Product Details

Fixed J-Style Kayak Carrier by Rhino-Rack®. The Fixed J Style Kayak Carrier is designed to transport your kayak or canoe on the side to save space allowing for a second watercraft to be mounted on the other side of your roof racks dependant on the length of your crossbars. The space saving design enables you to mount other accessories such as a luggage carrier for extra gear and a Multi Purpose Holder for your paddles. The Universal fitment allows the S510 to be compatible with all current roof rack systems with specific fitting kits. Whether you're out paddling by yourself or with others, the S510 Fixed J Style Kayak Carrier has you covered so you can enjoy the most out of your day. The S510 comes with all the necessary accessories to get you started including: stainless steel hardware, rubber tube padding and tie down straps.

Installation

Conventional Kayak carriers transport the boat on its top or bottom, which doesn’t leave much room on the cross bars for anything else. If you want to take along another kayak or additional gear on your trip, you’re going to have to find another way of carrying it. The Fixed J-Style Carrier is the solution to the space problem. This carrier transports the boat on its side, which leaves plenty of space on your cross bars for cargo or another kayak.

The Fixed J-Style Kayak Carrier is constructed from tough carbon steel tubing. To preserve appearance and to resist fading and corrosion, Rhino-Rack applies a state-of-the-art coating for protection. Rubber tube pads are included to cushion and protect your kayak’s finish. Once your boat is loaded, use the 2 included 9.9’ padded tie-down straps to secure the craft to the carrier, and the 2 included 18’ tie-down straps to secure the bow and stern of the boat to the vehicle.

Stainless steel security hardware and clamps are included to attach the J-Style cradles to Rhino-Rack Aero cross bars, factory cross bars, and most popular aftermarket cross bar shapes, and a security hex key is included. If your vehicle has Rhino-Rack H/D cross bars, an optional fitting kit is needed for installation. The Fixed J-Style Kayak Carrier comes with detailed, illustrated installation instructions, and it’s backed by a limited 3-year warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship.

Scion XA Can Handle 2 Kayaks
We weren't sure if these carriers would work because scion xa isn't listed. This is a small scion but it was able to handle 2 kayaks with these Rhino Rack fixed J style kayak carrier. We loved how easy it was to load and unload our kayaks. Each time we use it, we learn a little faster technique to tie them down. Not only do we use our kayaks more, we can use a car instead of our truck, allowing us to transport to places further away without the gas costs of our truck. Having two kayaks on the car does use up our gas quicker but still cheaper than transporting in a truck. The model in this survey says IA but doesn't mention an XA. You might want to add the XA.

Extension
Would only get I car is narrow. When paired with folding j racks, one lays flat, others held too upright which easily tips over. Also places tie-down positions in the center of the vehicle, hard to reach. Works if the only solution. I feel it was a waste of money and ordered second j racks.

Rhino Rack Folding Kayak Carrier
Customer service has been top notch! The racks are very functional and easy to use. I have the whole Rhino Rack system for my vehicle. Would highly recommend both this product and this vendor for future purchases.

This Kayak Cradle Is Fabulous!
My husband kept going on and on about the high quality of the entire rack system I purchased for my KIA Forte and about how well made it is and the ease of assembly and instruction.

Great Product!
I am super impressed with this kayak carrier. I feel absolutely reassured when my kayak is secured now. This carrier is super easy to install on my luggage rack and load my kayak on. I would definitely recommend this product. The delivery was quick as well.

Great Product
This is a great product. I like the folding style to allow for a cleaner look. This product is great quality, and very easy to install. No tools required. This product comes with straps as well so you have everything you need in one box ready to hit the road with your kayaks. The price is a little higher than other products but the quality and ease is worth the extra cost. I purchased the Rhino-Rack Folding J-Style Carrier and the expansion carrier. I still have room on the top of my FJ cruiser and I intend to buy another set. Great products.

Great Product
Very easy to install. The only thing was that the bolts to mount were not long enough for the roof rack that I bought, but I think it was because I got the heavy duty cross bar racks from Rhino that are much thicker than the normal ones. But just had to change them out, no big deal. Still a great product.

Is excellent to carry my ladders. I put 40 f en 28 plus 24 on the top of my truck, I make sure they are secure and do the job. I love this RTL002, it really works.
