I have the harbor freight one. PM for details

Harbor freight one has lasted me 3 years

Ive had the harbor freight for a few years as well. I added some advisory tape for early morning trips. Works fine for the kayak or lumber. Also look out for their coupons.

Will the hf allow me to transport a revo and outback? Thinking about attacking them on top of each other.

I'm constantly getting their 20% off coupons in the mail/online and sometimes they have 25% off as well (this Mother's Day for example)

You can print out the 25% Mother's Day coupon here: http://www.harborfreight.com/

Open this link and read the reviews from people that have used it..
Remember your only carrying a portion of the kayaks on the extender, not the entire weight

I have the hf bed extender. Pretty solid. Should do the job just fine with that pair of yaks you have. Put a pool noodle or some other type of protective material over the crossbar, duct tape that sucker up (or use some tuna cord if you're a perfectionist) and you'll be good to go.

I've been using one for about a year. Thin wall tube steel but plenty strong enough for two yaks. My only complaint is that I've scraped the back on pavement on big dips in the road, I think I'm going to cut the back off and weld it back together with an angle at the back corner.

Just FYI the coupon code is only valid from 5/10/15

Thanks guys.I'll prob end up picking this one up

spyakker · 05-08-2015, 10:30 PM

Ended up picking this up instead. Don't know the brand but it is pretty sturdy and came with a light. Can't go wrong for $35!!

There you go!
I've add some safety reflective tape to mine for increased visibility. It's such a simple and easy way to transport the kayaks. Be sure to lock it up or use a locking pin in the Hitch as these can get stolen.
