I should have mentioned that both of my PU/canopy/rack setups had the rear rack _all_ the way aft, with the supports just an inch or two forward of the roof break. This no doubt contributed to the favorable experience I had. I placed them there not because I was worried about the effects of lateral movement, but so I could easily slide yaks onto racks from the rear (via Hullies). -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
