tacoma + kayak

Well, bought a 12 ft Jackson Coosa FD....will arrive this weekend hopefully. Another couple questions.....how have u been storing your kayaks in garage (hoist, shelves, wall mount)? Just looking for some ideas. As well, I'm gonna need a cart to haul it around (thing is friggin heavy).....what kayak carts do u use? Thanks all!

 

Nice! Jackson makes great boats... factory is at Rock Island just over an hour from my house where the Jackson clan call home! Awesome whitewater and fishing kayaks made in ‘Merica

 

I bought some kayak J hooks on sale at West Marine or Academy and hung them on the wall in my garage. I have a 12 ft and a 14 ft Heritage.

 

I just ordered these from Thule for my paddleboards and surfboards. Previously owned a fishing yak... before buying J racks, check the weight limitations.

 

Ain’t no way or how I am lifting my fishing kayak to my roof... I got a trailer for camping and bringing my yak. And the bed(with no extender) for the short trips In between. Been fine for years.

 

Looks great! How long is the kayak? And that's a long bed correct?

 

12ft and no SB

 

Grear idea!
I used to tie my bow down on tow hook under front bumper and did get some chaffing on hood. Love your method!

 

Where are y'all purchasing your truck bed extenders? Can you rent one? I'm renting a couple of kayaks for my gf's birthday so right now I only need it for a day.

 

You can find a 20% off coupon pretty easy. And it stores small as well.

But if you just need to haul kayaks once, just put down the tailgate and strap it down like the poster above.

 

This is my Taco and my fishing kayak. The kayak is a Jackson Big Rig and is 13.5 feet long. I am using Boonedox T-bone bed extender. I have a trailer that I used with my previous vehicle but being able to use the bed is so much more convenient for quick trips with this fat, heavy kayak.

 

4 10ft yaks and a short bed.
