Parts Needed for Transporting 2 14-Foot Kayaks on 2010 Toyota Tacoma with Factory Roof Rack
Question:
I have a 2010 tacoma double cab long bed. It has the factory installed roof rack with the two cross supports. I have two 14 foot tantum kayaks I would like to haul. I see you sell the goal post style receiver hitch rack. What else would I need? Can you provide for me item numbers?

Expert Reply:
We can get you set for hauling your two 14-foot kayaks on your Tacoma.
A hitch-mounted load support system like the Erickson # EM07605 is the way to go. Since you already have a roof rack on the truck's cab you'll simply insert the extender into a 2-inch hitch, either a rear-mounted hitch or a front-mounted one like # 31313.
If you need tie-down straps to secure the kayaks you might consider 4-piece ratcheting strap set # EM31352 from Erickson.
You can also add two Foam Kayak Blocks like the Malone blocks MPG172 to help cushion your kayaks. If you want a similar foam block for the factory bars on the cab you can use another #MPG172 or part # MPG152 which comes with tie-down straps.
