Carrying stuff on the roof
I'm going to pull the trigger on a relatively small inflatable boat (likely, the Intex Mariner 4) to get me away from shore while fishing on camping trips. The inflatable which I'm looking at can fit...

I was apparently WAY under on my estimate of the Mariner 4. I estimated ~20lbs, when it's about 80lbs. Still entirely feasible to carry on the roof, which I plan to do.
I do like the idea of a front rack, though, for other things. I already have a rack for the rear. And actually, I'm towing an ATV trailer most of the time when camping anyway, so the rear rack stays home when I am towing.
DJ: Did you fab up your front hitch and racl? If you had someone else do it, may I ask who it was?
Major Tire & Hitch on Chinden installed the frame mount front hitch rated at 500# weight carrying. The rack is from Harbor Freight.
Another great use for a front hitch!!!
