Ive had this tent for 3 years now. I have an 80 series and its mounted up on top almost all the time. Ive got 2 kayaks now that I want to figure out the best way to carry.
Has anyone drilled the top of their tent roof and installed a couple bars on the top? Im thinking some big washers, seal it with silicone. Ive carried one kayak on the bare roof of the tent just fine but now with two im thinking that it may be sketchy laying them both on the top and strapping them down. I would just put 2 J kayak carries on the bars. Itll be tall as hell but I cant figure out a better way at the moment.
The other thought is installing two long bars on the underside of the roof rack (ARB style rack). Some solid thickness Steel Tubing, running across the underside. Then I could put the J kayak racks on each side of the roof rack. Will make it less vertically tall by a lot.
For the life of me, I cant find any examples where people have done this.
