Will Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier be Able to Carry 1 Kayak and 2 SUPs on 2012 Nissan Frontier?

Question:

I have a 2012 Nissan Frontier King Cab, with a rigid Tonneau cover. I want to be able to carry a Kayak with out removing my Tonneau Cover. I also have 2 inflatable SUPs a that at times I want to transport inflated along with the Kayak , is there a possibility of doing that using this rack. The SUPs can be stacked , not sure if the kayak can be stacked on them or the rack needs to be wide enough to side by side the kayak and the SUPs. Help appreciated

The Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier # DTA944-968-924 may work for you depending on the width of your kayak and SUPs. The carrier's bar measures 48" while the rooftop bar can adjust from 45" to 60" so your kayak and SUPs would need to fit inside those dimensions. The carrier comes with one foam block but you can get more with the Malone part # MPG172, which are 24" wide blocks. You would also need a receiver lock such as # e98880 and tie-downs such as Cinch Straps # TH521 to make the system work.
