Cost Effective Way to Carry Two Kayaks on the Roof of a 2003 Toyota Avalon
Question:
What is the difference between the kayak carrier you recommended and this one? Inno Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Clamp On - 2 Kayaks Would this work better since it's the same brand as the rack itself? Easier/hard to install or load kayaks than Rola-J?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For a roof rack confirmed to fit your 2003 Toyota Avalon SLE I recommend the Inno Square Crossbar Roof Rack System which is composed of part # INB137, part # INSUT, and part # INK202. This is an excellent cost effective system for you. It has square crossbars as the title states that will accept a wide range of different rooftop carriers. The bars have a 140 lb weight capacity though you will need to check the roofs weight capacity before use.
The best way to carry two kayaks on the roof of your vehicle would be with two sets of j-style carriers like the Rola J-Rac Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # 59912. These carriers have foam pads to protect the kayaks in addition to including straps and tie-downs to secure the kayaks to the vehicle and carrier.
I have attached a review video of the above carrier for you as well.
