I can't find a real canoe rack for the factory rack crossbars on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee. I don't want to use the lame foam blocks. I tried those and they dont work well and are even harder to get it all set up. I just want a cheap canoe rack that'll mount directly to the crossbars and carry the canoe solidly by the gunnels (i.e. the canoe flipped upside down). The Thule Rack and Yakima Rack canoe carriers are sweet but they dont connect to the factory rack and i dont want to hve to shell out a bunch of extra money to buy a whole now base rack system for the Jeep Cherokee just to install the canoe brackets. Does anyone know of another company that has a canoe rack for factory racks and aren't the foam block canoe carrier kind.
malone bigfoot canoe carrier is a very good cheap canoe rack for factory racks
The Malone BigFoot canoe rack is just what you are looking for! Mounts directly to the factory rack crossbars on your Cherokee. It is the only four point L-bracket gunnel system that mounts directly to factory rack bars. A very solid and inexpensive canoe rack solution that eliminates any side to side shifting etc. Bottom line is you wont find a better cheap canoe rack and it blows the foam blocks canoe carrier systems out of the water.
