That's what I figured I was going to have to do with mine. I e only had my JK for a month and my XJ and Tahoe had roof racks and I made a drop on to fit them, but right now I'm looking at maybe a trailer build to haul around my Drifter.
Looks like the Texas coast in your pic? You on TKF?

 

X2 But for me i have to fit 4 ww kayak

i plane to fit it with 3 yakima bar with 2 kayak in the front and 2 kayak in the back

I hope that will fit i am supose to order my congo cage in 3 week ( i hope )

 

Here's mine

 

Here is my Kayak set-up. Cango rack and Yakima rack..........

 

My set up I posted in another thread as well. Kargo master with Yakima accessories. For anyone having issues hoisting a kayak up, check out the yakima Showboat. It's a great boat loader.

 

Anyone know if this works on a 2D-JK 2013 Hardtop?

It almost seems to me that the 2010 hardtop has smaller windows than the 2011-2013 model hardtops?

Am I right?

Edit: Plus the look is really badass! - And it's a good handle to put on and remove the hardtop.

 

Do you find it hard switching tops with that congo cage?

Do you need to disassemble the whole cage to switch your top?

Thanks!

 

I currently just have the hardtop. I would assume you would have to remove the rack to do a full switch? If anyone has done this please comment. Looking at the rack though seems to be fairly easy to remove the hardtop without taking the rack off. With a helper of course.

 

Just strap it to the top

 

Another vote for just strapping it to the top. I've gone hundreds of miles with multiple kayaks loaded using foam blocks and ratchet straps from Wal-Mart.

Total investment: $30.

Here is my JKUS two weeks ago with the top down. 400+ miles at speeds over 80mph with absolutely no issues or movement whatsoever. 12' yak strapped on top with blocks and straps, 9' yak simply thrown in the back with the rear seat folded down.


Here is my buddy's JKUR with both of our 9' yaks strapped to his hardtop using the same foam blocks and straps a few weeks prior... again, no issues whatsoever, and we were even short one foam block!
