Rack options for a fiberglass truck cap? - Canoetripping.net Forums
2020年2月14日 — With racks mounted to the cap, at least with a low-rise cap at the same level as the cab roof, there may be issues with the bow of the canoe resting on the cab roof. One solution is to put the canoe on positioned far forward, so the bow tip is out past the windshield. That solution is a no-go for me. For one thing I want the canoe more centered ...
How to transport canoe with my toppered pickup
2024年6月20日 — MyKneesHurt said: I carried a canoe on a topped truck for years with just four foam pads and two bolt-on webbing loops under the hood. Hooked bow and stern handholds to those loops up front and into voids on the rear bumper. I was carrying a 15-foot canoe. I also carried my canoe on my cap with simple foam blocks.
best truck cap tie down method | Canoetripping.net Forums
2013年12月29日 — I think it is important to center the canoe over the rack, not over the vehicle. In places like Wyoming there is a lot of wind, and lots of semis on the road. Front and rear tie downs are very important. I set a canoe on top of my truck once in Wyo and the wind blew it off and it hit the ground before I had a chance to secure it.
Pickup Truck and Fifth Wheel - Front Receiver Rack
2022年10月5日 — Go to etrailer.com and input you truck information and they will have several front receivers, the also offer roof rack and goal post for you truck.

How to carry canoe on F150 Supercrew short bed with trailer?
2014年10月6日 — This is how I carried a 34' woodstrip voyageur canoe that I raced for several years with my dad's 1984 F250 that I inherited from him. I built the bed and front bumper supports. Having a sturdy steel front bumper was critical to the front mount. I could move the canoe farther forward to clear a trailer if I had one.

2014年4月4日 — I mounted the first TPS welded aluminum roof rack system on the 2007 Element I gave to my wife. It significantly increased the bar spread over the stock system and had rubber inserts on top so we can load SUPs and canoes upside down or add standard kayak saddles .I posted a lot of photos of this system on the Honda Element owners forum Including my wife loading our 20 foot tandem kayak on it
DIY Canoe Storage Rack | Canoetripping.net Forums
2013年3月19日 — The new 4 by 4 posts to expand it to a 14 boat rack were concreted in the ground early the next morning. Most of that rack, except the new 4 x 4 posts, is made of scrap pressure treated that was taken off decks I built or replaced. The only photos I currently have. A side edge view of that rack.

Canoe Theft While Traveling | Canoetripping.net Forums
2018年5月6日 — I use a long vinyl coated steel cable and bicycle U-lock. Loop the cable around the truck’s receiver and bumper and through the end loop, up the T-bar rack, around the carry handle and a thwart, then lock the end loop to the cable (capturing the thwart and handle) and to the top of the T-bar to keep the U-lock from flopping around.

2012年10月24日 — My Odyssey has a tow eye/jack point right in the center about a foot back. The picture below shows it. I use this position by itself for my 16 ft canoe, really just as an emergency line. The 18ft canoe needs the side straps. Those are …
Straps Break? | Canoetripping.net Forums
2024年4月30日 — Front and rear tie-downs are important because even if the belly straps/ropes never break, the rack towers can come loose or fail for a variety of reasons. One of my rain gutter towers on my old van just got flattened by a falling tree. I haven't yet determined whether it's permanently damaged or not. The van has been dormant for over a year.
