I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 and I tried every conceivable way to get my x-factor into the bed and no dice... Finally spent the $450 and bought Yakima racks for the truck. Bolted on with j-bolts and got the long pads.I bought long Dakine pads with the Velcro all across the bottom and they roll when I load my yak. Makes for easy loading. Having my yak in the bed with all my poles and gear made me nervous. Plus I like being able to throw my bbq, cooler, and chairs in the bed so I can cook the fish moments after I land... Fresh fish....
