Yakaima Kayak Rack Question
I bought a kayak some weeks ago and it came with a Yakima Kayak Roller Rack, but was for a 89 Chevy Blazer. Was fixing to sell it off of Ebay and i saw that some ebay auctions are selling the rollers separate.
Was woundering. Can i Just buy a Roof Rack system for the Wrangler and use the old Roller Parts from the Yakima to mount onto the bars of the wrangler roof rack? Mainly, im wanting to save time and money.

I don't know how this setup will work for you, but here's what I did.
 35$ from sports authority. Just got a "roof rack" system for a car. Strap the front and back down to the bumpers then take the center strap and wrap it around the bar and kayak. You'll have a blast with the kayak.

We did the same thing. On some one elses TJ we put the Kargo Master roof rack on it. I think that's the one, then we got a set of the Yakima Nissan Xtera mounts and then the bars that go arcoss the rack. If you do go with those rollers, which work well, put them in the back and the braces up front, much easier to put on that way. Also, wrap a little electrical tape around the cross bar where yoiu're going to put the roller because the rollers don't stick on the bars very well and the tape will help them hold on better

The rollers are interchangable from car to car. You just need model specific hardware for the cross bars. I've never used Yakima, only Thule. I have three yaks so I'm gonna have to figure something out in a few months as to how to transport them to the water. My Thule sysem is on my wifes Element which is auto and my Rubi is stick so my wife cant drive it.
