Default Built a canoe, need a roll bar rack!

As the title says, I am looking for a rack that I can mount to my roll cage. Are there any options that are pretty quick to put on and take off? I really don't want to mount a permanent rack for the occasional trip. For now I'm just using towels and tie downs, but before I hit the interstate I'd like something more secure. Could you please post pic's of any solutions you have found?

Here's my completed project. This is the first one I designed and built all by myself.....I'm kind of proud of how it turned out.

Thanks guys! I've built strip kayaks from kits and plans before, but this one is my own design and I planed and shaped all the wood myself. Probably 150+ completely relaxing, enjoyable hours into this one.

herksrus,

That is a great canoe man! Really puts my Rogue River 14 footer to shame

I've been looking for a quick, non-permanent, solution to mount my canoe to my 2 door also. I know they make them for the TJ's but I've never seen them for the JK's. Does anyone know if the Olympic TJ roll bar rack will work on the JK?

I would think you could mount 4 small pieces of "L" channel (think raingutter above the doors on a car) to the sportcage and then you could pretty much use any Thule or Yakima rack set up that has "feet" that attach to raingutter style vehicles. The pieces would only have to be about 4" long.

Nice work on the canoe!!
