My wife has a Yakima rack on the top of her Explorer, but it's a replacement for the factory rack. Just looking at the vehicle I would find it difficult to draw any conclusions as to how often the rack is used (about a half dozen times in the last month), or how far it's used for commuting everyday (about 80 miles a day). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed May 10 2000 - 10:10:51 PDT
