A canoe on top of a VX ?

[dkmiller68]

I am considering adding a front receiver to the VX so as to use 2 ladder racks (shaped like football goalposts) to haul a long ladder for my business.

I definitely think it could be done. I am not sure if Yakima or Thule makes any attachments that hold a canoe or not, but I am pretty sure there are kayak holders, so more than likely, there is some option out there. If you find it, let us know. A canoe is on my wish list for this summer.

I've carried an 18' fiberglas kayak on my VX quite a few times. I got the Yakima horizontal wing mounts plus some 'Hully Rollers' (hull-shaped attachments) to add to my stock rack. I tie off the front with a rope attached to the tow hook.

This is what I did.. I drove it probably 2-3 hours, windy roads.. this worked fine...

It wasn't a problem for us this summer. We drove from Southern IL. to Black River Falls, WI. without any problems. (Except for the hunk of rubber that bounced up off of the road from a semi, into the canoe and then back down through my sunroof on the way back home.) I used ratchet straps at the mid-section and tied off the nose to my pushbar that I got from Tone. No worries!

I'd post a picture, but I seem to be having trouble with that for some reason.

Here's a possible solution...

Yeah, no problem. I put my canoe up there all the time.
Peace.

I like how many VX owners have a canoe. A canoe!??? I've never in my life known anyone with a canoe...and I live in a pretty wet place. Bart, what are you gonna do with a friggin canoe in the desert? Think I need a snowmobile
