Pictures of loaded roof racks?!

[redkaz04]

Does anyone ever actually LOAD their roof racks down? I see all these pictures of fancy roof racks and they are empty. All kidding aside, I think it would be neat to start a thread to show what you guys use your racks for--

Any creative attachments, gear, tents, boat etc....

Mine gets used quite a bit. On normal weekends to the coast I strap down 2 10'x10' canopies, 4-6 folding chairs, a 6' foot folding table, a tent, a crap trap, some sand tracks, and various other things I am comfortable having on the roof. I don't have any fancy systems just use regular old ratchet straps and that works pretty well. I was a little surprised to look in my phone and not see a picture of it loaded up.

But whenever we get where we are going and get unloaded, it becomes the kids lookout deck for the rest of the time until we pack up again.

I'd like to see how everyone is mounting their canoes and kayaks.

This time had a 12x20 carport canopy w/ 4 wheel barrow loads of firewood.
Figured weather report said this might happen, Came prepared.

The pictures are in reverse of the trip but I kept carrying more and more of my buddy's crap including his bumper when he tore it off. I don't have a pic of my kayaks at the moment.

Only things I've had on mine are my kayak and myself so far. Love it. Perfect length for me to sleep up there too, if I would choose to do so for whatever reason.

That carport canopy is an amazing idea for when the weatherman says it will snow. Noted!

Where did you find that foam for your rack?

I don't know about him, but we used to buy those cheap pool noodles and cut them down to size. Lasted a pretty long time too, they held up better in the sun than they do in the chlorine.

I mostly use my roof rack to haul kayaks. I built a pair of mounts that bolt to the roof rack and can hold 3 kayaks.

Although my son uses the roof rack for this:

What I originally bought it for was the RTT and lightbar, and what it is usually is used for vantage point for photos or star gazing with other friends/family.

Nice. I love the creative ideas and the multiple uses. Let's keep it going--

TTT... 458 view and only 6 loaded roof rack.:suspicious:


:worthless

Went exploring down by the river last night and sat on my rack watching the fish jump. No pictures since I only had my phone and it doesn't do well in the dark at all. Still loving my rack though. I agree with Wadle, it would definitely be a good place to take pictures from.

I am about to order a roof rack and it will be loaded to go to Death Valley at the end of the month!
