I had a TopFive Rack on my TJ to carry my canoe, and intended to get another rack for my JK. But after looking at what is out there, and how much they cost, I decided to find another way to haul the canoe. I saw some of the other posts using the Yakima Dry Dock in the back. I liked the idea and just needed to figure out what to do about the front. After keeping an eye on Craigslist, I was able to pick up a new in box Dry Dock for $100. Taking a look at the way the cross bar mounted on the Dry Dock, I figured I could do the same thing up front. I picked up some 1" x 2" steel tube for under $10. Once I got them fit right, I found a place that powder coated them for $20. I already had the Yakima cross bars. It seem very stable, but I have only had it out to a few local lakes.

That's nice. I've been looking for a solution to hauling my canoe since I got rid of my pick-up. I like it.

The Yakima Dry Dock.

Arjflyr,

What are the details on the attachment? I was thinking of the same setup, but just a standard extend-a-bed in the back.

Do you have some neoprene to keep from scratching the paint at the mounting points?

Rubimon

Looks good. Do you leave it on all the time ofr just when hauling the canoe?

That looks great, I have a 16 ft wood/canvas boat that I'm deciding how to haul around...

Any pics of the back end?

Cheers.
