Leader Accessories Kayak Rack 2 Pair J Bar for Canoe Surf Board SUP On Roof Top Mount Crossbar with 4 pcs Tie Down Straps

The media could not be loaded. I was pretty skeptical at first when I saw this product for a number of reasons. Obviously, there are some concerns about the way it fits on the car rack. The second, was because of the price. Often you hear the phrase, you get what you pay for. And third, I was unsure how durable this product would be, and I was concerned it would fall apart while transporting my kayaks to the lake. Well, I have to say I am extremely impressed with these kayak racks. They are extremely durable, easy to put together and equally easy to mount to my car. I was concerned it would not fit my crossbar, but was Pleasantly surprised when it only took me five minutes to put on my car. You can see by the pictures in my review how nice these racks fit on my crossbar. I’m actually really excited about this purchase and Love that I can easily take these on and off when I wanna get out to the lake.The only Concern I have with this purchase are with the straps. The straps themselves seem to be durable, but the buckle does not seem to hold very well. I would definitely look into a higher quality, locking mechanism type buckle.Overall, I think this was a great purchase and an incredible price.

I love these racks! The are very sturdy and a great value for the price I paid. Fit my car great and went on easily. Both my kayaks felt safe and secure on the car while driving an hour. Haven't taken them for a longer trip yet, but I am confident that they would do fine. Got some scratches on them already from my ratchet straps, but haven't noticed any rust so far.

I bought for upcoming guys weekend. They came in fast and were easy to install. Putting them together was easy but time-consuming. Do yourself a favor and invest in deep well socks for a wratchet. Had no issues using there or back. Great product for the money.

I bought this set of 4 kayak J racks from Amazon and the fabricator is Leader Accessories. Excellent racks for my two 10-feet long Pelican Bandit kayaks, 30 inch wide. Easy installations, all the parts matched. I can enter perfectly in my regular 2-car garage in Florida with all 4 racks mounted on top of my 2007 Toyota Highlander. Still have 2 inches distance to the opened garage door. I tested the racks from the store to my house the racks with the kayaks mounted and they were very stabile. Thanks.

The screws barely clear the roof on my 2010 RAV4 but the rack works great. The straps that are included only hold the kayak C/C and U/D so you definitely want to get some front and rear straps to hold it F/A. I took it on the highway multiple times over 55mph and the kayaks did not move at all.

I’ve used my kayak racks a few times now. They’re fairly easy to install, and hold the kayaks themselves well enough. It can be a pain putting the kayaks up and getting around to strap them in, but I also have a Jeep so it’s a given with the height. One issue I’ve found is that I always have one J hooks that moves around slightly during the drive. Part of this is because the roof rack on my Jeep itself has wide bars which makes it hard for the fixing mechanisms to get a good grip and tightening needs to be precise and even on each side.

Installed it two days ago, seems pretty sturdy, it was easy assemble and install, it took maybe 1 hour to put it all together and install on a car. I have pretty large kayaks so I had to install them in a same angle. I wish straps a little longer. Ordered a set of straps from another seller.

Bought them for my kayaks and they did not disappoint. They are somewhat easy to put together though there are many screws to put in place. There assembly on top of the cross bars was excellent and they help my kayaks with the strap just fine. I did not near the bow and stern straps for a local trip but will use for the longer and highway speed trips. I just wish they came with them because I had to buy them myself and I did see the same system under different brands for less money. Folding feature would have been nice but they make so just fine.
