One of my better purchases.  It’s solid in the back of my long bed Tacoma.  I use a lock so I can leave it attached all day when I’m fishing. It’s light, it is rattle-free and it supports my kayak perfectly.  I love the unexpected bonus of making kayak loading easier and safer.  I can pick up one end and walk between the T-bone and truck with the kayak held closely in front of me. No rotating my torso or hyper extension to put yak on tail gate   For storage I hang it from wall hooks in my garage.  It’s super light and compact. 
 

 

That green is my color and I'm about to do the same. I've driven trailers and pulled boats all my life but I still subscribe to the "extra set of axles, extra set of problems" mantra. 

 

I'm getting a little put out pulling my kayak trailer. We had out TN KBF season opener this past weekend and it was on a lake I'm really not familiar with and quite a drive actually. I'm trying to get to where I plan to launch by 5AM. I'm cruising down the interstate in the dark and notice a lot of people are honking at me. Couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Then it hit me, I'm pulling a trailer. So I pulled to the side and my rear strap broke somehow and the tail of my kayak was almost off the trailer.

 

I've got plenty of truck bed and my Hobie slides in with my bed cover still in place. Plus parking and eating after fishing is much easier too.

I'm in the middle of tax season and chained to my desk but my best friend just send me a pic of a green one from Music City Outdoors just because of the color. He had no idea I made these posts or was thinking of getting one. LOL!

 

I told him to buy it and drop it off at the office I wanted it.

I’ve had my Boonedox TBone for two days today and I’m not liking it. For one the two bolts holding those two plastic end pieces on the crossbar were stripped right out of the box. They are 5/16 bolts and luckily I had a 3/8 tap and replaced with 3/8 bolts. 
 

It’s been in my hitch maybe 20 minutes and never on the road and I sprung for the Boonedox pads for the crossbar but half the paint on the thing is now gone. 
 

I don’t know if I got a bad one or what but this is the floppiest thing I’ve ever owned. I installed eye bolts in place of the stripped out stock bolts and ran straps from there to my hitch where the safety chains go and another set from the eye bolts to the upper tie downs in my truck bed. This thing still has 6-8” of play up/down on the crossbar. I can’t get my Hobie PA in the truck. It’s slid off and landed in the driveway 4 times. 
 

It has a TON of slop in a 2” receiver. I bought a reducer down to 1 1/2” but it won’t fit in. Is this an item where I have to strip the kayak down to a shell to keep it from sliding off? If so I’ll stick with a trailer. I tournament fish and go out and prefish by myself a lot. I don’t have the luxury of a helper every trip and I I’m not stripping the whole thing down every time I load an unload every fishing trip. 
 

Maybe if the guides were bigger than 2 1/2” and not flimsy plastic the boat wouldn’t slip off. BTW, it’s not a weight thing getting it loaded. Without the extender I can load it onto my tailgate no problem, but my tailgate doesn’t move. 

Bummer.  I try to keep my truck level when I’m loading. 

I took it back to return it at the shop a day or so later. No muss no fuss - however, they had just put together a kayak trailer for a customer and that customer decided they didn't want it anymore. 

 

I have a Harbor Freight trailer I converted to a kayak trailer but would prefer to use that trailer to carry my ATV on hunting.

 

So I bought the kayak trailer.

Sweet!  My wife wants me to buy a hybrid SUV and use a trailer.  

Ive been using a Tbone since 2016. Kick butt product!
