    Anyone have some pics of transporting a kayak on bed bars (i have Kb voodoo bars).

    I saw somewhere where someone used j hooks on the bars, but i cant find the post anymore.

    My kayaks are 11-13 feet, so just pitting them on the bars doesnt really work as more than 8’ would be beyond the back bed bar.

    I was hoping my hitch extender would would to help support the kayaks, but the harbor freight one i have doesnt adjust to the right height. Anyone have a hitch extender that will adjust to the height of the bed bars?

    Easy to load and secure a couple kayaks in the bed, I have had a 16’ kayak in the bed with my extender without issues.

    Yeah, T-bone wont adjust to height of bed bars. I have a HF hitch extender for when i load the kayaks in the bed, but need a solution for when the bed is full of stuff.

    I have 40” from tow hitch to bed bars.
