Question: are cross bar included??
Document: It has a large handle that you simply pull up and it allows the J bar to rotate up and down and lock in both positions. The other bonus is having the bow and stern racheting tie downs included. These are excellent and make it very quick and completely stable.The only thing I need to get now is some locks to ensure that this great new rack doesn't walk away since it is just 8 wing nuts holding them on.
Initial mounting is easy, and they hold the kayaks really well. I can reach the rack's folding release bar mounted on my Subaru Tribeca without stepping up (I'm 5'8"). Typical excellent straps included, and you tuck in the strap ends by un-velcroing the rack pad. The kayaks ride well without shifting (& I only use the blue straps, not the tip and tail tie-downs). Really nice padding.
I picked up this rack recently because I had to transport my 15' kayak on a highway at 70 mph for a couple of hours. Rack easily bolted to my existing factory crossbars on a 2005 Subaru Outback. The shape of the mounting blocks are made to adapt to nearly any factory, Thule or Yakima Cross Bars as far as I can tell.
The fall off occurs with 3 foot c-c as well a 2 foot; straight cross rail or curved.A standard J-Rack on a trailer works great.If I were to recommend it I would add qualifications. It might work with extrmely narrow kayaks not the 29 inch wide Pungo or others of similar with.
Purchased this fold-down kayak mount for our two 9'-6" Wilderness Systems recreational kayaks, which mount on top of our 2008 Subaru Tribeca. I selected this model because of the nice and easy fold-down feature! The Thule Hull-A-Ports are mounted to Yakama cross bars. The Yakama cross bars were used because of the thick rubber coating and high strength.
This rack does function but not nearly a good as the standard J-Rack. I traded for a smaller car with factory cross-bars. None of the eaily removable rack adapters would work properly. The fold-down feature allows me to garage the car but still load my kayaks quickly for a trip to a local lake. The lower arm is shorter and does not curve up as the standard J-Rack.
Have use the mounts for almost a year now and love them! I don't use the front and rear tie-downs because the kayak cross-over straps seem to be secure enough and I didn't want ropes rubbing against the vehicle painted surfaces. I traveled a whole summer with the kayaks attached to our Subaru with no problems. The straps and mounts stayed secure. I tied the excess strap material (after exiting the strap latches) to the mounts as an extra precaution.
However in the manufacturing process,Thule pushed the bar in to create the square hole, so the square part of the bolt doesn't seat deep enough in the hole. Therefore, the bolt spins when you turn the nut, making it difficult to actually get the mount tight. It's almost like nobody at Thule actually tried to mount this on a vehicle before they started selling it. I would have expected better from Thule, especially for the price.
Two suggestion to ensure a safe, worry-free, long trip: make sure you use the included straps and front and back tie-downs. You may want to secure-anchor the front mounts with either a screw through the base, or rigid-connect the front mounts together--the kayaks (if you haul 2 as we did) will tend to want to separate/spread apart from the force of the wind over long distances. Great product! Thanks!
However, to deal with this threat I went down to my local West Marine store and grabbed four short lengths of SS wire and some crimps. Simply wrap wire around the cradle and the bar and crimp the ends together, I also put a short length of shrink tube around the connection to clean up the look a little. A lot tougher to steal and if I ever need to remove them, an easy snip and they`re off.
Answer: yes
