Kayak Rack

pfd53 · 01-23-2008, 01:07 PM

Anyone have any info on a good rack for hauling around a kayak on a Wrangler? I would like to get a kayak for this summer but having hard time finding a good set up for hauling the thing around. Any help would be appreciated!

I have tried but looksl like the only option is to just get a roof rack from one of the maunfacturers and adapt it for a kayak with maybe some thule or yakima bars and cradles.

I installed a windshield hinge mounted lightbar on my 99 Sahara and had a local trailer builder fab a t-bar that would slide into the 2" rear receiver. The kayak would then sit on the t-bar and lightbar and could be strapped on very securely and put no weight or strain on the Jeep soft top. Worked well with two kayaks. With my 04 Rubicon, I use the t-bar in the receiver on my Body Armor front bumper and lay the kayak across the hard top and t-bar.
