Being vertically challenged and having a lifted truck, I came with this. Worked pretty well, and was cheap!  Testing stability.  Success! And I didn't get a hernia.

I've thought about doing something like that before. Nice!

Cool deal.
But what the heck is that white thing on the back of your Cuda?

Does the hatch lift it? Or do you just use those wing things of pvc to push on?

But what the heck is that white thing on the back of your Cuda? Looks like something issued from the city of Euless. So, this is a ramp to slide the yak to your bars or does it lift it? It appears to be suction cupped to the window? Anything to make it easier and save damage to yak and yourself is good.

I built one of these (in the link) using the same suction cups as the OP but used pvc pipe for the frame. It works great and it's compact. I'm old and have a bad back, and I couldn't load my Ride 135 onto the top of my Grand Cherokee without it. You do what you gotta do!  http://www.amagansettbeachco.com/indexrl.asp?Type=RL
