kayak rack / mp3 player

ok two questions tonight

i am looking for a bad ass kayak rack. something that is not just a straight bar , any ideas?

also im looking for the best interface for an mp3 player. i want one i can control tunes from my steering wheel / stereo controls not having to change songs from the mp3 player itself. thanks

 

What mp3 player do you have?

We'd need to know what MP3 player you're using to know whether or not the interface will work/or not.

If you have an ipod - there's several options.

 

Yeah, that's a good one. Yakima also has the equivalent "HullRaiser" that is virtually the same thing and what I use. However, with a lift on the truck you might want to look at the Thule Hullavator which allows you to mount on the side and it lifts the boat up and on top.

Check out Trac rack, I just got mine yesterday. I'll finish putting together tonight, looks sweet, easy on/off rated for 500lbs. I like it.

 

Forgive my ignorance , are these Thule rack feet a no-drill mount ? I didn't see anything on their website that show exactly how they mount to the roof .

 

Dude. Seriously. Did you have to ask the same question on every single thread that ever mentioned a kayak rack?

 

This is my experience as well. For the past 3 yrs I have used a thule rack as well with J hulls on my DC. The kayaks ride nicely up there. You can put another boat in between & carry 3 as well on top too. My side steps work great on securing the straps. Totally happy with this system. Pics are in my gallery.

Just watch out for bank ATM drive thrus & neighborhood basketball hoops lined up on the street.

The hullavator is nice too but doesn't allow the use of a fairing. A co-worker had one on their FJ and was practically giving it away for they went to a full size truck. I was tempted until I found out my fairing would interfere. Maybe that has changed?
