    Good morning guys,

    I'm looking for versatile and solid roof rack recommendations for someone carrying 2 kayaks, or 2 stand up paddle boards. One of the reasons I purchased my TRD OR Taco was to enjoy nature, but I'm totally green here and would love to hear your thoughts. We live in Greater New Orleans area now, but we are moving back to the Mid-Atlantic in September (Southern Maryland). So if you have kayak recommendations as well, I'm open season. I was going to get the roof rack now, and for Christmas treat my wife and I to kayaks.

    Thank you in advance...
    Millsy

    I love it. Barely any wind noise, tons of accessories, and no lead time!

    Do you have anything between the boards and the prinsu or do they just sit flush on cross bars. Also not sure if you know but wondering if the prinsu with light bar would affect boards sitting up there?
