Check out the video below. DIY Kayak Rack & Truck Bed Extender. Oct 15, �� I have a Honda Ridgeline with no hitch or roof rack. I got into kayaking and canoeing this summer and have a Mad River Adventure 16 canoe. The thing weighs almost 80 lbs! I looked at Yakima, Thule, and even the Honda factory rack, but it�s a leased vehicle, and I don�t want to put better than $ into a rack I lose in 2 years. I also didn�t like the pads used in the roof topper kits.

I measured and cut 1" cross bars with 1"x1" elbows glued to the ends, and installed about 8" of pipe insulation only in the center.

Once I put the thing on the roof, with no tie down necessary, I rest the bow of the canoe on the back cross bar, and then slide it up into position. The gunwales have no resistance on the pvc, so sliding it is easy. The weight bends the cross bars so that the center rests on the roof the reason for 8" length of pipe insulation in the center.

Then secure bow and stern ropes and the whole thing takes 5 minutes. Hitch and a trailer I would mess with rigging all kinds of crap to the truck. Put a hitch on it. At end of lease take it off and sell it.

This rack worked great! Some tips: When drilling the holes for the carriage bolts, 2 bolts angled across the board is stronger than just one, less subject to cracking the wood as well see images Depending on whether you want to carry two canoes you may want to angle the vertical posts in for some extra strength and reduced cost.
