just put saddles on your wing and put the yak on it and a monster energy sticker would complete the outfit

Ladder rack on a 1994 ford ranger doing 70-85mph on the freeway is no problem for me with a PA haha

Nice buy.

You should loop the straps through the scupper hole for a piece of mind. I would hate to see/hear a kayak loose on the freeway again.

not sure I want to try and put that much stress on the roof racks at 85mph.

For the scupper hole idea, I do like that but I've been thinking of added a third strap through the rear doors, tie down the yak to the car rather then depend on the roof rack system. Maybe being too paranoid but never had a kayak on a roof rack before, just my bikes.

I run the same set-up on my Audi, its perfectly fine at highway speeds. I have done 85+mph before and it's pretty stable.

Yakin, now let's test that rack out with two yaks.

Don't want to put undue stress to the scupper holes just tie down your stern and bow like in the pic (oh look its a wrx)
