I found one of these at harbor freight. Problem is the back and forth play(wobble) of the goal post is doubled! That requires some type of modification. Also it needs another extender so they are not on top of each other.

I also use 2'' pipe ladder racks that look kinda like roll bars.
Truck supply place in Santee had them for $80 each.
I use a socket wrench with the hex fitting to take them on/off,takes about 5minutes. Needed some modifications to attach cradles to the 2'' pipe. Also, not quite as tall as the pic below, more flush with the truck body.
Still, most of the time I just hang the single yak out of the truck bed.

Rob's one side ladder rack is what I have on my tundra, I added foam pipe insulation to the crossbars that make it really easy to load the yak with no damages. The width of each section is adjustable so the yak is snug won't move sideways. Fasten with web straps.
