Fits 4 Kayaks on Larger Vehicles!

Fits 4 Kayaks on Larger Vehicles!
Among my friends, I am the only one who drives a vehicle capable of transporting kayaks without any extra equipment. I have always just thrown them in the back, but I can only fit two inside the vehicle. In an effort to increase my capacity to bring more friends out on the water, I purchased two sets of these racks. They attached directly to my Suburban's aero-style bars, but had cutouts for square bars and sleeves for round bars as well. Once attached, they were very secure. The only way they were going anywhere is if they sheared the crossbars off the roof itself. I purchased the Yakima lock cores, which I felt is an unnecessary secondary purchase. They really should just build these into the racks.Strapping the boats takes less than 5 minutes if you're only putting one on, obviously longer if you're strapping two to a rack. It was kind of confusing at first figuring out what goes where for two on a rack, but now that I've done it a few times, I can get 4 kayaks on my roof ready for the road in less than 30 minutes with one other person to help. The racks came with bow and stern straps, but I didn't really feel comfortable with them in the front after the first trip. The straps would shake with the wind, even with a couple twists in them, and the backpack-style buckles didn't inspire much confidence. I have since purchased two sets of the Yakima Bow and Stern Tiedowns with the ratchet-style tightening system and rope. I use all 4 in the front (since that's where the most force is while driving) and hook them directly into the push bar on the front of my vehicle. I still use the supplied straps for the rear.**The bow and stern straps are the most important part of this whole system. They are what keep the boats in your car at speed. Without them, the wind would shear the rack right off your car. They are only attached with thin sheet metal screws. It is because if this I would recommend getting a better tiedown system, at least for the front.All told, I am very happy with this purchase. I am able to fit 4 boats on the roof of my vehicle, which leaves room inside for friends and gear. I don't have pictures with 4 on there, but you can see if I straightened the rack with the green boat that there is enough room to put another kayak on the other side of the rack. I have had 4 boats on the roof and driven 70mph on the highway with no problems whatsoever (aside from the wind noise, which is unavoidable). I will update if anything changes, but for now, I would definitely recommend these.

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022
So, I pretty much love everything about this product. It feels sturdy. It functions well. I like the fold down capability for low profile.
I don't hear any wind noise, but I have it mounted on the bed of my pickup truck. Easy installation.
I ordered the key locks for it.
It holds my 10' kayak securely.
My only suggestion would be for the manufacturer to replace the cheap plastic handles for aluminum.
The plastic feels cheap in comparison to the rest of the product.
Otherwise, I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Rack!
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2022
I picked up the JayLow after doing some research for kayak racks, purchased my first kayak used which was 200 miles across the state from me. Was a bit anxious about a 3 hour drive in windy conditions at highways speeds. The rack performed as intended with no failures despite some fairly heavy cross winds while going 70mph for 3 hours. Loading up as easy with the built in ramps and the straps were of good quality which made securing the yak an easy process. I covered the holes under the rack with electrical tape as others have described and had no annoying whistling to contend with, easy fix. My only suggestion would be to purchase hood anchors for the bow/stern straps for easier access when strapping it down, they are inexpensive and no need to get under the vehicle at that point. Would purchase again, I hope to update after more use later this summer!

Well, we spring for two sets as you can see. They work absolutely great, were a breeze to put on, and we did get the locks also so we can leave them on through the summer. The straps that come with them are so easy to use and seem to hold tight without crushing the kayaks. Very happy that we can load up on a nice day and hit the water without a huge production. They also fold down and blend in fairly nice when not in use, very happy
