: Here's my receiver mounted set-up.

: Adjustable for height and can take any configuration of crossbar you care to
: make. Front bar is an old wooden one with suction cup feet. Same benefits.
: It can easily be modified to take any cradles or safety blocks you might
: need.
: I chose this design because I wanted to keep my tonneau cover buttoned up.
: It's the only place I have to conceal paddles and other bulky gear.

I made one like that years ago made up of welded 1" square steel, brother in law still uses it, it's like 30 years old now.

I used the reciever mount from Draw-tite designed for a bike rack, as I remember it was pretty cheap, like $10.
