Friend 'n High Sheriff,
Back when I had a reglar cab pickup, it wuz eazy. I raised the rear rack (crossbar) bout 6" higher than the front rack (crossbar) so the canoe dont catch the wind. The front a the canoe come down in front a the windshield. It rode mitey good 70-75 miles per hour....big winds 'n big trucks.
When ya git a long cab pickup, ya gotta raise both yer racks (crossbars) cuz the rocker iz gwine ta come down on yer roof. [It puts a deep gash 'n a dent in yer roof if ya aint careful. :cry:]
The only way I kin change my racks iz ta git Chris ta build me a new one. Next time its 1" angle iron. I got one 1 1/2" angle iron, but 1" does jest fine.....3/4" likely would do okay, but my eyebrows went up when I seen how lite it wuz.
I'll raise the both crossbars bout 6" next time. That way I kin load my canoes myownself....even that big red super tanker, but I dont plan ta use it next flatwater paddle.
I may show Chris them pvc pichurs. He laid my water lines on the west 40, so he kin pvc. It would be mitey good if it wuz a way ta make 'em so they would adjust fer Chevy 'er Toyota.
If "we the people" vote fer me in '08 ('n the Florida folks git confused agin), I reckon the Secretive Service law will be totin' all my boats. I reckon they'd have ta run a Federal Bureaucrat check up on ya'll.....jest ta make sure it aint no law breakers in the group. Hmmm....I reckon Mac best not at use hiz reglar name. How bout "Jack Duvall"? I always liked that one.
Ya reckon I understood what ya wuz tryin' ta tell me bout the racks? :mrgreen:
regards,
