Rack for fishing kayak

[Pavementsux22JT]

Anybody put a full size fishing kayak up on a rack? What rack are you using? pics would be great! I would put it in the bed but I would like to use my bed for camping gear with the kayak on top. Problem I'm running into is fishing kayaks are kinda heavy and awkward.

I had the same problem. I ended up getting a small trailer to tow them on.

The only picture I have is behind my other camping rig but you get the idea…

Yakima Overhaul HD, used it with my fishing boat that was about 80lbs. Great rack, height adjustable had no complaints. Significantly easier than loading them on my Gofastcamper now, I miss the rack for the convenience.

If you have a local REI Resupply you can get all the parts, often unused for hundreds less. I just saw one last week for $500 brand new in returned box.

Check out our TRUKD Bed Racks! Both our T Series and A Series racks work great for carrying a fishing kayak. Our racks are made of stainless steel and aluminium, so rust is never an issue, all made in the USA! Check us out! Our T Series racks are also compatible with tonneau covers, if you'd like that option.

That A-series rack looks sweet. Do you have any pics of it on a gladiator?

I’m using my bed extender vertical for the rear and bought a set of cartopper pads off Amazon for the cab. This is the cheapest solution I have found that
works very well and stable.
The only issue I have is “getting that big ol Harley up on the high dive”

I do have some pictures of our 22" A Series on a Gladiator! I'll attach one picture, but check out tristateoverland on Instagram. He's got a ton of pictures of it on his page!

ive got a 12.5ft yak, and i just lay mine in the bed with it strapped down and the tailgate angled open to angle it upward with the nose in the corner. Works ok for me and easy in and out.
