Recommended Truck Bed Support for Kayaks and Other Accessories

Question:

recently purchased a rhino rack t bar and a roof rack for an 09 tacoma. the gap between the two is around 9 ft making it hard to use. I was wondering the measurement of the gap on the additional clamps making it possible to build an inbetween rack? Possibly something to accomplish this? I know its more for kayaks the way the back rack s back so it would have to be something easily removed.

To support the span of your bed, the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - 450 lbs # TH500XT-XK3 has an adjustable height that you could use to utilize your roof rack and have two more points of support between the t-bar.

The Rhino-Rack Multipurpose Holder for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty, Aero and Sportz Crossbars # RMPH will not be compatible with the Xsporter Ladder Rack crossbars. You would need to use the # RRRMPHU t-slot adapter for that application.
