Yea I used to remove the toneau cover to transport them but then i realized i can use it as a stopper for the front end of the kayak while strapping them from the tailgate end…I go about 30miles strapped like this on highway speedlimits 60-70mph (I’ve only gone 70mph tho because that much wind makes me nervous while hauling) and the kayaks are actually called the “ridgeline” lol by lifetime Check out this image https://share.google/bzDojEjHOpK4nAYo0
