So I whipped this bad boy up. Made from 1inch square stock. I couldn't find a foam pad long enough so I took a pool noodle and wrapped it in some nice abrasion resistance fabric I found at Joannes. The bar cost about $24 to make and the pad was $8. For $32 and some of my time, I'm pretty happy with the results.

Excellent idea!
Just wondering how long your kayak is? It looks like a PA, but not sure if it's the 12 or the 14? I have an Oasis tandem, which is 14.5ft.
Does the front of your kayak rest IN BETWEEN your seats? I guess I'm just wondering how much length of kayak is inside and resting on the truck bed+liftgate+extender, and how much is hanging off the back.
Thanks..
