Hey all,
I am looking for suggestions for loading my 15 foot coleman Ram - X canoe onto the roof of my Prado solo, the canoe weighs around 40-50kgs. I have to get it up there so I can meet a mate a few hundred kays away and will be doing this at a time when I can't get someone to give me a hand. I have a 2012 GX with a set of whispbar trade HD racks that happily carry the boat.
My thoughts are to open the rear door and lay a soft blanket on the rear of the roof then lean the front of the canoe up on the blanket before lifting the rear and sliding it along the racks then lifting the rear while I close the back door.
Has anyone got any other suggestions on doing this to mimnimise the danger of scratching/damaging the car?
