: If you do use J racks or anything else to mount to the top of an
: auto, make sure you use a bow and stern line to secure the
: extreme ends of your long sea kayaks. A lot of people went
: without them and will never do it again.

I began experimenting over 45 years ago with never tying down the bow / stern of my kayaks.
The result so far has been none of my 40+ kayaks lost. ... Your results may vary :)

The experiment continues !
