A buddy recruited me for a trip west. I peered into the back of the van just now: there’s no paddling gear. And I’m wondering if it will be a summer without boats.
Backstory: 1) we headed west with no boats because my buddy isn’t a boater. 2) I just traded in my Tacoma for a cargo van. I need to install mounting tracks on the van.
For the new van, I want Thule comparability because I have Thule racks and accessories that will be expensive to replace. All I need is to instal tracks, and... they’re out. Until at least October. So, will this be a summer of no boating?
it wouldn’t be too hard to weld up track replacements, which I won’t discuss here because we are not in the DIY forum. I’d rather get the real thing.
I'm kicking myself for not taking the tracks off the Leer cap. It would have left 14 holes in the cap, but it turns out the dealer didn’t care. I was in a time crunch, and not knowing the tracks were out of stock, I let the tracks go.
any suggestions?
