Looks good. Fits good. My truck is tall. I am small. The rear roller rack makes loading the kayaks easy enough. I have not traveled with them yet.



by:

This combo makes loading and unloading a quick and easy one man job.



by:

I returned this item as it didn't work for my particular kayak. Gave a 3 star since I didn't use. Quality of product was good when I received it.



by:

Works great



by:

This roller and pad setup allowed me to get a 68 lb kayak on and off my car by myself. Could not do that with the Jlow racksI



by:

I was so impressed with the speed in which my order was fulfilled! The right products, carefully packaged, and promptly delivered. Couldn't be happier with the service I received!



by:

The rollers with the saddles work perfectly for loading and unloading the kayaks. My only complaint is that the screw clamps either vibrate loose or do not grip the rack well. They have fallen off a couple of times, luckily, they fell into the bed of my truck.



by:

Just got these in the mail. They fit the stock rack on my 02 Subaru outback great and feel extremely durable. I have a very wide and heavy Jackson kayak Big Rig and I feel these will hold it great. Prior to these I trailered it or struggled to get it on the roof. Just roll it up there and secure it. This was the best product for me as all the other racks are so dang light and flimsy. Furthermore this was the best price I could find and I'm lazy and don't want to order the products separate. One and done and you save $ Great buy!



by:

This worked GREAT on my 2015 Outback with factory installed roof racks. Right out of the box I installed the SKS lock cores (purchased separately) clamped them on, locked them down, added my kayak and I was off for a day on the river. Just a matter of minutes to install everything. Highly recommend.



by:

Fast shipping and easy installation



by:

Product was as described. Easy rolling it onto the roof of my Subaru. Great customer service. Like that you include all the necessary straps too. Thank you!



by:

Kit comes as advertised, easy to set up and use



by:

Good carrier set! It's easy to load and holds the boat securely, even our big 14 foot tandem ocean kayak that weighs 75 pounds. The cinch straps are easy to handle and the clips for the loose end of the strap holds it nicely. For anyone trying to decide whether to get the rollers, I would say they do make a modest difference in the ease of unloading. Two sets of saddles would also do the job.

My only complaints are:
1) the bow and stern tie straps don't come with clips to hold the loose end of the strap. I use a binder clip, but people poke fun at me for it.
2) It seems like for this price locks should be included....

Keep in mind this rack takes up most of the space on an SUV roof, so if you need to carry two boats at once, consider J-racks instead.



by:

High quality as expected from Yakima.

Still working fine. Helpful in loading either a hard kayak or our new inflatable.



by:

i use with yakima big catch on top of cargo van
rollers work great to help get my 12 foot top water on the roof alone.
the other part works great to hold the front of kayak in place.



by:

This was my second large order from Etrailer.com and my wife I are VERY pleased! Our first order was a Curt 5th wheel hitch which performed as advertised - so easy to use.
Now we haul our 5th wheel camper and that takes up my entire full sized F250 truck bed which in turn messed up hauling the kayaks back there. I was leaning toward rigging something up on the back of the camper, saw lots of posts on how to many looked very sketchy. Rather than risk dumping our two $$$ fishing kayaks onto the highway.... somewhere..... we bought this GREAT Yakima roof rack system for the TOP of my truck cab. You see, it made me uneasy that I wouldn't be able to keep an eye on our boats if strapped to the back AND we read about many horror stories not limited to the rear bumper falling off from fatigue. Yakima Install; I'm a General Contractor and fancy myself a pretty handy guy so mounting the towers, the rack bars, and all of the accessories onto those took a total three hours. [on-line] videos very useful and follow the easy to read instructions that come with each part and you'll have NO trouble. I have to add, etrailer said it would take one week but I received the complete order within four days. Thank you etrailer for making the ordering through delivery experience so very streamlined!



by:

I bought these for hauling my wife's kayaks on Yakima's Overhaul rack system. Super easy to use and remove when we're not hauling the kayaks around. Highly recommend.



by:

First of all, 5 stars to etrailer as usual. They are amazing. I purchased a Yakima kayak rack, actually 2 and have installed them both on the Jeep roof. Both fit great. Great product that fit my situation. I have bought Yakima products in the past, always great fit form and function. I highly recommend both etrailer and Yakima products.



by:

Solidly engineered and manufactured. My racks arrived in a few days. Worked well for my kayak.



by:

These look amazing and look forward to loading my kayak easily on them. Super easy to install and have a round fit for the Yakima round crossbar. LOVE their products!



by:

Purchased a Yakima kayak carrier with rollers. Yakima produces a quality product, but it is a bit pricey.



by:

Easy to set up. Kayaks fit well on these carriers. I will be observing durability.



by:

Appearance is as described on the website, fits the 2007 Gmc envoy factory cross bars. Planning to load Hoodoo 120p kayak this weekend to test for fit and function.



by:

Received my order in just a few days! Thank you. Also wanted to let you know I enjoy your videos that you post about how to use the products that you sell



by:

Everything is what I expected! Works great! Looking at buying other items from them !!!

This mounting kit will simply clamp around the crossbars on your TruXedo Elevate system and will allow you to transport 1 kayak that weights a maximum of 80-lbs.

  • Is Anything Else Needed with the HandRoll Kayak Carrier on a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
    The HandRoll Carrier # Y04082 that you referenced is actually just the part of the carrier that has the wheels. To complete the carrier you also need some saddles like the DeckHand # Y04083. This combination is available for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon in the kit # Y04083-04082 and is compatible with round, square, or aero-style crossbars. To add locks to either setup you need the 4 lock core set # Y07204.

  • Best Kayak Carrier for Ease of Loading and Clearance on a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban
    The best rooftop kayak carrier we have for your 2016 Chevrolet Suburban is the Yakima Kayak Carrier part # Y04083-04082. This carrier uses saddles so it will provide the best clearance when pulling into the garage and it has rollers so once you get the bow/hull on top of the roof you can simple push it the rest of the way on. It comes with all of the tie-downs you need but you can add locks for security using part # Y07204. It is also easily removable using the hand knobs because each piece...

  • Will Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082 Fit Thule AeroBlade Crossbars
    Yes, the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082 that you referenced will fit Thule AeroBlade Crossbars. The only thing you will want to verify is that you have at least a 24 inch crossbar spread (distance between the two crossbars, on center). I have attached a short video demonstration on the kayak carrier that you can check out as well.

  • What Size Round Bars Will the Yakima Kayak Carrier Part # Y04083-04082 Fit
    The Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style with Rollers part # Y04083-04082 is designed to fit a wide variety of roof rack systems including the round bars similar to Yakima Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack Systems part # Y00408. They will work on round bars down to 1-1/8" in diameter. You will find most manufacturers use aftermarket roof racks from name brand companies like Yakima as their in dealer add on shops.

  • Does the Yakima Kayak Carrier Fit on Overhaul HD Crossbars?
    Yes, the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04083-04082 will work with the Overhaul HD Crossbars. The Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack item # Y01151-58 has 68" crossbars that measure 3" wide x 1-1/2" thick. I contacted Yakima and they were able to confirm that the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs item # Y04083-04082 will fit bars with those dimensions. It looks like your Vibe Shearwater 125 weighs right at 80 lbs which is the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs...

  • Will the Yakima HandRoll Work to Transport a 57-Pound Kayak on My 2013 Mini Countryman?
    I have a kayak carrier solution for you. The Yakima HandRoll # Y04082 only comes with the roller portion of the setup. With this 1/2 system, are is no front supports that allow you to mount the kayak. In order to have the full setup, you need the # Y04083-04082 that include the saddles. In order to determine if this system will clamp around your factory crossbars on your 2013 Mini Countryman, I recommend measuring your crossbars. If the height and width of your crossbars do not exceed...

  • Can the Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082 Fit on My Factory Rack on My 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser?
    We definitely have a way to confirm whether your round bars on your 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser work with the Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082. As long as the round bars on your rack are at least 1-1/8 inches in diameter, the # Y04083-04082 can clamp onto those bars. I recommend measuring the diameter of your bars to make sure they fit into this thickness requirement.

  • Can Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier Haul Fishing Kayak
    Yes, the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs # S65145 is compatible with a 36 inch wide fishing kayak, but there are also better options for this style of kayak. Instead of the single saddle of the Exo Aero I highly recommend using one with four separate saddles that you can position at the width of your choosing for optimal security. A budget-friendly but solid option is the Rola Hull-Hauler Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Clamp On # 599131. This...

  • How to Determine if Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier Will Fit MotorFansClub Roof Rack Rail Cross Bars
    From what I could find it looks like your MotorFansClub Roof Rack Rail Cross Bars are a pretty standard size so the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082 should fit just fine. These were designed about the Yakima JetStream crossbars which measure 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall so if your crossbars are similar then you should be fine. If not, just let me know what they measure and I can do some digging to see if they will fit. Please be mindful that the kit you referenced is only...

    If you are asking if the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082 will work with the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB then the answer is yes. The Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack # TH500XTB has load bars (crossbars) that measure 3-1/2" wide x 1-1/2" tall.

  • Is Yakima Kayak Carrier Compatible With Fishing Kayak With Scupper Holes
    Yes, you can use the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style with Rollers # Y04083-04082 with your Jackson fishing kayak with scupper holes. Those holes will not interfere with the mounting that this carrier provides. The only thing to keep in mind is that this carrier has an 80 lb weight capacity and quite a few fishing kayaks are heavier than that, including some of the Jackson fishing kayaks I saw. If it was you'd need a different carrier, the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier...

  • Best Kayak Carrier for the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack
    I do have an option for you but the round bar adapters included with the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # Y04083-04082 are designed specifically for Yakima Round Crossbars which are 1-1/8" diameter. The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack part # 298-SX6000B that you have are about 1-1/4" diameter so they cannot be used together which it sounds like you are aware of. I wish I had some sort of other adapter that would work for you but currently the only option we have for you would...

  • Can Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier and Square Bar Roof Rack Work on 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
    I spoke with my contact at Thule and he stated that the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist # TH898 referenced in your question is not compatible with the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is simply because the weight capacity of the Grand Caravan along with a roof rack is not sufficient to support the Hullavator. I instead recommend looking at the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082. This system is a bit different than the Hullavator but it does also offer some...

  • Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a Perception Kayak-Rambler Double Seat 78 lb Kayak
    Since your Perception Kayak-Rambler is a larger kayak I recommend using the Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082. This combines the DeckHand and HandRoll carriers so that you get the ease of loading with the rollers but the stability that saddles offer, plus it has a weight capacity of 80 lbs which is perfect for your setup. This kit also comes with everything you need to secure your kayak, although if you aren't able to find good anchor points on your vehicle you can use...

  • Is Yakima Y04091 Big Catch Kayak Carrier Lockable?
    The Yakima # Y04091 BigCatch isn't lockable, for a similar locking kayak carrier, I'd recommend the # Y04083-04082 Kayak Carrier. If the 80 lb capacity will accommodate your kayak, this would be a good choice for easy loading and unloading. If the 80 lb capacity isn't sufficient, your best bet would be to go with the BigCatch and simply remove the carrier when you're leaving the vehicle unattended.

  • Carrying a FeelFree Lure 13.5 Fishing Kayak on the Roof of a 2016 GMC Acadia
    I have a solution for you, but the Yakima DeckHand and HandRoll kit, part # Y04083-04082 are only rated to carry 80 pound kayaks. This limit is because of the spring-loading used in the saddles and rollers. Since it seems like you want to stick with a hull down load, which makes a lot of sense considering that my research shows the Feelfree Lure 13.5 weighs about 95 pounds, I'd stick to saddle style racks. Specifically, the Lockrack Adjustable XL, part # LR54FR is one of the better...

  • Can Yakima Kayak Carrier Work With TracRac Crossbar
    The size of the TracRac crossbars will not let you install the Yakima Kayak Carrier # Y04083-04082. The only option is to use Thule Surf Pad # TH845000. You will also want some tie-downs to secure the bow and stern of the kayak. I also recommend bow and stern tie-downs like the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes # TH855XT.

  • Carrier for Two Kayaks that Fits 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon with OEM Bars
    The Yakima Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082 that you referenced is a fit for the factory crossbars of your 2019 Subaru Outback. Two of these racks would easily fit but it might be challenging to get the two kayaks next to each other since your bars are not super long. Another solution that would work great is the Thule Compass part # TH890000 which can easily fit two 29 inch kayaks and would also fit well on your Subaru bars. Due to it's design it wouldn't be challenging to fit...

  • Can Yakima ShowDown Kayak Carrier Be Used on a 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour
    Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out again! The Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 needs the crossbars to extend at least 3-1/2" out past the towers for proper fitment, and Yakima states not to use these with roof racks that clamp to a roof so you wouldn't be able to use the ShowDown with the naked roof on your 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour.

    The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 has a 500 lb capacity and HD load bars that are 78 inches long so it would easily carry the weight of your 80 lb boat, kayaks, and mountain bikes. One great feature is that you could put the boat on the bottom level and the other items you plan to carry on the top level or vice versa as needed.
