Great quality and very sturdy. Please note that if you purchase these for Equinox, Traverse, etc., you will need shorter bolts for the centers. The ones that come with it are too long and will probably scratch your roof. Easy fix with an angle grinder -- take ~1" off the length. Great price and worth a little effort...

The rack itself is nice and appears to be sturdy and well made. The seller delivered it very quickly and it was at a good price. However, when I went to install them on my truck rack they did not fit. Now I need to go to a shop, find bars that fit well, and mount securely, and then weld them onto the truck rack. Then you need to paint the rack so it does not look terrible. So, if you purchase this item or an item like this be ready to weld and paint before you can install and use. Also, I am sure that 10-foot kayaks and 15-foot kayaks want the racks in different spots, so I am installing 4 cross beams to mount on. 2 beams for the rear and 2 beams for the front. That will enable you to carry ocean kayaks and small freshwater kayaks, I hope.

These kayak J cradles are an awesome value for around $60. They seem relatively strong and clamped on decently well to my vehicle's cross bars (aerodynamic wing type). I have used them several times to carry 40-50 pound kayaks. That having been said; they are of a universal mounting design and hence don't clamp on as securely as a Thule/Yakima j cradle on Thule/Yakima crossbars. I would recommend these crossbars to anyone who wants to transport a kayak and doesn't want to spend cash on brand name crossbars.

Good Value. I wish the assembly instructions were a little more detailed. The rubber bar protectors have already started to show wear after 3 trips. I have an odd sized Kayak and it is a little heavier than most, so that may be a factor. The straps could have been a little longer. Over all, it held the kayak and we drove 70 mph with no worries.

Good quality for the great price. Straps a bit flimsy, however still suitable to secure. May update straps at a later date. Overall very satisfied.
