Show Me Your Kayak Transport Setup

[Freedom Beast]

Looking for ideas to transport my kayak. I have a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 (12'). I used to just throw it on the back on my F-150 (silver one), but now it's a little more challenging with the Ranger. Show me your setup and what size yak your running. Almost wondering if I should go with a smaller yak? Thanks !

i used the Thule Hullover on my Explorer ST and my Jeep Gladiator on a yakima bed rack and it was awesome... looks like the price has gone up a bit but i see them used on marketplace pretty often.

i actually still have my set and dont have a kayak anymore if you are interested in buying them. where are you located?

Harbor Freight "Haul Master" ladder rack. I did have to modify a little to get the C clamps to fit, but nothing major. If you want to keep your truck in the garage, with two people, they come off and on very easily. Storing these huge bars though, well...

Nice! Are you using a weight distribution hitch ?

Not with the current trailer as it's pretty light (a little less than 2,000 lbs), but if we get anything larger we absolutely will use one.

Thanks ,my trailer is 2500 lbs and I previously used the bars with my old Tacoma because it would sag to the ground without them but I will keep using them . I'm having a problem trying to level the trailer with the truck because it sit so high on the back.

I've been lucky with the leveling. My RV has an off road package. They flipped the axel and added larger off road tires, so I got lucky.
