For heavy cargo hauling over your truck's bed, nothing beats the Yakima Outdoorsman 300. It's like a penthouse duplex for your gear. Clamps directly and securely to your truck bed, no drilling required. Combine one of the stand sets with towers on your trucks roof or use two sets of the stands on the bed itself. Each stand set can hold up to 300 pounds if on truckbed only. If used in conjunction with top-of-cab racks, check roof rack load limit. The Outdoorsman 300 is sold as a pair of stands - one for either side of truck bed. Use standard Yakima round crossbars (sold separately)with the Outdoorsman. Stands are designed for compact pickups. For full-size trucks, use Item # 3512, Outdoorsman 300 -Full-Size. Stand dimensions: 26" tall (from bed rail), base is 16"long.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Yakima Outdoorsman 300 - Compact is available through Altrec.com.

Great Rack
I had my doubts about this rack, but after the install it has a very solid feel to it! I have 2 tandem kayaks that I haul on this rack (I have 2 sets with 2 crossbars), and they are very secure using this setup. The only issue I had was that my truck has a bed rail tie down system & I had to find a deeper j bolt to attach the racks to the bed rail. Once that issue was solved, the racks are very solid & I would recommend them to any one who has some difficult hauling tasks!
