Hi I just purchased two new Outbacks and would like to store them in my garage with a cradle lift. Is that OK to lift them off the trailer straight up or do I need to flip them over? I was going to just use the straps provided but am wondering if I need to support them better. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated. |

Please see your Owner's manual for all the storage do's and don't. Straps at least 2" wide are recommended, and best resting on the topside rails. |

Thanks I don't have an owners manual yet, I pick them up in January. Sorry I didn't mention that. Can I hang them from a garage lift but upside down? Is there a manual on line? Thanks so much for your input. |

Same situation, but I car-top my 2019 Outback. I got a Harken Hoist after pricing out a DIY design. The Block & Tackle and engineering of the Harken sold me, as it was just about $40 more for the kit, rather than cobbling together the parts on my own. It's a fantastic product- highly recommend it. I did make a modification that might apply to your needs: I found the supplied straps to be hard to work with single-handed, as they flopped about, so I replaced them with 1" Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), covered in foam pipe insulation (you could use a pool noodle too), and wrapped the whole thing in Gorilla Tape. It looks like a trapeeze. It works VERY well. I store the yak upside down, and it's tight to the garage ceiling. Hope this helps give insight. |
