  • TMS J-Bar Rack worked fine for me
The media could not be loaded. I'm pleased with my purchase of two sets of these J-Bar racks so I could carry two kayaks on my Honda Odyssey, one on either side with a canoe in the middle. The J-Bars attached easily to the 78 inch-wide Thule bars I already had mounted to the factory roof rack. Although the canoe fit fine I ended up puting it on another car so I could put two extra bikes on top of the van. We traveled 5 hrs round trip to a mountain lake sometimes at highway speeds with no issues. Some other reviewers said these J-Bars were difficult to assemble and had poor or non-existent instructions. They came with just a piece of paper showing the parts and a diagram of how they fit together, but no step by step narrative. I thought the diagram was easy enough to understand but the "difficult" part was getting the bolt heads through the bottom black plastic part of the mount. The bolt heads are a tight fit in the plastic and the underside of the bolt heads have a square shape that fits into a square shape down inside the mount. I solved this by pushing the bolts in until the heads stopped at the plastic, then screwed on the self-locking nuts finger tight (they screw on a few turns before you need a wrench). Then I used pliers to grab the nut to pull the bolt through, while turning it until it seated in the square hole, then continued to turn the nut with the pliers while pulling so the bolt couldn't pop out of the square hole. Finished tightening nuts with a wrench. I also cut a small piece of wood to fit between the bars at the bottom, to hold them apart while assembling the bottom of the mount. The plastic is flexible and the wood helped stretch it a little to get the black metal plate in place. Other than getting those bolts in place, the assembly was easy. The J-Bars were priced right and decent quality. I would buy them again. Like other things I've purchased that were made in China that needed assembly, there can be a glitch or two but they work ok if you're careful, like the patio set I bought with propane fire pit...but that's another story! ... show more

  • great value rack
I was looking for a cheap kayak rack for local use and bought this one based on the reviews. I have to say that I'm really impressed and very happy with the purchase so far. It is great value for the money as long as you understand that you are buying a budget Chinese-made rack. As other reviewers have pointed out, the instructions are almost non-existent; however, it's pretty straightforward and anyone with basic skills with tools will have no problem with assembly. Some of the tolerances could have been better so I redrilled a couple of holes to make it easier, though that was not strictly necessary. Once assembled, it is quite sturdy and works well. I assume it is made out of steel, so I don't think I'd recommend leaving it on the car all season long for fear of rust; however, it's easy to attach to the car when you need it, and it appears that the mounting clamps would work on any roof rack crossbar (in my case, an '03 Outback). The inside surface of the clamp itself is painted metal so I cut up an old bike inner tube to protect the crossbar. I feel like I got a lot of rack for a small price -- it even came with a couple of cam straps -- I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • These are a great buy. Finish on the racks is not very ...
These are a great buy. Finish on the racks is not very good. There were scratches and nicks that will eventually rust so I would recommend taking them off and storing them inside when not in use. They are very sturdy and will work very well and that is what I wanted them for. If you want something pretty with a nice finish you will want to look at other options. After reading through a lot of the negatives posted by other people, it seemed like most of the complaints were assembly related. I work on all sorts of things so I knew I could get them together. I bought two sets of these. The first set was very easy to put together, no issues at all. I decided to time it and take some pics of the second set and give some assembly tips that may help someone else out. As luck would have it, the second set didn't go together as easily as the first set so I can see where some would say they were easy to put together and others would have a more difficult time with them. I started timing the assembly with a set that was still in a sealed box. Complete time was 24 minutes and 45 seconds. 7 minutes were spent unpacking and laying everything out on the table. I spent another 2 minutes taking pictures so the time spent actually putting the product together was just under 16 minutes for a complete set. Here are a few assembly tips: When you are sliding the first metal tube into the rubber molded part it helps to put something like a screwdriver handle into the middle of the molded rubber to help open it up for the ends of the metal tube to go in. Once you get that 1st half of metal tubing in go ahead and push the molded rubber on further than it needs to go. It is much easier to put the second half on without trying to push it into the rubber piece. Put the second half of tubing onto the first half. Now put the rounded end of the second half of metal tubing on your stomach and pull the plastic/rubber piece back over the assembled metal tube until the bolt holes line up with the holes in the molded rubber part. If you have to pull the rubber part hard you may want to put a hardback book or something between your stomach and the tube to distribute the force better. I didn't need to but there seems to be some variation in the parts from one set to the next. Put the four short bolts into the assembly in an x pattern and move the rubber part as needed to help you line everything up. Next, put in the two longer bolts. Do not install any of the nuts until you make sure you can get all of the bolts in where they belong. When installing the washers and nuts, make sure to put some pressure on the rounded end of the carriage bolts to help them drop into the square holes in the tubing that keep them from turning. If the carriage bolts are tuning while tightening the nuts, keep putting pressure on the rounded end of the bolt and it will eventually work its way into the right position, drop into the square hole in the tubing and stop turning so you can tighten up the nut. Tighten the nuts in an x pattern. Be careful not to over tighten, you don't want to crush the metal tubing. Honestly, if you have arthritis or weak hands you may want to look at other options to buy or find someone else to put them together for you. For the price, these will carry kayaks and make loading easier too. Very strong when assembled correctly. Great value! ... show more
