I need a roof rack to carry a kayak every now and then. I don't want anything that requires drilling. Any experience with this Ebay Roof Rack, or would I be better off to spend a little more for Yakima or Thule? Mostly going to only be carrying it about 3-10 miles with maybe an occasional 50 mile trip.

I can’t comment on it’s usefulness for transporting kayaks, but what’s pictured in that listing is an EXACT replica of the Mopar roof bars. Maybe a cheap knockoff, maybe the same equipment as OEM without the Jeep logo. I have the Mopar ones and they work well.

That's what I was thinking is that it's a Chinese rip on the Mopar.

It’s also completely possible that the Mopar ones are made in China on the same production lines in the same factory as these, only these found their way off the truck heading to FCA and instead are here on eBay for sale. There’s not much to them, metal bars with attachment brackets. Yakima lock cores should fit these, they fit the Mopar.

Did you end up buying the eBay ones?

Bought Hooke Road on Amazon and returned it. It covered the freedom panels and wouldn’t go behind them so you couldn’t use them and the rack.
