Questions & Answers

Will these fit Yakima crossbars that are rounded?

Probably

Can these be used on a ladder rack with round cross pieces on a pickup truck?

Almost certainly not.

Yakima round cross bars are what I have. a large number of people are purchasing similar j-shirts On round bars, bars report that they flop around rather than fitting snugly. What do you think of these?

On round crossbars, these would most likely flop around. On square crossbars, I'm putting it to use.

Will this work with crossbars that are 1" x 1" square?

Probably, but it's designed for flat bars, so it might be insecure with them. a bar that is 1" in width

Does a good job
5/5

So far, everything has gone well. I've had them on my racks for a few months and they haven't shown any signs of rust or wear. These are what I'm using to transport my ten-footer. Personally, I wouldn't go any larger.

However, I would advise tightening the screws at least once a week
3/5

They are capable of carrying out their responsibilities. They're durable. However, I would suggest tightening the screws once a week, as they can become loose over time.

For smaller boats, this product is of good quality
4/5

Although the construction is of good quality, the connection to the square bar across the members appears to be a little flimsy. It's a little too tall mounted on my truck topper for securing my 52 pound load. sit- It will suffice for my iSUP or smaller boats as a top kayak.

Very well constructed
5/5

The Reefs J Hooks have excellent straps and are well-built. I liked them so much that I ordered a second set.

These are fantastic
5/5

They were a perfect fit for my 2013 Ford Escape Titanium. There's also not much wind.

Great kayak rack, simple to put together, and provides a rock-solid hold
5/5

The ease with which the installation was completed surprised me. In about 7 minutes, I was able to secure the kayak. This kayak rack is designed to securely mount to the crossbars of most roof racks. br>br>Overviewbr>br> The straps and rope can be adjusted to fit a variety of vehicle types and sizes. How safe is it? br>br> You can pull on the kayak and rock the suspension without it moving if it's installed properly. br>br> br> Furthermore, the foam rubber padding keeps it secure even when it isn't tied down. Obviously, you don't want to drive around like that, but knowing it won't slide around on you while loading or unloading is comforting. It's especially important if you're going it alone. As a result, it holds on as securely as anyone could possibly require. br>br>Durabilitybr>br>It's made of canvas and has sliding tie down straps that should last a long time, and the metal construction appears to be quite sturdy. br> The mounting hardware appears to be quite sturdy, and the bolts are coarse threaded, which means they won't cross thread easily. br> I'm sure the rack will outlast you if you look after it properly: ) The foam will most likely degrade at a normal rate, but that can always be replaced with a foam noodle, so there's no need to worry. br>br> I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good deal. It's a one-stop shop that requires no additional purchases and is simple to assemble.
