I bought these to transport a Hobie Oasis and a Hobie Outback on top of my F-150 cap. They work for what they are, but they were very stiff the first month. Would work better on a lower vehicle, the angle I'm using it at is too great, ( Truck is stock height 4x4 on an A.R.E. Cap )but haven't found anything else that would work as well.

OK. I wish the attachment strapps tightened more. The rollers slide on the Yakima bar.

PERFECT - made life so much easier! Had the J racks and they were very hard to load on top of a Tundra - Rollers work PERFECT!

Simple and effective. I mounted mine atop an Outdoorsman rack on my Toyota Tundra truck bedrails so its quite a bit higher than most other setups. Position the rollers tilted backwards 60 - 70 degerees with respect to the crossbar, ie not level, so that the front end of the kayak engages easily. Push the kayak upwards at 60-70 degrees first THEN lower the bow onto your Mako saddles or other front support.

I really like the Hully Rollers and the ease with which they make loading a kayak on a tall vehicle. However, this is my second set and I do wish Yakima would create a roller that does not deteriorate over time. No one wants to have to remove the rollers when they are not in use to prevent exposure to the sun and the elements.

The Yakima Hully Rollers are mounted on my trailer in tandem with a set of Mako Aero saddles. They work well on my Outback and make for easy loading and unloading. I will be picking up a Pro Angler this week and hopefully they will work equally as well.

Nice product but not really necessary for our application. Our Saturn wagon is low and with two people it is easy to just plop the boats on top. I even prefer to load alone by just doing the lift and place the entire boat straight onto the rack. The rollers do not catch the boat soon enough to protect the car in a one man slide it up technique. Dual pads would work just fine next time. But, when we flip the 97 Saturn wagon while drag recing on the weekends we hope that the rollers will keep us going straight.

These rollers are sweet! I have been using them for over a month now on my ocean fishing trips and what a dream. These rollers make my loading and unloading so easy. I would recommend them highly.

The Hully Rollers make loading my kayak on my Jeep Liberty a lot easier. And they keep the kayak steady, too. I recently made a 1300 mile trip from Carlsbad, NM to Moab, UT and back. I carried my kayak using a pair of Mako Saddles and Hully Rollers. Whether driving 75 mph into a 20 - 30 mph wind on Westbound I40 or doing 70 with a strong side wind on US 285, the kayak never budged. I could look through the sunroof see how stable it was. Great products.

As always Yakima makes a solid product - but if you have a square backed SUV, particularly a tall one, these won't help much. You can't get the roller close enough to the back to engage - so you wind up leaning on the paint job and don't get the roller involved until you are 4 to 5 ft off the ground in the back.
