I am lucky that I had several main components already on hand: cargo carrier and a load extender. I used a couple milk crates with 4in of rigid insulation with nose profile carved into it, some 5/8" all thread, a chunk of 2x2 steel tubing, a bunch of pool noodles. I added support directly to the chassis frame and ended up using 4 5/8" galv turnbuckles. Also rigged a manual lift with a hand winch, a pulley as my kayak is 70lbs and was difficult to lift up into the milk crate. I doublecheck clearances and made sure we can still carry our 2 bikes as well. Out of pocket expense perhaps $250 as I already had the 2 main components
