I'm glad this came up I'm looking for some ideas on a rack system myself since I broke the aluminum ladder rack I am still using. As for securing the kayaks (and racks) I use a Masterlock Python. Mine is 25' long and secures my x13 in the rack and a mini-x in the bed simple to do since the cable slides right through the scupper holes and the tie down point in the bed of my ford truck and yes my yak has been going everywhere I go most of this year since I got it in April of this year. I try to get out twice a week so not much point in taking it down. Thanks for the ideas guys! I'm thinking something similar with roof rack on the cab and a goal post for in the back so I can really load up the gear when its time to go camping! Although I wonder if the goal post coould be modified to accept a hitch mount bike rack?
Thanks again guys gotta luv this web site.
