Does anyone have any recommendations for some racks for kayaks? I do have a retractable toneau cover, if that matters. I'd need it to be something relatively easy to take down and set up so I don't leave it on my truck all the time.
My neighbor was dealing with last year as he was trying to cover his bead, use the truck for work and mount a kayak rack at the same time. No bueno.
His solution was to sell the truck, buy a dedicated E-series work van and then get a Nissan Frontier to mount his Kayak rack mainly because it's lower to the ground and has 4x4. Needless to say, he still hasn't figured out how to cover his bed, I think he gave up on that.
Maybe a removable bar on the roof from a company like Thule and a fabbed rack that fits in the receiver to hold up the back end. Should be easy to build.
We have a Rack-it rack on our Tacoma, and use a set of Swagman Exo Aero Kayak carrier attachments on it. The clamps are too narrow for the wide bars on the TracRac on the F-150, so I will have to make an adapter of some kind. Haven't done that yet, but that is the plan. The Aero Exo works great.
