Here is the pictures with my j cradles on and then pictures with my kayak on it. I didn't get a chance to take it for a ride with the kayak but can say the j cradles themselves add very little road noise. I will get ya more information when I can. I'm looking for a new job right now so everything is up in the air for me.

Beautiful setup! The green apple color is perfect for an outdoorsy Venue. I never kayaked before, but it looks like tons of fun.

Kayak + Fishing = Good Time

That looks good.
I just wish they extended the roof rails a bit more to the rear so we have some leeway.
They probably shorten it a bit due to integrity and car antenna reasons.

Kayaking is a ton of fun and very relaxing, at least the type of kayaking I do. Lol. It's my unwind and empty my head time and enjoy the beautiful nature around me.

I love kayaking. We do more a relaxed kayaking so we just enjoy nature and the quiet. It's awesome. We've found done fun kayak spots. Plus the dog tends to enjoy it too.

Could be. I will say now doing this set up I need to invest in a kayak hoist. Lol. I'm a shorty and it was difficult to get up there alone. So that will be my next purchase.

Would you rather attach a bike rack to a hitch, or place it on the roof?

I'm thinking about getting a roof bike mount.

I actually bought a simple hitch set up so I can do a hitch bike rack

I actually bought a hitch to be able to use a hitch bike rack. I just haven't installed it yet.

I'd go with the roof mount. That way somebody could be riding the bike while you're driving it. Just watch for low bridges.

I'll take a better picture this week. I was in a rush. Bike rack costed me $45, and I purchased the crossbars in a separate transaction.

My buddies are planning to tow some ATVs, or dirt bikes to our cars. The venue has a 1.7k lbs. payload. However, it doesn't have a factory hitch.

Let me know how you got your hitch installed after installation. I don't know where to start.

That looks nice. I will probably be installing it with my sister. She has been looking at the instructions and watching some YouTube videos but I won't be installing mine for towing. So we won't be installing wiring and such, just the hitch.

But you reminded me I need to get with her to get that done. Life got crazy and I forgot about it. Lol

I read on some other hyundai forums that their warranty got voided due to a hitch installation.
I am not going to do it anymore. Also, I save thousands by not buying the ATVs/Dirt Bikes. LOL
