Question:
Hello, looking for kayak mounts that will work with the Truxedo Elevate system. Can you let me know what my best options are to fit those upper horizontal beams. I believe it has a channel that the kayak holders will mount into? Any info for kayak transport in regards to the Truxedo elevate is appreciated. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The TruXedo Elevate Truck Bed Rack System # TX96NV does have channels in the top of the crossbars. The Malone MegaWing # MPG207 you were looking at clamps on and only fits crossbars up to 3-1/2" wide so it wouldn't work with the ladder rack.
For a saddle style carrier like this that would work well for a regular or fishing kayak I recommend the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR. This comes with T-bolt hardware that will allow you to install it on the crossbar channels. This also comes with an integrated locking system to keep everything secure. If you're looking for something more like a J-style carrier you could also use the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero # TH849000.
