length of boats you wish to carry.Comments:
A few months ago I bought THE STYLE #2 REAR RACK and last week I bought your
J-Cradles. I wanted to say I am very pleased by both. It was a relief to find something
that also worked with my tonneau cover. The J cradles are far
better than anything Thule or Yakima has to offer. Well, all I really wanted to say is
thank you and as long as you guys keep out doing Yakima and Thule you have a new life
long customer. -Phil

Our Truck Rack system compliments already the best sport rack
in the business... Yakima! We use and recommend a half set of Yakima rack for
the (front) cab portion of your carry system. This will make for an easy
on/off, secure and rigid carry system. We can fit most trucks/cars with or
without gutters. Cost for the cab portion of Yakima system
will run around $139.00 for most pickups. Several Rear Rack styles are shown
below.
Plus, you get a 10% discount on Yakima accessories with a front and rear rack
purchase!
(Front and rear racks priced separately)
(Substitute the front rack with Thule $149.00)

Style #1
 
Our most
Popular!
Two different upright heights are available for
smaller/mid-size or full-size trucks. HD Steel, square 1" tubing, with black
powder coat finish.
Mounts to the inside of your open box back beside the
tailgate. Two heights, but only one is best for your vehicle.
...ask the experts!
Basic #1
Style
Flange Mount
$149.90
Some Early trucks like
the Mid sized Chevy S-10 models, Toyota trucks(80's and early 90's) may not
require the nutsert option. (Also includes older Nissan "Frontier" and "Tundra"
models.) These vehicles have a metal flange at the rear of their box where the
tailgate closes against. Our pre-drilled uprights can bolt through to this
flange.
Deluxe #1 style Rear Rack
Nutsert, Side Mounted
$179.90
All new full-size and new
smaller/mid-size trucks require the deluxe nutsert and flaring system. You will
end up with two "threaded" holes, the size of a pencil, one above the other,
about two inches away from your tailgate. Opposite of this flat side wall area
is where your taillights are located. Remove two screws retaining the light
assembly so you can visibly eyeball there is nothing interfering with the two
holes to be installed. You can watch the nutserts properly tightening. These
nutserts eliminate the need of a locknut and wrench on the backside. Slick huh?
Removes and reinstalls in minutes! (You only need to remove the taillight
assembly for the initial installation.)
(Front and rear
racks sold separately)

Style #2
Cap or Tonneau Cover
Compatible
Basic #2
style
$184.90
We
call this one the "Universal" because it fits any truck with or without a
tonneau cover or cap. If you have a tonneau cover or cap, we
will need you to measure the width or your trucks top rail "flat" area to make
sure we ship the correct plate for your specific truck. Plates mount under the
tonneau cover frame and protrude out a couple of inches. Our uprights then
mount on this baseplate. Black HD steel, powder coat finish! Uprights and
crossbar can be disassembled in minutes, leaving just the Base Plates on your
Truck.
Uprights can be removed from bar in seconds or removed as one piece
for storage, ready to reinstall.
(Note: The two uprights can be mounted directly on trucks
side rails back by the tailgate without using preformed plates if there is no
cap or tonneau cover.)
(4pc Load Stops shown $45.
or $65. w/2 straps)
Deluxe #2 style Rear
Rack
Nutsert, bedrail lip mounted
$229.90
With Nutserts and flaring
tool kit.
(eliminates the need of a nut on the backside of the top rail lip)
This will work on any truck's lip or the double walled "flare side"
models!
OR- recommended if you would want to remove the plates
often.
Clamp-On #2 style Rear Rack
clamps to bedrail lip
$239.90
Steel Vise like clamps grip like no others. Won't
vibrate loose like some competitors aluminum clamps.
Set of (4) clamps with
appropriate sized base plates.
(Will not
work on some flare side models see the above Nutsert installation.)
(Front and rear racks sold
separately)
| Note: Some models of the
Ford F-Series require a specially shaped (tapered) base plate because
the top rail is tapered. Narrow at the tailgate end to several inches wider
near the back window. Made of stainless steel, we have one width for mounting
near the tailgate (for longer boats) and another wider plate for mounting over
the axle area (for shorter kayaks). |
Stainless steel F150
plates.....add $39.00 to the style #2 prices above.
Stainless steel Chevy
Silverado plates .....add $39.00 to the style #2 prices above.

Our competitor shows a 12' canoe on their "in
the box" style, supporting less than half the load. It doesn't work so well
with 16', 17, 18' boats. Our racks are strong enough to carry ladders, lumber,
easy on - easy off! Our system will accept caps or tonneau covers. For cars and
trucks with or without gutters we can supply the front rack at an additional
cost. Yakima of course!
|
12' Old Town Pack shown on a competitor's flimsy clamp-on model that
clamps loosen! Crossbars on this competitor's in the box
style shown are to close together to support a longer load and will sway back
and forth with your load, scaring the heck out of you! Anything that implies
light weight, disappearing, fits into a bag , folds... BEWARE!!! These same
competitors very seldom show that bow/stern lines for safety are a
must!
WRONG
Some boneheads selling
their "in the box" type racks will even try to tell you that there is movement
between the cab and the box and not to use a half set of Yakima or Thule towers
over the cab. They don't know that both are mounted to the same solid I-beam
chassis beneath!! |
Oak Orchard's carry systems moves the front rack well forward and
center to facilitate a longer, safer carry. This helps to reduce the boats
trying to "weather vane"!
All our racks are topped off with the same round bars Yakima uses. Carry up
to 5 kayaks with any Yakima product or our own Oak Orchard accessory line.
RIGHT!
If you must "shop around" before ordering
our superior type racks, please be aware of any company that does not have
canoe or kayak in their name! (This alone should tell you
something.) |
Notice from the
Experts:
Yakima, Thule, Oak
Orchard, all recommend using bow and stern straps from the
end of your boat to the bumpers!! (sold separately $9.95
each) You need a total of six straps on a vehicle for a rigid tie
down.
It is
important to secure all loads with straps or ropes to the bumper corners as
shown above. This little trick will also reduce the likelihood of you driving
into the garage or low tree limbs with your boats on top. (This Happens all too
often - ouch!!)
Tip from the
experts. "Twist the bow tie down straps several times to eliminate
vibrations or rubbing."
