Hello. The Thule 848 Hull-a-Port XT, can hold up to two kayaks weighting up to 130 pound combined, this requires the vertical support in the right angle position and an extra set of straps. The Thule 830 Stacker can hold up to four kayaks with combined weight not to exceed the roof rack's weight capacity. Thanks!
Hey Bobby! Yes, you will absolutely need to use those straps to secure the kayak to the front and back of the car. This is to ensure the kayak cannot launch forward or back in the event of an accident, and they are required to ensure total safety on the road. Safe travels!
Hello. The Thule Same Key System has hundreds of unique keys numbers, but a rack system can be set up with match locks so one key is all that's needed. Thanks!
I wish that hook was something other than metal.. don't like how close it is to the paint.. I just bought this rack I'm about to pick it up.. your telling me that for 200 they didn't add the strap to go under the hood?
Hello. Not all vehicles require the Hood Loop so it's sold separately. Many vehicles have tow hooks to connect the metal hook directly to the vehicle's underside without involving opening the hood or coming near the painted finish. Hope that helps. Thanks!
Hello. Thanks for the input. The three items described are configured for the specific vehicle and locks are sold separately in match sets in the quantity required for the individual user. It's all in an effort to make the products customizable for the user's specific vehicle and needs. Thanks!

I cant seem to get mine to fit level. It twists round slightly with the shape of the wing bar when i tighten it up?

Do i really need to hook back and front strap? Or will the crossbar strap be enough? Thanks

Does the locking system prevent someone with the same rack from using their tool to remove someone else’s rack?

I wonder if he'd make loading a 17ft touring kayak look so easy 😅
Definitely trickier, but the bars and pads help guide the kayaks along when they are longer 😊
Is it pronounced toolee or thool?
T-hu-le
can I put this on my 2020 Subaru Outback factory bar?
You sure can!
You can load two kayaks on it?
yes! You can adjust the J shape (110 degrees), to 90 degrees
But you didn't show how to install it...
Hello, thanks for commenting. We removed the carrier and reinstalled at: th-cam.com/video/WoazmRZ4Sco/w-d-xo.html hope that helps.
