Expert Reply:
For your 2004 Honda Pilot with factory roof rack you can use the Thule Stacker, # TH830. It has the ability to hold up to 4 kayaks on their sides. For 3 kayaks you will likely need some additional tie downs, # TH855XT.
Be sure to measure the useable width of the crossbars to make sure the 3 kayaks are not too wide. Also consult the vehicle owners manual for the roof rack capacity to be sure the rack has the capacity to handle the weight of the 3 kayaks.
I also recommend a tire step, # ALL647596, to help with loading and unloading items on the roof. A tire step is much safer than standing in an open vehicle door way.
