Kayak Racks?

Got a kayak, FS128T. Need to put it on top the FJ cruiser.
Thinking about doing the Thule 883 with a set of Hully rollers on the back bar of the roof rack.
Think this will work? Im trying not to spend $500+ on a freaking kayak rack.

If theres one thing I've learned about kayaks and kayak fishing, it's that you would think things would be cheaper than they actually are.

Go to fjcruisersforum.com
Do a search, there are plenty of threads for this.
Eta: pics of your FJ would be nice

I use the Yakima sweetrolls and purchased a basket from Yakima as well. The basket fit in between the rolls. I can load my 85# cuda 14 by myself. Just set the front on the rollers then walk to the back, lift and roll into place.
I looked long and hard at Thule and Yakima before making a decision. I'm happy with what I ended up buying.
Took my first dip in the yak today. Loaded my 4 yo some on the back atop my ice chest. He was moving around and I was compensating for his movement pretty well 'til some jet skis came by. We flipped but I was able to save the ice chest, my paddle, the yak and my son. Luckily we were only about 50 yards from my BIL's camp and I was able to swim everything/everyone back to his dock.
Be careful out there guys.

I use a Yakima rack with Mako Aero saddles. On my FJ. Slide the kayak up from the back. Existing FJ crossbars not strong enough to hold kayak.

Buy a better roof rack for your FJ. Baka rack makes one that fits.
