I haul 3 kayaks at once in the back of a tachoma pickup. I have a rack spanning the top of the bed that is rachet strapped to the bed via a tie down in each corner of bed. 2 kayaks ride atop the rack and the 3rd is in the bed. I could haul 4 if I needed to. I highly recommend you add a headboard to your set up, otherwise when you load that top kayak, you could hit and bust your window. On commercial trucks I think they refer to it as a “headache rack”, basically to keep something you haul from coming thru back window.
I ran 1 tie to each side handle of top yak, holds yak down, and prevents any side movements. I also ran 2 ties through the rudder handle at the back to stop movement forwards and back.
Sry top yak is 1 tie at back. 1 all away around passing through handles and 1 to each handle to stop going forward as well as side to side . Haven't used it in a while since building my trailer.
So glad I found this channel!!!
Great way to spend my down time.
thank you!

I'll look into it, Thank you!
Great job done my friend 👍
Thank you 👍
Do you have video on what you need and how you built it?
Sorry I have no video but I can give you a list parts and dimensions if you would like?
Great design
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you happen to have dimensions and parts list? Also is this wobbly at all?
I made my rack to fit my Tacoma, I'm not sure my dimension's will help you and it is very stable as long as you properly tie it down.
Where exactly did you attatch the ratchet tie downs?????
I ran 1 tie to each side handle of top yak, holds yak down, and prevents any side movements. I also ran 2 ties through the rudder handle at the back to stop movement forwards and back.
Almost same with bottom yak but just need 1 tie at the back

What kind of rod holders are those sir ?
I used Berkley Twist-Lock Fishing Rod Racks on both sides.
