Atop the bean.  Toyota Previa, 1995, with 'custom' roof racks--3" steel bar affixed to ladder racks with J-hooks. 

Forgot to take the pic before removing the straps, while I wouldn't put it past me, I've yet to drive with the yaks unfastened. 

They get three straps each: one to each of the J hooks (run under the ladder rack), and another each in the middle to a pair of stainless steel 8mm marine eye-bolts affixed to the roof of the van.  For longer freeway trips I'll be running an additional bow line.

Nice thing on this van is it's got a sunroof in the middle, so I can open that, and stand in the van while rigging the tie-downs.



and on the driver's side for my wife's sit in.

Harbor freight fold up trailer

What size trailer is that? It folds up? How much room does it take up folded?

I'm trying to figure out to take my yak camping. If I put the yak in the bed I have no room for camping gear. I have no room for a rack. I have a small yard. I have a Predator 13 yak. So probably a small, fold up trailer would be my best option?

Here's my truck at Christmas 2011. 2001 Dodge Dakota, V8. Under those Santa hats are lights.

The wife got a 2015 Outback, I have a 2013 Outback (  :smt009 ) so hauling the yaks and all the other crap equipment in my short bed Silverado wasn't going to work anymore.
Bought a Harbor Freight 4x8 folding trailer and built it to meet our needs (hopefully).

Do I need padding on the 2" cross bars or will the rails of the Outbacks be ok riding on the steel without it?

Looks awesome.  I'd suspect they'll be OK on the bare steel, but I'd throw some pool noodles over the steel just in case.

Use pool noodles for sure.  Better safe then sorry and it only costs a couple bucks.  I get mine at Wal-Mart.

That is some quality work, oldfart! Very nice trailer. I would second the recommendation to add pool noodle or pipe insulation for padding. It isn't necessary but it helps.

Thanks, You would probably be less impressed if you could see the welding. Definitely not my forte. Took lotsa time with the grinder and still not pretty.
 I will look for something a little denser than pool noodles for the cross bars, maybe the foam floor mats and use a heat gun to form them around the bars.

Good work!  I'm in the process of making a "rod locker" that will go on the side of my rig.

Your trailer looks like what I originally planned to make before my OCD got the better of me. 
I'm looking forward to seeing your rod locker design.  My trailer bounces around so much I'm concerned that the rods will slap against each other or the trailer and fracture.  I am considering sewing up some rod socks out of heavy felt to help prevent that.
