KAYAK CARRIERS & BASKETS
for VEHICLES

The Kayak Basket is universal and has different options to fit nearly any vehicle with any crossbars (Extruded Aluminum, Aero style, Square, Oversize, or EXR Click-in xbars)

​

8-00-9845 - basket only (ideal for existing roof rack platforms with extruded aluminum channels).

8-00-9845-AR - basket + 8-00-9846 (brackets + SS hardware + straps), ideal for thinner / aero style crossbars - common on most vehicles that came with crossbars from the dealer.

8-00-9845-SQ - basket + 8-00-9847 (brackets + SS hardware + straps), ideal for square crossbars - such as all EXR crossbars both Solid and Click-in.

8-00-9845-LG - basket + 8-00-9848 (brackets + SS hardware + hardware + straps), ideal for large, oversize crossbars, such as some truck bed frames and crossbars.

8-00-9845-CK - basket + 8-00-9849 (Click-in brackets + SS hardware + straps), our top package - AWESOME for use with EXR click-in crossbars - entire basket will literally click in and out with a simple press of the push pin - best for low garage parking, car washes, weekend warriors who don't want to drive around with the basket on all the time.

​

The Side Load function and additional storage UNDER the kayak (for wet gear such as life jackets, wet suits, etc.) sets the Kayak Basket apart from any other kayak rooftop solution.  

It is SIMPLE.  INNOVATIVE.  MADE IN AMERICA.

​​

When not being used as a Kayak Carrier, the basket works very for extra storage on top the vehicle.

 

Up to two Kayak Baskets can be mounted side by side on top the vehicle. 

 

The basket allows for additional items to be mounted, such as:

• Lifejackets under Kayak

• Kayak seats under Kayak

• Wetsuits under SUP / Surfboards

• Paddle holders

• Fishing Rod holders

• MOLLE panel

• Awning brackets

• Stand up Paddle Boards (SUP)

• Small Kayaks

• Medium Kayaks

• Large Fishing Kayaks

​​

The Kayak Basket is heavy duty, electrocoated / powder coated and 100% Made in America.  It ships from Pennsylvania (where it is made).  When you see and review the product for yourself you will absolutely confirm how strong and solid it is! 

​​

Optional Foam (included) can be used if desired.  

​

Both the Kayak Basket and Center/Offset Mounts use EXR's tried, tested, and true tie down method.  Adapted from US Olympic rowing team's method of tying down $50k+ rowing shells for long hauls across the country.  EXR uses the highest quality, marine grade, straps which are durable, mildew resistant, and pull nice and tight.

​​

--------------

Y mounts and J mounts are specific to EXR Click-in crossbars and use EXR's patented Click-in system. 

​

The 'Y' Kayak Mounts (Carriers) and the 'J' Kayak Mounts (Carriers) come as a "Center" or an "Offset" to allow for better locations and configurations of the kayak on the rooftop depending on which crossbars fit any given vehicle.  

​

The Y mounts are our first kayak solution launch and have exceptional success and praise for nearly 10 years.  These just work ridiculously well! 

​
