I want to use my e4 to take our kayaks down to the water (not far, but we have several).

I have debated a malone micro trailer but then I need to figure out a hitch. Also, my e4 has the tilting bed in back. I am wondering if I can just have a dual kayak strap on rack on top if I use the crossbars as supports.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi, I have seen in the past at one of the Gem accessories dealers a square metal roof rack on a Gem. Strap the kayaks to it and go. Just an idea. Barry, Chico, Ca
