Just picked up a nice flat roof fiberglass truck cap for my Tacoma, and will definitely want a rack for it. I've searched the topic a bit and see that some people prefer one rack mounted on the cab, and the other on the cap; but for the moment I'm thinking both crossbars on the cap. Looks like the standard racks (Thule, Yakima, Rhino's) all run around $300-400 or so. Any ideas about home made, or lesser known brands, as options out there that you know of?

What do you use to tie the bow to the front end of your vehicle? I can't seem to find any rope that won't stretch out while I am driving if there is a stiff cross wind. Should I just use cam straps instead? I've always avoided them for the bow tie-downs, because I thought they would interfere too much with my field of vision.

I usually log in to this site every morning as I have my coffee and get ready to head to work. I really enjoy when someone has posted some nice images or trip reports to read to get my day started in the right frame of mind. I was thinking it might be cool if we posted one photo a day, something canoe related, with a little description to go with it. Keeping it to one a day means that most of us could probably post for a long time, and there would be something new to see each morning...
