Transporting 2 kayaks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

HELLSTER INC. · 02-12-2012, 09:28 AM

At first i just put my 2 yaks in the bed of the truck but left no room for anything else. then i picked up a cheap used ladder rack but that was heavy bulky and ugly on a new truck, so i broke down and picked up a Thule Xporter from Andy. Light looks great and removes in seconds, well worth the money.

I'm thinking that two Hooter's girls to carry the 'yaks would work well...

+1 on the thule xsporter, its not cheap but well worth it. It's really nice to put the yaks up top and all the camping or fishing gear in a closed bed.

I bought all this used and in very good condition - I may still have the guys phone #, let me know if you need his info - he may have more. This is what I have:

58" crossbars + feet for Cherokee
Yakima stacker
Thule 875XT Hydro Glide pack (This is complete 4 pc set) ~ $100

You may not need 58" for two yaks...

I normally kick both of my yaks sideways and strap em in so I can still stow my gear in the open space to the opposite side. I also use a bed extender to strap them down that way as well.
