🚗 Efficient and Reliable Malone Big Foot Pro Universal Car Rack Canoe Carrier: Complete with Bow and Stern Lines Review

When I bought this item I thought it could be installed on any SUV cross member but it doesn't. Due to the leg hole design, it will only fit a bar of the same width. Also, despite the fact that the seller claims shipping is free, as a buyer you still have to pay for the return postage, which is unfair.

The threads of one of the screws were coated with plastic. It took me a while to figure out that I could use a screwdriver to scrape off the excess plastic. And it was…

After using foam blocks for about 6 rides they broke and didn't help me in the Kansas cross winds. So I went for a more permanent solution and got these Malone Big Foots. The setup worked great on a 2010 Town and Country minivan with a factory roof rack. And when we returned home for 5 hours in a 30-40 mph crosswind these racks held the canoe in place. I stopped several times and waited to tighten the straps, but they were just as tight as they were at the start of the trip. I expect the little
