Transporting Kayak With Toyota Tacoma With Overland Bed Rack

Question

Question:

Hi I have an overland bed rack on my tacoma see attached pic.... I am looking to mount a cargo basket and add kayak carriers to it. Would the Yakima baskets mount to 4 inch wide cross bars. If not I could drill into the bars to mount if that is an option.

You can carry your kayaks by getting the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149, get two pads # Y07417 and two sets of straps # Y05006. There is no cargo basket that will fit 4 inch wide bars nor can I recommend drilling for a basket install. This will be a good solution to your problem though! I've included some videos of the load extender to show you how it works!

Just looking at your Tern HSD bike with fenders, I'm going to say no the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 1 Bike #SAR23MR is not going to work. I did some research and it looks like a lot of Tern owner's went with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE…
