Re: [Paddlewise] How to mount racks on a Bronco?

    In addition to what has been suggested, I would recommend you put a
plate on
not only the outside, but the inside too.  Between the plates and the top
some people put a piece of an old tire.  That also helps with weight
distribution, and provides some shock absorption.
    If you are planning on carrying highly rockered boats, allow for the
curvature that will have the hull closer to the vehicle than it is at the
bars. Eg. a rockered boat, hauled upright will have its midships closer, and
if hauled upside down its ends may hit.
