Low cost doesn’t always mean low quality – this is what the TMS J-Bar kayak rack was able to prove. Designed to act as a carrier for kayaks, canoes, bikes, and surfboards, it is built to be compatible with almost every type of crossbars.

Its steel construction combined with the adjustable padding allows you to securely mount your gear without putting too much effort into loading and unloading.

Your kayak can be attached to its side, which gives plenty of room for transporting more than just one piece of equipment. Make use of the straps that come with the rack to safely store your gear on the roof. The majority of kayaks will fit onto this rack as it can accommodate equipment up to 36-inches wide and 75-pounds heavy.

The manufacturer made sure to include 2 sets of racks for your disposal and granted a lifetime warranty that makes the deal as appealing as it can be.
