I know people say you are supposed to, but I never have and I have roof topped a Hobie Pro Angler 17T on a 6 hour trip with just the middle 2 straps around the bars on this rack.
Who makes that bungee net system and where can I buy it? Thanks for the great video, I'll be doing the same setup (Yak-Decked) in the near future for my rig...
Tacoma Bungee Net (which is the one I have) amzn.to/3S3ZwL6 It says it’s for a Tacoma but it definitely fit the tundra snuggly, which isn’t a bad thing.
I’m sure it can be done. It may not be easy depending on the trailer but it is definitely possible. The plates are L shaped because they hang over the bed rails, but if you could line that up with the trailer frame I’m sure it’ll work.
Do you find it necessary to use cradles on your crossbars for the AP 120? I've loaded my previous feelfree straight to the Yakima crossbar with Yakima pads and had no issues going 80mph on the freeway. Picking up my AP 120 this weekend and have been wondering if cradles were needed.
Just installed this ladder rack a month ago. Haven't transported a kayak yet. But will be in 2 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me not to forget hood tie down and trailer hitch tie down. Ugh I don't really want to.... But do you?
I Never have, I know people do. I just use 2 cam straps and I’ve been on trips up to 8 hours with no issues. I just tie a knot in the cam strap tag end after it’s tight, so that it can’t loosen up.
