TMS J-Bar Kayak Rack (2 pair)

Two J-bar carriers for 2 kayaks at the lowest price in this category — often under $70 for the pair. 75 lb capacity each, padded arms, universal crossbar fit. At 16 lbs total the steel is thick and the finish is basic. If budget is the primary constraint and you need to carry 2 boats, nothing else comes close on price. Expect to replace the foam padding after a season or two.
