Just bought a new 270 Raider. It has a huge roof with two rails running the length of the roof. I want to be able to carry kayaks on the roof and would love to set it up to carry other gear too - prawn traps, crab traps, etc.
I got a kayak rack set up from Thule but the cross rails are not long enough to span the width of the roof between the rails and the dealer advises that they don't make cross rails any longer. Anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed? Seems like I should get a custom rack fabricated for it? Can anyone share pictures of what they have done.
And if custom is the way to go, can you recommend a company that does custom fabrication on the South Island that may have some experience?
