Is anyone travelling anyplace close to Knoxville and North Georgia in a coach or pickup in the next few weeks? There's an engine trolley in Knoxville which need to come to Braselton. Too long to go in a car but a pickup or the floor of your coach wrapped in a moving blanket would get it here. Otherwise I'll go get it and take it back about the end if February. Any help, even partway is appreciated, someone can mee4t you along the Interstate. Trip is from Chuck's place to mine.
Thanks,
Johnny

not sure on a kia soul, and how strong the roof structure is. When I borrowed the gantry for my engine job, I thought it was a copy of another Club member's gantry that came all apart. I was wrong, and it was long(12') and heavy. I hauled it like a canoe, on my yakima rack. strapped the front to the front bumper, and the rear to the rear. it stuck out front and back of my CRV. I could see easily using the canoe foam to protect the roof. but you just have to know your car and what the roof can handle for weight.

I have a 2018 Kia Soul Exclaim (hot roddy turbo version, YIPPEE!). If you have the Kia roof racks, I don't see where there would be a problem.

Don't hafta check....no roof rack. And while it >might< hold a couple hundred pounds distributed I wouldn't try a beam where the weight is concentrated... It would almost surely dent the roof rack on a bump.
