    So I have a homemade tubular bed rack that is a little shorter then cab high and was wondering if there were some base that would work and be able to raise the actual bars the Kayaks would sittin on up?

    Anyone carry a 17’ canoe on their prinsu with no bed extender? If so can I see pics?

    Every ME-SO mod but Bro Pro tails and 3rd brake - SCS SR8's with 255/85R16 ST Maxx - Prinsu Rack with Cali raised 42" slim light bar - TRD Pro grill - SDHQ dual behind the grille light mount with 2x 32" light bars - Cali Raised low profile ditch mounts with Cali pods - BakFlip MX4 Tonneau - WARN Semi-Hidden winch mount bumper - Bilstein 5100's all around with OME 887's - Anytime front/rear camera - Matte black EGR in-channel window visors - Matte Black Nox-Lux Overlay/Tailgate inserts - Interior Blackout kit (incl. black Highlander door handles and Sienna mirror control knob)/Blue door sill/glove box inserts Still wanting: Pelfreybilt or Mobtown Off-Road rear bumper
    I haven't hauled any of my boats since getting my Prinsu on, but I did haul my 18' aluminum Starcraft Canoe on my old Sierra regular cab without any issues. Based on that, i'm not worried in the least about hauling it on the double cab with the Prinsu.

    No pics, sorry, but I did haul it from Ottawa, ON (Canada) all down to basically Detroit, MI. Just shy of 800km without an issue.

    Took Ol’ Red Out for a trip today! When I was a teen I saw this canoe in an elderly lady’s home and asked her what I could do to earn it... helped her around the house a couple times through the summer and the reward was the canoe.

    This is what I want - I just saw this - I just bought a 2019 TRD Double Cab Off Road....I have a few sets of Thule Cross bars and the folding J Cradle kayak holders. I do not want a huge rack in the bed, and to not use the j cradles. Can you give suggestions - how do you use the bed rails? Thanks!

    I have the same boat, just a different color.

    I don't get it out on the water enough, either...

    Grindstone, I have lived in Arkansas for a number of years but have yet to float the Buffalo with my kayak or canoe.
    Can you give some pertinent details? Like when and where you put in and how you retrieved your vehicle, whether overnight on the river, and if did any fishing?

    We're taking our pup on the water for her first time this weekend. Picked up a vest for her but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on convincing the dog to hop on the paddle board or kayak?
