Hi,
Is anyone currently carting around kayaks in their ve/vf utes ? if so how are you going about it ?
I recently purchased /installed a sports bar to lean the kayak up against to transport locally, but i would like to do a few longer trips and keep all my baggage/equipment dry and out of sight underneath the tonneau cover plus still take the kayak.
Im thinking a rear ladder rack might be needed ?
But then the sports bar nearly sits flush with the roof of the ute, in which i don't want the kayak rubbing on the roof. So a smaller bar sitting on top of the sports bar may be required to lift the kayak up a bit.
Could i use kayak holders / cradles, the same ones that mount to roof racks on the sports bar / ladder rack ?
Any ideas / suggestions would be helpful. :idea3:
Cheers.
