The next accessory i made for the roof rack was a kayak rack.
Making a roof rack.
There are a variety of kayak roof racks on the market everything from j cradles stackers and saddle racks.
I decided to make a saddle type kayak roof rack.
Ensure that the roof rack is in position and properly adjusted leaving good space at the centre.
An important decision can be choosing between steel aluminum and wood.
If you have factory roof racks that run from front to back you can build your own steel crossmembers using one inch square tubing cut to size and secured to the factory racks using carriage bolts.
However steel and aluminum are more durable and stronger so they will last you a lot longer.
Avoid drilling too deep into the roof of the car.
Wood can be the least expensive option to go if you re on a budget.
