Nice write up. The bed extender I use is a lot less expensive. If you don't need it to go above the tailgate you might consider it.

Also, you might mention the need for marking the end of the kayak since it sticks out past the legal length of the vehicle. For daytime, it needs a flag, for night it needs a light. Since I hit LJ pre-dawn I'm always driving down in the dark. I made up a bar with full trailer lights which I bungee right at the tail end of the kayak. That way if some driver is coming home from his party bleary eyed at 4 AM and crashes into the back of the 'yak, I'm covered.
