Does anyone carry two kayaks in the bed of their truck?

I currently have a F-150 short bed with a boonedox t-bone bed extender to carry my PA14. I am picking up a new 2019 outback this weekend and I am looking for ideas on how to transport both without having to buy a trailer. Does anyone have a setup for transporting multiple kayaks without a trailer?

turn them on their side and strap them down
I've hauled 3 kayaks in my short bed Tacoma with a bed extender just fine

I bought a cheap contractors ladder rack for my truck. I hauled my kayak up top and could put gear and another yak in the bed. Heres an old picture of it

Have hauled 3, including a massive Hobie, in a truck bed at the same time. Just fit them in there any way you can and strap them to something.

Put the new kayak upside-down on top of the Hobie and strap together using your T-boone extender.

This is why I hate stuff sticking up from my yaks.

not to high-jack, but I am looking at buying a new kayak that I will have to transport on top of my 2015 4runner. My factory rails do not have crossbars. What's my best options? I will be loading and unloading it by myself.

There's probably youtube videos of people doing it.

You have options from all the rack manufactures, thule and yakima are the top two. Get some crossrails and a rack or just do like the FJ I saw this morning on the way to work. Just put a towel down on the roof and ratchet strap them to the roof

I'm pretty sure the PA & Outback can be stacked, with the PA on the bottom. Or atleast I believe that was the case with previous Outback models, not sure about the 2019 though.
This looks what I might have to do. I usually transport the PA14 with the chair and hobie crate attached, so I will need to store them now.
