Do you guys have any recommendations on lights to use for this? I was thinking of just rigging up some trailer lights for this but thought you guys might be aware of a system that came pre rigged for something like this.






Thanks in advance
Which Tacoma, CHP bases overhang on wheel base, your gonna be between 11 and 12 feet of over hang past the tailights.
Good Luck, Sheriff's pulled me over and waited for a CHP Officer to arrive and educate me, no ticket but I sold the kayak and will change how I transport the new one. I have a T-100 with a 6 1/2 bed and longer wheelbase than the Tacoma. Looking forward to hearing others input with this much overhang?

Is your vehicle's wheelbase 145.45 inches or more? Based on the CVC that was quoted earlier in this thread the limit is 2/3 the length of your wheelbase and 96 inches (8ft) is 2/3 of 145.45 inches.
