I recently bought my TJ with a selling point to the wife we could use it to carry our kayaks. Does anyone else use their TJ as a man-powered watercraft carrier? Let's see some pics.
Google, powerful tool, lol

Got one of these for the truck and jeep. Not tried on the jeep yet, can mount upright too.

I really like that swivel ideaThat is how I got the idea for my set up. Hubby made mine though. The T part on mine swivels so I can load my kayak easier.

Did the truckers hitches not put too much downward pressure on the hardtop? I know when you fit cross bars they have to go a specific distance in from the edge where hard top its the strongest.Howdy All

I plan on just tying mine right to my roll bars with the top down at first, but eventually I might want to get one of these and a lightbar so I can keep the top on. I'm worried about putting the kayak directly on top of the soft topGot one of these for the truck and jeep. Not tried on the jeep yet, can mount upright too.
