2006 Ford Fusion 4cyl auto. Car top it right now using the cheapo foam blocks and I bought tie straps for the hood/ trunk areas that mounted with existing bolts that I use to strap the yak down. Next purchase is goign to be an actual roof rack with an actual kayak carrier accesory. And later on down the road I plan I having a hidden hitch installed and getting a trailer.

Chevy S10 with my kayak STRIPER:  STRIPER is 15'X28". Custom cooler is loaded with ice packs on the way out. Ice packs plus fish on the way back. So balance is not a problem.

My rig is pretty modest, just a 05 Chevy Trailblazer and a trailer that I built from a Harbor Freight trailer that was given to me by RevTCF, not much but it gets the job done. hopefully the trailblazer will be replaced with a truck soon.

"Yak Rig" ...... Soon will have a matching trailer with matching wheels and tires and a Yakima load warrior rack on trailer with crossbars. That's a very nice 1st gen 4runner. +1 - those are great vehicles and looks like that one is in excellent shape. Nice truck Ninja - how many miles on it now? 230000 miles. But I gave her a new motor,tranny,transfercase, soon to have lift kit and 33's. she was in bad bad shape when I got her. Young kid had it and was trying to learn how to turn a wrench on it. Man he destroyed the electrical system in it. Thx for the compliments on the old "Yak Rig" guys.

Thanks Rob 03' F-150 super crew.
throw the ride 115 in the bed and I'm off.
shaun, I like that trailer....where did you get it? We sell them at Mariner Sails. Has anyone found a deal on the Yakima trailer? I like them a lot, but I don't know that I like them $2K worth. For now, it's car topping for me. I have only seen one for sale on the forums in the last year and a half. They seem to retain there value very well though. I had to save a year to get mine. But it was well worth the wait.
