Can't help with the roof rack, don't have one. As for wheels. Get some with balloon type wheels. Much easier in the sand. Also stay away from the kind that goes thru your scuppers. They are the weakest part of your yak and may crack the scuppers. My 2 cents worth.

Rack depends on your vehicle. Transporting your yak upside down is the most stable and efficient method. Straight bars w/pads works best as long as vehicle is wide enough for the number of yaks you intend to put on it. Avoid cradles, rollers and such if possible for your situation.

If you have the side rails on the rav 4 already, Thule makes a system that just clamps the cross bars right onto your existing side rails. Super easy. OEX has all the Thule stuff in stock, plus three different wheel carts, including the big inflatable sand tires.
