Post pics of your Taco with your Canoe or Kayak mounted.

Here's mine. I usually pull a utility trailer because we have so many friends that float. I wanted something I could haul without the trailer.

 

Kayak fishing for largemouth bass on the Colorado River.

 

Needed to haul a canoe last minute so I built a rack with some 2x4s, actually worked out great and was cheap

 

Completely stock.

Solo trip

 

Thanks for posting. I needed some ideas on how to get my boat on top by myself after I paddled and arms are rubber.

I'll probably grab some Pvc pipe and fabricate some brackets to mount to the racks

 

Bought the truck not even two months ago and used my Rocket Straps cargo net to keep my recently acquired fishing kayak in the bed.

 

Rola ladder racks. Green is 10ft, orange is an 8. They'll fit up above together but barely, easier to just toss the 8 in the bed

 

4 creekers and a playboat w/ a thule box full of paddles

 

Kayak and paddle board plus camp trailer.

 

16 foot Cedar/Canvas Canoe for the first trip post re-finishing! New canvas, filler, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of varnish.

The frontrunner rack + DCLB makes for a fairly secure trip, but don't like the flex between cab and bed...

Updated the truck too

 

Here’s one from a while back

 

I like the cross bars you have above your bed cover. I am looking at doing something similar.
Do you have a link to where you got those or any other details? Thanks!

 

I’m thinking of something similar cause while my cap with the rack comes in handy all winter and wet season, summer time I often run without it to haul other things in the bed, be nice to have a quick attach/ detach rack that hooks into the bed rails maybe for the canoe. Don’t want to spend the big bucks though.

 

Waiting for my roof rack to arrive, till then...

 

It’s too easy putting my 12 foot Hobie into the back of my truck. 99% of my trips are really close by. I put the kayak in ass-end first. It is heavier in the back. Super secure.

Hobie instructions say they need the kayak upside Disney on the cross bars. Complicates things since I have a bed topper. I do have the Yakima crossbars tho. One day I’ll get a friend to spot me as I try to get it on the roof and flip it over. Haha

 

Here’s my 17’ sea kayak
