Got my baby all mounted up today and was put through a good 50 mile run with no mount issues. The cross rail and mounts were super cheap on Amazon, I believe TMS or Aero brand. Either way they held up nicely and very affordable. Enjoy the pics :ReneBlueWave:

You're in NJ! Nice. I'll be driving mine to the beach today. I'll be looking for ya.

What hardware set up do you have up top? Wife and I want to get into kayaking.

9 or 9.5 ft Precision Swifty and mounted on tms rack. Not the fastest yak on the water but good for some relaxing exercise

I just purchased this exact set up from your link except with the extra kayak j hooks instead of surfboard holder. I will post pics when they come in

Looks great! It's like you're practically ready to shoot a Renegade commercial.

better yet, looks like a renegade Jeep should feature on its social media pages, easiest and most effective thing for them to do at this stage, after all this is all people talking to people

I have 2 Perception Swiftys … will they both fit? … and I'm a small female … is it a hassle to put them on?
Love my TrailHawk!!!!

Here is my set up. Thank you for the links they worked great!

Looks awesome! Also fun fact, our Renegades were purchased from the same place!

I know I asked this before in this thread but I really want to get this setup on my TH for my kayaks. I'm concerned that it may be hard for me to put on by myself (currently I just put them in my van). I'm a small framed female but fairly strong for my size . Most of the time there would be two of us but sometimes I go alone. Thanks for any words of wisdom

Depending on your price point, if you're concerned with a heavier weight lifted well above your head (I'm 5'5"), then Thule makes the Hullivator. It's expensive but perfect for situations like this - [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Thule-897XT-Hullavator-Kayak-Carrier/dp/B000QV1WSM[/ame]

Well that's pretty cool but the places I may go with my TH might not be too kind to my kayak on the side of the Jeep. Pretty pricey for sure … thanks for the link

 

[Hmmm!!!]

Don't remember who makes it, either Thule, possibly Yakima. But one company like this makes a simple rack extender bar. You pull it out and then prop up one end of your kayak on the bar. Then you go pick up the rear of your kayak and lift up and load to the roof. Once done the bar slides back into its place. It makes loading or unloading a one person job.

It loads waist-height but then pulls up to the roof!!

I found it. It's called The Boatloader, sold by Yakima. It sells for $79.00

Would you mind posting a link to the cross bars and cradles you got? I love your set up and want the exact same thing Thanks!!!

Are you using bow and stern tie downs? Since the back of the Rene only has one hook to strap onto, could you just cross over to it for the second kayak. Or … is it even really necessary to tie them front and back? Thanks!
