yea, sorry 'bout the resolution, i have the larger files... i think it would be easy to use bars or even 2x's laterally with ratched straps to lock down your gear. good luck! |

In case someone might give a rat's patoot, my friend took some pictures of my roof rack and sent them to me. The tires are secured by a bar going through the wheels and fastened to the cross bars by a chain and turnbuckle. note the foundation of the rack that covers a wide area of the froof. This gives great strength to the unit and keeps the top from cracking when a large weight gets bounced on a small area. I have several different through the wheel bars to use to secure different numbers of tires on the rack.

Here is the underside of teh roof. The mounts for the roof rack make a sandwhich with the roof in the middle. this does a great job of spreading the load.
