sorry for the delayed response.I’m extremely interested in this rack system. Just have a few questions.
1. In the video posted early in the thread of you going off-road with it, it appeared to have quite a bit of side to side motion. Just wondering about the stress that motion will have on the mounting points? Is it enough side to side motion to hit the soft top itself?
2. Have you attempted any mounting of J-Bar type kayak mounts? Most things I mount to my roof will appear to work with the rack system with the exception of my kayaks (2 of them). If I can for sure mount 2 kayaks I am 100% sold.
Ps: really loving the final look of the rack, really awesome job!
1. We fixed the rocking (it was due to some incomplete flange welds on the prototype). We’re also adding u-channel trims to decrease any possible rubbing.
2. This can definitely mount 2 kayaks. We built it with high load capacity (500 dynamic / 800 static) as a top priority. Since the basket flips upside down, you have a flat surface to mount onto directly (or a mount). We went with both square and round tubes to provide multiple options.
Let me know if you have any questions or check out www.raketdesigns.com. Thanks
