Subject: Mounting a canoe on roof rack Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:08 pm
I have the OEM roof rack on my FJ and am looking for advice and input for carrying my canoe. I am looking at the Yakima stuff as I broke one of the stock cross bars carrying my canoe. Does Yakima make a dedicated or universal cross bar for the OEM rack?
Looking forward to your input and help as I found this forum while searching online and what better place to ask than the folks that love the FJ as much as I do. I am anxious to get to know you all and to support the community!

Hey Golfer, I've got four spare OEM crossbars for sale, which would give you a ton of support for a canoe. I'm selling all four for $75 and I live in Charlotte too! Gimme a call or text at 336-406-6250
