Midwest troutbum Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 The two straps on the sides just keeps that rack from wobbling back and forth...pretty poorly designed. But you can't beat free...thanks KC! It's better than nothing, and keeps a lot of the pressure off the roof. The third strap down the middle holds the canoe to the rack. Two more straps in front to the tow hooks. Rock solid. Ron's canoe is a beauty. I'd be too worried about damaging it to use it. I like plastic bathtubs that I don't think twice about beating the hell out of. Remember this one? Whatever works! LOL The class III trailer hitch receiver extender is available at Harbor Freight..... It works well hauling 16' lumber, has height adjustments and has attachment loops for rope or bungie cords. Not as professional or protective as a Thule or roof rack, but will certainly get the job done for the shorter trips, and easier to load/unload.

KCRIVERRAT Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 That hitch extender served me well when I hauled my canoe out to western Colorado a couple of years ago. HUMAN RELATIONS MANAGER @ OZARK FISHING EXPEDITIONS
