Roof rack carrier bar with suction cup and extending loading bars

Product Description

Carrier bar with 2 loading bars for carrying canoes, kayaks, boats, ladders on the roof of car or truck. For same thing at lower price without loading bars see item 5111. You don't need loading bars on both of your racks unless you are going to use them as rack extensions for carrying wide loads, so most people can buy one rack with loading bars (this item) and one without (item 5111) and save money.

Extremely high quality - very strong, rust proof aluminum and stainless steel with padded tops, straps, slide-out extensions ("loading bars")for easy loading and wide loads. VIDEO CLICK HERE.
