Well a week or so back I seen another Gobi JT hauling a kayak with top off and it stuck up to passenger seat and out the back. No photos due to we was passing different directions on I-state at about 65-70 mph each.

I guess that is one way to do it

I have kayaks but just got my gladiator. I think I'm going to buy a T bar to mount out the hitch to support my kayaks while they sit in the bed
this is what I do, but I don’t have pics.

Looks like the best probably most expensive option to me. Not on a Gladiator. But with a rack that would go higher than the cab I bet it would work nicely.

Will this work for 2 kayaks
Yes it will take 2 kayaks, I usually carried 4.8mtrs + 4.5mtrs SOT kayaks on it.
Bar or arm need to be least 1.5mtrs wide to fit 2 kayaks.
