That's impressive, nice! Question, why does the kayak have to be secured sideways? I had one that I use to flip over into the bed of my truck. Just curious, thanks for posting!

Looks like there are two kayaks.

Haha! Didn't notice the two kayaks.....my eyes were focused mainly on the awesome truck. That answers my question then, thanks!

Just got that same Yakima rack for my canoe.

I want to get those side bars, but it looks like those are out of stock so I'll have to wait a bit for them. They look like a good place to attach canoe paddles on the inside. The spread between the bars is too long to secure canoe paddles up there.

I've had my eyes on Rotopax for awhile, also. Mostly for carrying water for camping, though.

Looks great. Yakima is pricy but worth every penny. The build quality is second to none.

Looks good, but don't forget to tie down the bow/stern lines - especially since your kayaks are biased rearward. If you can move them forward at all, I would highly recommend that. As it is, it appears that you're strapping down the rear point at the widest part of the kayak. There's nothing currently keeping it from sliding rearward, at which point both of your straps would be loose. Adding the stern line would at least put tension on it to keep them from moving rearward. You can even tie it down to the interior hook on the Overhaul rack so it doesn't get in the way of your tailgate.

What holder are you using for the paddles?

They look like the Yakima TopGrip tool holders.

I would be very reluctant to park my truck on that pristine lawn

Did you stay with the stock tire size when you switched to the KO2's or did you go to 265 70R 17's? C or E load? Any issues with the ride if you did go up in size? Thanks in advance.

Nice set-up.

Friendly warning.... I've had to repair 2 paddle which were carried as yours is. The leading edge can experience wind torque well above designed limits. Not to say, all, or in all conditions, just sharing my experience.
