Viking Solutions Truck Bed Kayak/SUP Rack - Adjustable Heavy-Duty Powder-Coated Steel Construction Supports 150lbs

These work absolutely perfect on our truck. We've taken the one and off several times because we have a cover we use when we're not kayaking mostly in the cooler weather. They've been a lifesaver and so much better than anything else we've tried. I feel that they are a good price for what they are well made and sturdy! That would suggest to a friend always.

Worked great! The screws for the clamps sucked but easy fix just go to Lowe's and get some deadbolts! Also screws are not labeled so kinda guessing when building.

First, why is the front section shorter in width then the rear? Truck beds aren't different in width front to rear. In addition, the Kayak holders don't line up with each other, had to move holders on shorter one by drilling new holes. I loaded our Kayaks on it before a trip n hated the fit/look. It sits in my garage now only to remind how i wasted my money.

Installed easily. held 3 kayaks at 80 mph with 0 issues. I saw no decrease in Mpg. The only thing to note, and the reason its 4*, is that I see tiny spots where rust is already. I will sand them down and recoat them to make sure they last but otherwise this is a great product and allowed me to use a 4 bike carrier on the back and fill my entire truck bed of my 2014 ford pickup.

I wanted to wait for a kayak trip before my review. Just did a three day trip (350 miles driving each way), and pretty pleased.Pro's. 1- Design really is excellent for the cost. Even though I bought this over a ladder style, hoping it would fit in may garage w/o removal (It didn't), it really is easy enough to take on and off with simple hand tools. 2- Kayak (or misc) layout is great. I only needed it for one (Out Town PDL 106), but it should handle two (and their wight) ok. I ended up mounting three fishing pole setups in the middle space for my trip as well, and it worked out awesome.Cons. 1- The Phillips hardware provided to mount the rack tot he truck bed is a poor choice. I ended up replacing them with cap screws, with a much better result. I can safely and easily install and remove the rack without worrying about stripping the screws out. 2- the rubber pads, though work well, to not stay seated well unless you modify (I adhered them down with silicone adhesive and it seems better). Also, read the directions on these and install BEFORE assembly (I didn't but made it work with a couple busted knuckles).

Overall, this is very sturdy, well put together, and holds kayaks well. The only downfall is that if your bed has a rail system, the brackets don’t work right. Mine can only be attached with one bracket in the holder for the tonneau cover. It holds it but I haven’t tested it at speed yet. I’ll edit when I do tomorrow. It would have been nice to have that mentioned in the product description. Now it’s been two months and I can’t return it. Crossing my fingers that it holds!

We needed something to take the kayaks with us camping. Instructions where limited but we figured it out. So far very pleased. We used our own straps because we had them.

The racks install easily once they are assembled. It is perfect for me since there is enough clearance to turn my travel trailer. No drilling is also a plus. I just drove over 300 miles with the kayaks loaded and had no issues whatsoever.The straps that came with my kit were adequate for the job. Very sturdy and worth the price.
