Milkcrate kayak cart

Built myself a kayak cart out of a milkcrate on the cheap. consists of: a threaded steel rod, 2 pneumatic tires from harbor freight, a milkcrate, 2 pvc endcaps with 5/8" premade holes, 4 flat washers, and 2 bolts.
its pretty simple but effective. the bar is a little too long so i'm going to cut it to size soon but its not too obtrusive. wanted to use wingnuts for easier disassembly but i couldn't find any at the hardware store. going to ziptie a pool noodle to the top rails for support and a softer mounting point. pretty inexpensive and easy to make (about $25). willing to build some more if anyone wants to buy one. all in all its cheaper than what i've seen on the market and allows for quick break down and gear transport. let me know what you vets think.
thanks
