Advice on choice of roof rack?

schubutt · 06-26-2008

I got the Yakima Big Stack for my WRX and it's a a pain to use, especially for one kayak. I think it would work pretty well for stacking 4 kayaks. If you get one of the "J-Cradle" types, is possible to stack a second kayak on the opposite side of the cradle? What are most people using?

Hey Steve,

I've stacked a second (and a third one) on the back of the J-Cradle and it worked quite well. It was probably an out-of-specs usage, but nothing fell down...

. It worked well with two small river runners (Jackson fun type...) not sure with bigger boats.
