Question:
I have found the recommendation for the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 8-1/4inch Tall - RL210S2 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars RRVA150B-2 for my 2019 Wrangler with the Sky One Touch top. What kayak carrier do you recommend to go with those? I have 2 Kayaks that I would like to be able to transport.

I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 8-1/4inch Tall # RL210S2 and the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 are not confirmed to fit your 2019 Jeep Wrangler 4-door Unlimited with a Sky One Touch roof.
However, we currently do have a confirmed setup that will work from Yakima. For that system, I recommend the following parts for your vehicle:
- Round CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack - 58" # Y00409 or 66" # Y00410
- Spacers for Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y01101
- Yakima 1A Raingutter Towers # Y00101
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204
As far as a carrier to mount your kayaks on the system, I recommend the Yakima JayLow # Y04073. Not only will the JayLow support 2 kayaks up to 110 pounds, it also involves a simple clamp-on installation with no tools required. For adding the second kayak, you need the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops - 1/4" x 12' # Y04031. If you plan on adding lock cores for extra security for the JayLow, I recommend using the lock cores # Y07206 instead of the # Y07204 to make all of your accessories keyed-alike.
The roof rack setup itself comes with a 165 pound weight capacity. I recommend consulting with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can accommodate that much weight.
