Recommended Roof Rack For A 2014 Subaru Outback Hauling Two 31" Wide Kayaks  

Question:

Hi, I have a 2014 Subaru Outback. I need to haul 2 kayaks. Obviously I need to have 2 LockRacks to do that. Will that application work on my car and what would I need to purchase to make that happen? Kayaks are 31”. Thank you! Trying to go strapless. Erik

Hey Erik,

With two 31" wide kayaks you'll have to go pretty wide on the crossbars to have enough length to accommodate both. I recommend the following roof rack components:

TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR
HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541
Yakima HD Crossbars - 68" Long # Y01158

I'd then switch from the clamp-mount LockRack carrier # LR24VR to the channel-mount version # LR88FR. This would allow you to mount the carriers into the track on top of the crossbars for a super easy installation or removal. This would also allow you to lock the carriers into the crossbars to help deter theft.
