    Hello there. New to the forum. The extensive info and use of this forum is one reason I have confidence in buying 2023 Tacoma OR loaded with OEM options. Specifically I have ordered the Tacoma (hopefully a factory build in my name) with an OEM roof rack. I am hoping to load up yo 2 sea kayaks on this rack with a total added weight of the boats of approx 110 lbs. I was am looking for kayak cradles might fit the OEM rack. Simple is better. Thinking of how the kayak holder hardware would fit around the OEM rack bars. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

    Thanks for the input folks. Full over-cab rack is probably the way to go and can likely work even with a tonneau cover
