4Runner and Boat

[cp99sr5]

I have a 13 foot aluminum boat on a trailer. I am in the process of building out a 6x4 camping trailer so now the dilemma is that I can't take the camping trailer and boat trailer at the same time. I was wondering if anyone has ever mounted a Eide Boat Loader to their 3rd Gen successfully or has a different way of taking the boat safely on the roof rack? I was thinking of mounting the boat loader to the trailer but would rather save the space for a roof top tent eventually. hwell:

Thanks - Chris

Never heard of the Eide boat loader before this, but damn, what a cool idea! My only advice would be to get some real load bars (Yakima, Thule, Etc.), do not use the factory crossbars for this type of duty.

I see them mostly on full size trucks and SUV's and even some jeeps but never on a 4Runner so I thought I would ask.
