Anyone have any Kayaks that they haul around on their xD?
With photos and specs of rack would be great, looking to haul 2 of them.

Crappy pic, I know. Roof rack is Thule Aero. Kayak rack is SportRack J-stacker ($99 at etrailer.com).



I often carry two kayaks. I'm almost convinced that I could fit three up there, but have no reason to do so.

I'm happy with the SportRack setup. It includes straps as well as bow and stern tie-downs (which I don't need, because our kayaks are so short). The rack installs and removes very quickly and easily.

 

Thats what I needed. Havent found anything cheap yet,
Does the rack on the roof go inside the door jams or does it attach some other way?

It mounts like most others... There is a foot on the roof, and a clamp that grabs the top of the door opening. There's no other way to do it besides bolting it to the roof. I really like the new Thule feet. Each one has a built in torque tool for tightening it. Very easy to get on and off. I leave mine on most of the time because I use it so often. Just this week, I have carried by bike, my kayak, and two ten foot sections of electrical conduit. That doesn't even count what I've hauled in the trailer (which is hooked up to my car at this very moment).
