Hi Sandy,

I have no experience on commercial pick up racks. 

I would place a Yakima bar over the pick up roof, which Juan can get in México, then I would place a frame with hinges, that can be removed, on the back square holes of the pick up. I´d place a vertical bar on both horizontal bars, to carry the kayaks on their side.

I am sure there are very good commercial options.

Best Regards,

Rafael.
