Yes, you can get rack systems that allow you to stand 1 or 2 yaks on their side supported by your factory racks.

So How does this work? DO i have to buy a new rack system and place it on top of my factory rack or just get tie downs ? Any advice?

dicks sold me a a kayak that was not sealed right, it took on water and i had to swim back a few miles. Lost a lot of gear and then they were dicks about it. I would not buy anything from them.

There goes all the good that Dick's 50k monthly advertising budget had achieved. It always amazes me when an organization does things like this. Bad customer service will be remembered long after the memory of that splashy full page ad or some great deal you got at a sale.

Companies such as Costco, Nordstrom and Kohl's have gotten the message. It is no accident that they among the most successful businesses in their categories.
