Found a ladder rack a while back on Facebook marketplace, (thank you Matt) and saved it along with a few others hoping the sellers would come down to a more reasonable price.
Well, our patience paid off! I decided
to check my saved items to see what had sold, changed price or had been
re-listed, and there it was; $1,300 was now down to $800. To top it
off, this ladder rack looked almost new; it was already on an econoline
van and local! I took a page out of my brother-in-law Chris' book and
offered the guy $700 because he swears to never pay the asking price.
"Offer accepted" I couldn't believe it! Set up a date, time and place to
meet up to transfer the rack from his van to ours, and we are now the
proud owners of an easy load ladder/soon to be kayak rack.
Got back to the shop and with a few easy couple days of work on the modifications and this is our result! I'm happy with the ease of loading and unloading and how it turned out overall.
Now to add a gear basket to the opposite side!
