New Double Cab

I just purchased a new 2007 Double Cab Tacoma w/offroad package. I'm looking for what people have done as far as racks on a double cab for hauling bikes and canoes? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I've hauled mtn bikes and kayaks in mine. i have a double cab short bed. I just throw the bikes in the back and stack em on top of each other. i just throw the kayak in the back and run a strap through one of the loops and tie it down with the D-rings. Thats why i got a truck, so i wouldnt have to mess with racks and stuff. just throw it in the back, strap it down and go.

 

I saw a bike mount that mounted on the rail to the removeable cleats.

It's probably not secure though so you'd want to cable the bike to prevent theft if you're away from the truck.

 

yeah, i saw that too, but i'm not gonna spend money when i can just lay it down. I run a chain between the bike frame and the dring so no one can take it

 

I ordered the bike fork mounts. I have a 18ft canoe that I'll be hauling so it's a bit long to throw in the back and tie down. So I'm not sure if I should look at a rack that goes over the cab or over the bed of the truck. Has anyone used the Thule Xsporter with a short bed double cab?

Yeah, that canoe is a good bit longer than my kayak, maybe a rack is a good idea....

 

Well, I think I got a pretty good set up now. I'm able to load a canoe, kayak and a couple bikes while still using the space in the bed for "Gear" and supplies. Check it out:
