Roof support for kayak (PRINSU vs OEM vs others)

Hello, I know many love PRINSU, but I am looking for some less expensive alternative for caring a 13ft kayak along with a hitch bed extender, raised to the roof level. I have OEM roof rack, but reading that it is not reliable for caring heavy items. Thank you.

 

I think you should be fine to carry your 13 ft. kayak on the oem roof rack along with a hitch carrier. I don't believe the weight of the kayak would exceed the weight rating of the oem rack.

 

I'm curious as well, we have a 17' canoe that weights 120lbs and down the road once i get a cap i may have to purchase two roof racks (one over the cab and another over the cap)...gets expensive...let's see what other Tacoma brothers have to say!

 

Check this guys post out. He has a 14ft and puts it on a Prinsu with no issues.

 

Yakima or Thule all the way

 

I have a Prinsu rack with cheap J mounts.

I made different brackets to mount on the 1 x 2 bars.
