    I recently inherited a kayak but I have a short bed so it's difficult to transport. I'm considering purchasing a roof rack. Has anyone installed one after market?
    I have found an OEM one online but didn't know if it was an easy install. Thanks!

    I just installed a Baja Rack Flat rack and love it! I had same design on my 4 runner and liked not having the basket sides, made it easy to use kayak or bike mounts. It is easy to install bolts to existing mounts on tacos.

    OEM Rack is an easy install and works great for Kayaks.

    If you EVER, at any point in the next 20+ years (congrats on your purchase!) plan on carrying anything other than kayaks...DO NOT GO WITH OEM! It's a waste of money if you don't already have one. I'm a bit partial to prinsudesigns as you can see.

    Reasons I mulled over:
    OEM weight limits
    Mounting options for other items limited so I would be spending even more in those
    Looks
    Functionality limited to OEM
    And of course...can I hang a hammock from it?

    The rack I have uses t-slots...the item mounting options are ENDLESS when it comes to this priceless feature!

    Get your order in early for the prinsudesigns rack, they do take a bit to fabricate and ship.
    Good luck with your decision!

    I went with the classic Yakima setup. I debated frontrunner but in the end, I use my Yakima Rocket Box more than I did my cargo basket, so it made sense to stay that route. I did add the cab mounted bar for when I have my canoe up there though.

    I have a similar setup, but have the OEM rack up front and 59" rack bars that I can use on the camper shell. Works great.
