peter
has anyone any suggestions on how to put a 3.4m tinny on a twin cab rodeo ute?
the ute back is 1500 long so some support is needed from the cab roof and as the ute back flex's independently of the cab i am worried about roof damage.
hoping for a solution.

Peter I waited to see if you got any answers as I am interested as
well. I have a 3.5m dinghy that I want to carry on a Hilux dual cab. I am going to support the dinghy at the 1.5m points as I believe that the gunwale extrusion is quite strong and should support the dinghy but time will tell. I saw a rodeo with a dinghy secured from the tray to the cab effectively making the cab and tray one unit but he was only travelling on sealed roads so he didn't have any problems but off road would be a different matter. I have just seen a setup with a rack built right across the back and half of the roof supported on the back but this setup was horrendously heavy but on the upside the setup has been to
cape york and back with no problems.
Let me know if you have any better ideas.
