I have a Voyager full roof rack. You could fit two kayaks easily and nicely side by side laying flat on top. Or - what I do - is stack them side by side upright and fit three across quite easily. I took the standard kayak "J" mounts and put them on the roof rack inside the basket part on a cross member about half way down the truck. I have two or sometimes three across. If you want a picture just let me know.

Throwing this out there just as another idea. You can get a hitch mount ladder or kayak rack that are adjustable in height so you can use your standard cross bars with the trailer hitch support on the back.

The other option I can think of is several people have purchase some van gutter mounts from ebay (under $100) and they will work on our disco with slight modification of the mount. Believe all that is needed is a vice so you can slightly bend them to the correct angle. Then you can drill a new hole higher up so you can move the cross bar high enough to clear our roof line. ebay link

I went with the van gutter mounts off Amazon. Found them powdercoated black and just had to drill some holes higher up to miss the cross bars. Works surprisingly well for $86.

Hi,

This D1 seems really nice! Can you please be so kind to tell what's the lift and tire size?

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide!

Regards, AF
