"ALRIGHT!" I should have a t-shirt with that...

Thanks for the video. I built mine following your directions. The only deviation--I used an unthreaded rod for an axle, and drilled two holes for cotter keys. My daughter works in a welding shop, so she was a great help.

Man I wish you made a parts list. I know it's simple enough to remember but still. Decent video fix for sharing

I made a very similar crate carrier for a canoe I used to have, I cut a V notch into the crate so it would match the V on the bottom of the canoe. It held itself for the most part without a strap. Great minds think alike.

Based on what I’ve seen in DIYs kayak carts…you win!!! It has been said that It’s the simple things that profound the wise. I’ll be building this one! New subscriber onboard. Keep on with the DIYin.

Out of all the different diy dolly ideas, I'm going with yours. Great idea for stowing the wheel assembly!

Hey thanks for the video, it gave me a better idea using a large commercial bread tray with wheels for my specific project. Yay!

What a fantastic idea. We just bought three fishing kayaks, and have been trying to think of how to store the needed kayak dollys. This is perfect - the crates can still be used to hold all the accoutrement, and there is no loss of space from a separate piece of equipment. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I just bought me and my wife both one of these kayaks 2 weeks ago we both love bass fishing I’m going to have to make us some of these great job 👏🏼

Good stuff Dave!! Couple things, 1. Kayaks are made to get scuffed up! lol. 2. Cinch straps are way better than ratchet straps for plastic boats! Anxious to do a float with you!!

great build gave me an idea of putting the wheels on my crates lid and flip the kayak and leave the crate in the boat

Spectacular idea! Very practical. By the way, the kayak is beautiful. Greetings from Argentina

I found that 2, 31' rubber bungie cords fit great & works easier than the fickle Straps. 👍🏻

well done sir, cheap, easy and to the point

That's a really cool project! I found this video looking at videos on the Teton Pro which I am thinking of buying

Tom Hanks showing us what he learned in Cast Away.

I ended up making this with a radio flyer wagon axle and wheels. The stock axle and wheels fit perfectly. It’s a great idea

Good job Dave!

You are a genius! I am going to copy your idea with your permission

Have to say, very clever! I did like the comment about using a non-threaded rod with holes drilled for the cotter pins - think it would speed the switchover. Then the stow-away position... Yeah, heckova an idea!

Nice build. Welcome to the kayak community. I subbed, want to share your adventures. I hope you didn't let your dog see you taking your new kayak for a walk. You know how jealous dogs can be. Lol. Don't worry about it my on mother said I wasn't wired right. Lol. Tight lines, and for Pete's sake wear that pfd, it's your best friend on a kayak. Stay safe.

Awesome job!

Great 💡 idea ! Good job..

Verry good idea👍👍👍

Great Idea! South Carolina watching

Thanks Hombre!!! From TX!

Great great vid brother

That was super genius

very nice idea you inspired me thanks

Nice yak have the same one and love it

Awesome on kayak videos👍

Thanks Im going to give it a go making it.

AWESOME. Can you make a rectangular milk crate bicycle trailer and video it? Thank you!

Great content ❤️

You are a genius!!!!

Nice. If you install the cart close to the middle of the boat you'll find that it will be less weight to carry. Just behind the middle of the cart should be best.

I am going to make one of these for my canoe.

That was cool!

All the reviews for that kayak talk about the weight issue. This DYI project looks like it solves that problem and the crate can still be used to hold gear out while fishing? Great job, and nice video. I’ll be looking to making this!

Great video thank you

I’m copying this!!!! Lol just brilliant thx for sharing beats a boondocks landing gear at $300+ dollars and you don’t even get a milk crate storage 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Brilliant idea why the pvc pipes when we can have a "crate" instead, i'll be copying that :) thanks..

Good idea and save lot$ of money 💵.

You could probably use one of those large flat bungee strap instead the ratchet strap so you don't have to deal with ratchet so much.

Mmm!!!🤔🤔im thinking about to make a same one for my heavy 3 waters 103 pedal drive kayak lets see if that crate can support 130 pounds on it!! Wish me look By the way thats and awesome idea congrats amigo!!🤜🤛 👍👍👍👍👍

If you move the cast closer to center you will be carrying less weight

Genius!

I just bought the same ones from the same place. Thank you for the instruction and idea. I think I am going to make a couple for mine. Do you have any Umbrella ideas?

PS What's the total cost without milk crate, obviously. I paid $30 total, came out nice.

I’m about to build one of these as we speak. How did it hold up? Would you change anything? I bought the exact supplies you did.

Close your eyes and Tom Hanks is talking. - seriously though, I’m going to make this tomorrow. I hope it holds 80lbs. Thanks for the video

I bought a kayak cart and it’s junk it won’t work at all keep falling off or folding up I’m gonna try this

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzfaq.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

I don’t know. It doesn’t look steady enough to hold a heavy kayak in rougher terrain. Anyone try it with a big kayak, like an old town?

How did you get a 5/8" diameter rod to fit through a 1/2" pvc pipe?

You said you were going to show us how to store this crate on your kayak so you could still use it as a fishing crate. I believe you forgot to include that?

Why does it say, the wheels stow away?

Why not just make the pvc axle tube 1” longer vs making spacers?

Are you still using the crate as your dolly?

$4 walker from good will 🤔 But I love you huge wheels!

How do you transport your kayak? On your rooftop or trailer?

Thinking about adding pvc pipes to that to make it go through the scupper holes to make it more stable.What does anyone on here think about it

Just confirming because I am making my own... the axle rod you're using is 5/8" and you're using a 1/2" pvc pip?

Where did you get axl ?

If you love DIY and screwing around with stuff then one of these THINGS is highly recommended. LOL.

MacGyver Approved. Quote: “Zip ties could save your life one day.”

Can u turn your Teton into pedal drive? That's what I wanna do

Did make any changes since this?

Creatif and smart

What size wood bit are you using for the Axle?

I'd like it better if your conduit was single U instead of two L's

Hope you put pin on both sides

ratchet straps are the worst straps to use

You've got to be kidding...

ONLY THING I SEE WRONG , IS THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE GROUND CLEARANCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MILK CRATE....just an observation...

Milk crate theft is a really big problem for dairies and stores in the US and costs the industry thousands of dollars every year. While the big boys might be able to suck up this kind of loss, it can have a very real impact on the smaller shops and dairies and it’s you, as the consumer, who will end up paying for it.

Doesn't not look practical
