Some good ideas; thanks Posted by: sternsquirt on Sep-28-12 6:16 PM (EST)
I think I've got it figured out. Should be building it right now, but wanted to check in here first. I've got a tow tier wood rack that hangs from the ceiling in my 12 x 25 garage. The upper tier holds trim molding, the lower tier holds 11 kayak paddles. I'll take it down, rebuild it beefy-er, adios the trim molding, and put the spare Thule there. Anyone want a good deal on random lengths of prefinished hemlock 5 1/4 OG base trim? Oh, and we do paddle 12 months a year. I only take the roof racks off the van if I'm going on an overlanding trip in it and know roof clearence may be an issue in the forest. I rarely keep the racks on the other vehicles, though.
