Hey, Im unsure if i want to tackle this gear swap myself. i have set up a few chevy 14bff's and d60's but those were in trail only rigs where tolerances were not quite as big a factor as in something ill put thousands of miles on. eric@wheelindixie.com. ill take a quote though and maybe price just labor.
A little clarification, the Yakima landing pads attach right to the factory front to rear rails. And I use two straps, one on each bar to secure the boat. I have always attached the bow and stern line back to the roof rack but intend to start tying off to the vehicle bumpers instead to minimize the calamity of the roof rack dettaching itself from the vehicle.
Hey Howler, wow, sorry about the very late reply, I don't view this site very often and just now discovered the mail system. Anyway, for what it's worth to you now, I removed the factory cross rails and fitted Yakima landing pads with locking towers, 48" bars with a saddle on the front bar and a hulley roller on the rear bar. I have finessed a method of loading my 17" plastic Perception Sea Lion solo, secure it with the webbed friction strap and it works out fine. I'll be loading it all up again in two weeks for another trip paddling the Edisto River.
Sorry I for the LATE response... yeah, I would like to know what it would cost me... I think I'm leaning towards 4:88s.... and it is a 4WD.... let me know... thanks
