: Hi,

: Given the length of time your kayak will be aboard a relatively
: stiff 4x4, I would construct molded supports to bolt onto your
: racks. There are numerous ways to do it and materials to use,
: but plywood blocks cut to shape and padded with minicell or
: other foam work well and are relatively easy to construct. In
: any case, having molded and padded supports will be easier on
: your boat than non-fitted supports.

: Good luck,

: Allan Edie

Might looks at Ross Leidy's site for details on making the supports.
