Posts with pictures & info about canoe specific racks for the Gladiator seem to be scattered all over different threads.
So thought it would be good to have one thread dedicated to showing the different set ups, and list the parts you all are using to get your canoe safely to your favorite paddling spot.
I'll start it off with some pix from last week's annual remote canoe camping trip to the wild & wooly parts of the UP of Michigan.
Going to figure out a better solution for the bow strap anchor points that will get the straps completely off the paint of the hood.
This set up did cause some abrasion, but luckily I already had 3M paint protection film on the leading edge of the hood & it did it's job well in keeping the paint from being damaged or rubbed through on this 1,000+ mile round trip.
Roof Rack: Single Yakima 66" Round Crossbar w/1A Raingutter Mount Towers
Hitch Rack: Spring Creek Mfg. Double Hitch Rack w/telescoping loading bars
Bow Strap Anchor Points: Spring Creek Mfg. Quick Hood/Trunk Loops
Straps: Yakima Rubber Covered Buckle Straps for the canoe hull, & NRS Loop End Straps for the bow & stabilizing straps of the hitch rack.
