Fatbike roofracks

[Area54]

I'm looking at ways to mount the fats on the roof of our truck (Ford Maverick - similar to Bronco or early Chev Blazer) and camper (Jayco Outback Dove) and looking at the options. We have roofbars on ours, and have room for at least 3 bikes, a rooftop bag, and a double kayak. Was thinking of something like a Thule 532 Freeride, but wondering how the shape of the upright bars interact with the tyre of a moon.

What roofracks have people used with success for their fats? I want to leave the bike intact (not remove front wheel) and also have framebags I want to leave in place - so no frame mounted racks.

Are you set on using the roof? North Shore Racks make a great hitch mounted option if you're not already hauling a trailer or something like that.

A Yakima High Roller works with my Pugs - no probs.  http://www.yakima.com/shop/bike/top/highroller

Running 3.8 Larry on 65mm Large Marge rims ... not sure how your moonlander compares but the High Roller wheel holder is pretty wide.

Ah yes, was thinking about Yakima, always liked the product, philosphy and history. Our Shimano rep has just started his Yakima agency, so easier now to get them here in Oz. The high roller would suit perfectly I reckon.

The moon runs big fat larrys on clowns, 115mm or 4.5" @ 7psi, do you think the wheel holder would accept this width?

Just measured ... 4.5" on the button. Reckon it should work.

Awesome, thanks so much for measuring it for me.
