Is there enough trampoling left for me to make one?

There might be enough jord, would have to have a look at what's left and do some brainstorming

The front rack looks pretty good Nello. :up: I made a series of these back when I was transporting hanggliders around and that type of design is what I found most robust. Just make sure the RHS upright doesn't distract your driving view and maybe move it left a bit if it does.

Made some rod holders today out of spares I had lying around. Bolted and sikaflexed the rod holder into the pvc pipe, then added an end cap and a railblaza adapter.
Will fit into the railblaza starports, and still capable of adjusting the angle of the rod holder.
