- I wanted to show how I loaded multiple kayaks for transport in the back of my short bed truck with a bed extender.

Perfect video. I have a Nissan Frontier like you. I saved so much time loading two Kayaks for the first time by watching this video. Thanks a lot. I hit the like button.
Great to hear 👍 Glad it helped 😊
I can't believe you posted this video. I was puzzling about this exact scenario today, because I have an outback and my friend that I fish with has a lightening strike. Thanks for posting this!
Glad it helped 👍😄
Thanks, that’s really helpful info! I wondered at first why you had the Outback on top but now I get it after watching the whole video.
Kinda impressed you got all that boat into a Fronty. Got a friend with that truck, and I figured we'd have to use my Silverado if we both want to go, but now I see that if I can convince her to ditch her tonneau, we can use her truck. 🤣
Glad it helped 😊
Great video! At 4:00 I use a piece of old yoga mat to put between the ratchet strap head and the kayak. I have scratches on one of my kayaks when I didn't do this and the wind was blowing the head of the strap and moving it just enough to dig into the kayak.
I’ll have to watch out for that; I keep it pretty snug 👍
Good to know!!
Got a short bed truck, ordered this extender. Hopefully can get 2 moken 12.5 in the back. Trying to figure out how to maneuver that
A trick : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Lyric Nash Definitely, I've been using flixzone for months myself :)
Same here. Two new Mokens and trying to figure this out. Any luck?
@@mojodojo5533 load both upside down on top of each other.
I just purchased an outback for my wife and I and we both have been having so much fun kayak fishing. Great video and advice on how to load up these 2 kayaks. Are you related to the actor Matthew McConaughey?
Glad the video helped; others have asked me that too 😆
What bed extender are you using? I have a similar one but mine doesn't adjust to narrow like yours and I really like that. I wish mine did that.
I got it off Amazon; just search bed extender; it’s under $70 with free shipping
I just ordered two Lightning Strikes and I have a reg cab GMC with a tool box. My question is what tailgate extender do you use and where can I get one like yours!
Mine is similar to the one I posted below and then I just got an extra thick noodle. from Walmart to put on it with zip ties.

What length are your boats?
12 foot
between the outback and the lightning strike, which would you consider a more versatile kayak? I was considering getting the LS, but I went with a 2015 Outback fully loaded for like $300 less.
Both are great kayaks; you got your self a great deal.
The outback with the CT Vantage seat is going to keep you dry and comfortable for hours fishing.
I would have to have more time on the water with the Lightning.
I’m still not liking it’s turning radius.
The outback we have a bigger rudder on it.
I’m probably more comfortable standing in the Lightning.
Enjoy that outback 👍🎣
@@GetOutTheHouseGoFish thanks for the input! I'm picking up another 2017 Outback today with 180 drive. I'm just gonna throw that in my 15 since the 15 is already rigged. Great deal on this one too. $1,400. That'll be for the wife. She doesn't need 180 drive lol
I'm subbed now btw! Great channel!
Please comment link for extension
If your looking for a bed extender then just go to Amazon and search “truck bed extender”. I noticed some have increased in price but they are still under $100.
You can pick one up from a local Harbor Freight but I don’t think the one they have has the side arms👍
