Just got a used cap. Any suggestions on roof rack set ups for a unit like this with cap high in back and low in front? Primary use is for canoe. Options are basket or box.

 

got any pictures??? post em up and we'll see what we can do.. sounds to me that the canoe wont contact the front of the canopy.. so if you build a little thing (like 2 end pieces and a cross piece) like a 3/4 rectangle type of dealy.. coming off the cap in the front and the same height as the back or even higher, then put a piece on the top of the back so it wont touch the cap and **** it up. now lay your canoe upside down on the top of the truck.. i'll see what i can draw up in "paint" for ya so you get an idea of what im talking about.

EDIT:



here's my sweet paint skills.. not the best picture but you get the idea... oh and i used my truck as an example. if you post a pic of your truck i can murder that one up too!!

 

 

I take it the cap you are referring to is the one in your avatar, unfortunately, with a cap like that (one that starts level with the cab and gets higher as it goes towards the back) can't haul a canoe UNLESS you install a cross bar just behind the cab, on the topper, that is level with the height of the topper at the rear.

 

just build a bar on the back like martin drew out, then by the front of the game make it taller so its even with the back. a basket wouldn't look good on that anyway.
