  • Load Assist System Option For The LockRack Watersport Carrier
  • While we aren't certain at the moment when the LockRack Loading Bar will become available, I do have another solution for you that you may be interested in. I recommend checking out the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Crossbar Mount # RR-RUSL. Similar to the Loading Bars, these are a universal load assist system that will allow you to load one canoe, kayak surfboard or ladder easily with one person. This load assist system has a weight capacity of 132-lbs, and measures 87-1/8" extended,...

  • Is There a T-Channel Kit for My Older Thule Compass 89000 Kayak Carrier?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that there is no t-slot hardware that is confirmed to fit your aftermarket non-Thule crossbar channels. However, if you are having trouble attaching your clamp-on mounts to your crossbars, your best bet is to use the Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Adapter for Thule Compass Watersport Carrier # THXADAPT13. The longer bolts that come with the Thule Compass ladder rack adapter will allow you to mount your older Thule Compass 89000...

  • Parts Needed to Use the Inno Locker Watersport Roof Rack with Rhino Rack Crossbars on a 2014 Mazda 3
  • To use the Inno Locker Watersport Roof Rack # INA446, you will need either round, square, aero or elliptical crossbars. It sounds like you are looking at the Rhino Rack roof racks for your 2014 Mazda 3. I would recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. The aero style is the most common style of bar. It offers better aero dynamics for less noise and with it being the more popular style, it is the most receptive for roof rack accessories. To use the # RRVA126B-2 crossbars...

  • Longer Bolt Kit for an Inno Water Sport Carrier Mounted On a 2023 Rivian R1T
  • Lucky for you, Inno does actually offer a longer bolt kit for their Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier # INA744. You'll just need the Tall Crossbar Adapter Kit for Inno Winter and Watersport Carriers # INISF711. These kit includes 4 80mm (3.15") and 4 100mm (3.94") bolts so you shouldn't run into any more short bolt issues, if you do then you might consider swapping the carrier with a t-slot mounted version # INXA445.

  • Roof Rack to Carry a Paddleboard or Kayak on a 2016 Buick Encore
  • If you don't already have a complete roof rack with crossbars on the roof of your 2016 Buick Encore you need to start there. You Encore should have flush mounted rails and we have the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero system that fits. Use parts # RRSX040 to mount the # RRVA126B-2 crossbars. Then to carry the SUP on the crossbars use a carrier like the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier, part # LR54FR. The SupPup connects to the crossbars. It can actually carry 2 SUPs if needed. If you're...

  • Recommended Solution to Carry 3 Kayaks on Ford Expedition
  • I have a solution for you, but the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR is only designed to carry a single boat; this carrier will hold up to 2 standup paddle boards, but is limited to a single boat. If your goal is to carry 3 boats on your Expedition and have factory crossbars you may be limited on space, so you'll want to compare the width of the boats combined with the available space on your crossbars. To maximize the available space you'll likely want a post style carrier...

  • Kayak Carriers for Use on 2016 Lincoln MKX
  • A 12-foot Eddyline Sandpiper kayak weighs a moderate 38-lbs in bone stock condition so the Lincoln's roof ought to be fine for the combined weight of two of them but it is still a good idea to check the owner's manual. Keep in mind that the vehicle's roof weight rating is for everything on it, which could include an aftermarket roof rack (10 to 15 -lbs) and kayak carriers (5 to 10-lbs) depending on which way you go. I suggest checking out the linked article on watersports carriers as it...

  • Recommended Solution for Carrying Wave Board on 2006 BMW 325i with Naked Roof
  • I recommend using the SeaSucker Board Carrier - Vacuum Cup Mounted - 2 Surfboards or Paddleboards # 298-BX1806, which works around the roof rack that you would normally need to carry this waveboard and will be the most cost effective solution if this is the only thing you'll be carrying on the roof. If you ever would need to carry bikes or a cargo box, I recommend using a full roof rack system like the Rhino Rack Roof Rack system that uses parts # RRVA106B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK292, which...

  • Parts to Install Yakima 78 HD Crossbars and Watersport Carriers on a 2014 Jeep Wangler Unlimited
  • To use your 78" Yakima HD Crossbars, part # Y01159, on your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you will need the Yakima 42" Tracks, Skyline Towers, HD Bar SL Adapters, and Landing Pad 1s. The Track Pads, part # Y01126, are designed for use on naked roofs (those without rails). They give a more flush look for the roof rack system.
