LEGAL QUESTION FOR TRUCK EXTENDER PEOPLE - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

after a few minutes on the phone with chp codes 35410 and 24604 apply. the support doesn't add "length" not already permissable by law. 2/3 wheelbase is max, if 4ft or more, red flag 12"x12" square for daytime and lamps for night. the bed extender or like device doesn't give you the length the longer wheel base does.
i was specific about kayak transport, and there is also code for front hangover length and view obstruction rules. i could go roof, but i'm not very tall the truck is.
he said as long as it's not obnoxious and not in violation of any other codes, you should be ok. i've always loved those words from an officer; 'you should be ok'.
hope this helps.
