Hi Samuel. I used to own a Jeep Wrangler. You do need to put a rack on it to carry kayaks. In fact, if you have the hard top, you have to put fake rain gutters on the back. Jeep does not recommend this, but it worked fine for me. If you do not have the hard top things get even more interesting. The Jeep Wrangler is a nice vehicle if you want to drive off road, but they were not designed to be good commuter vehicles. The aerodynamics are about the same as a billboard, my Wrangler with a 4 cylinder 5 speed got 18 miles per gallon. The visibility is great, though, and they are a dream to park. They hold their value well, and there is a certain air about them that is just plain fun. If you do get one you will soon notice that other Wrangler owners wave to you as you go by, you will be a member of the secret society of Wrangler owners. Enjoy the ride. Mike Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
