yo SIIICK! I need to get one of these for winter so I can show off my new pair of Line Chronics ;)
|
nice um rack
|
and btw, this rack with the kayak and bike kills the mpg's with it on I only got 24.4 when I usually get 30 or so.

QUESTION!
I just ordered the yakima rack system. What are you using to hold the kayak on there? I'm looking at the dealer info lookup for the 2dr cobalt but it doesn't say anything about putting a kayak on there. |
well remember as long as you have the base q tower system, any yakima accessory works
|
Yep that's what I ordered. I just wasn't sure if it would be OK, because looking at the yakima dealer guide for the 2dr Cobalts it doesn't list much in the way of watersports. Only skis and bikes.

I have the J-cradles which work great! I think I can fit 3 kayaks on the rack if I use all J-cradles. but they have alot of options for kayaks and stuff.
My friend and I are probably going to go with the Perception 9.5, since it's on sale at EMS for $299. I plan on fitting both of them onto the roof of my car, lol. |
Yay for racks....yes mpg sucks...with 2 bikes on standup carriers, its surprisingly about the same as towing a jetski lol

Sweet, 2 will fit no problem with j-cradles! I got my kayak for 300 with paddle, its a Main stream streak
Do you guys leave the racks on the car when you're not using them, or do you take them off? Seems like the latter would be a pain in the balls. |

yes, Im leaving mine on for at least the summer. |
Mine comes off most of the time. Even just the base system knocks 3-4 mpg off when cruising 60+. Hate wasting gas...

I can't wait to see the mileage change after driving down the northway with two 50lb kayaks on the roof. lol
|
