Quality photo of a 2006 Nissan Frontier kayak roof rack and pickup truck bed bike rack using the Yakima Railgrab Towers with 58" Crossbars on factory side rails and Yakima HullyRollers and Mako Saddles kayak rack combo with Yakima Locking BedHead bike carrier.
Call this one “surf n turf” if you like, or call it a great use of racks for carrying your gear with the purpose of having fun. Whatever you call it, this 2006 Nissan Frontier kayak roof rack and pickup truck bed bike rack set up is using the Yakima Railgrab Roof Rack Kit (which comes with 58″ crossbars) attached to the Nissan Frontier factory siderails, and mounted to the cross bars is the kayak carrying combo of the Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers with Yakima Mako Saddles kayak saddles. A Yakima SKS 4 pack lockpack keeps the rack system locked securely down. In the pickup truckbed is the Yakima Locking BedHead truck bike rack (locks included) mounted to the bed rails. Someone knows how to rack up and how to have fun, and that would be this guy.

Terrific shot of a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck kayak rack system with Yakima Q-Tower Half Pack System (Yakima Q-Tower Half Pack, Yakima Q118 Q-Clips, Yakima 66" crossbar) and Yakima DryDock hitch mounted rack with Yakima 66" bar and Yakima HullyRollers kayak rollers and Yakima Mako Saddles combo.
This customer needed to carry his kayak on his 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 and he has suceeded with flying colors. For longer loads such as kayaks, canoes, and lumber, it’s best to achieve maximum crossbar spread between the front and rear crossbars, and this system allows that. For the front crossbar on the truck cab, he has installed the Yakima Q-Tower Half pack system which is made up of a Yakima Q-Tower Half pack, one set of Yakima Q 118 Q clips, and a single Yakima 66″ roundbar. For the rear crossbar, he is utilizing his receiver hitch and has installed a Yakima DryDock rack matched up with another single Yakima 66″ crossbar. For supporting the kayak, he has a pair of Yakima HullyRollers on the rear crossbar for easy loading and unloading, and on the front crossbar he has a set of Yakima Mako saddles. The truck bed remains empty for loading up all his gear. Great job!

Photo featuring the Yakima Railgrab roof rack and Yakima Mako Saddles-HullyRoller kayak rack combo used as a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander kayak roof rack system.
This picture of a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander kayak roof rack set up is a good example of how to easily load and unload a kayak by one person. The system is configured using the Yakima RailGrab car rack mounted to the 2003 Mitsubushi Outlander factory side rails. The Yakima Mako Saddles and Yakima HullyRoller kayak rack combo set are attached to the RailGrab base rack system cross bars.
