Product Details
Universal Folding J-Style Kayak Carrier Extension (S512X) by Rhino-Rack®. The folding J-style carrier transports your kayak on its side to minimize width and take up less space on the cross bars, allowing other cargo or carriers to be installed on the roof rack. Made of rugged carbon steel tubing with state-of-the-art weatherproof coating and rubber tube padding to protect your boat, this carrier can be folded flat for increased roof clearance, and optional extension pieces enable the carrier to transport 2 kayaks back-to-back. The folding J-Style carrier comes with two 9.8’ padded tie-down straps to secure the boat to the carrier and two 18 ft. straps to secure the bow and stern of the boat to the vehicle. The carrier comes ready to install on Rhino-Rack Aero, OEM and most popular cross bars. A fitting kit (not included) is required for installation on Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty cross bars.

The cost of recreational activities is high enough without adding to them unnecessarily. Rhino-Rack is doing its part to keep costs down with these Folding J-Style Kayak Carrier Extension Pieces. Instead of having to purchase another entire carrier if you want to transport an additional kayak on your roof rack, these economical extension pieces can be used with the Folding J-Style carrier to turn it into a dual carrier, transporting 2 kayaks back-to-back.
With the folding part of the J-Style carrier in the vertical position the extension piece becomes the lower part of the “J”, forming a mirror image carrier on the other side. Like the J-Style carrier, the extension pieces are constructed from durable carbon steel tubing and given a state-of-the-art coating to prevent them from fading or corroding. 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 extension pieces 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 Folding J-Style Kayak Carrier Extension Pieces come with detailed, illustrated installation instructions, and they’re backed by a limited 3-year warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship.
