There are just some things you can't carry in a 5-6 foot bed

You will also become everyone's best friend when they need something big or heavy moved

Can't agree more. I have a newer short bed tacoma and I really notice the difference when hauling dump loads, mulch runs, etc. For kayak fishing its not too bad( I use the HF bed extender) and my kayaks max @13'.

A 5.5' box with the gate down is more than enough to throw an outback in loaded without a bed extender. A couple of ratcheting straps and a flag, and you're good to go.

For more kayaks, it's hard to beat the TrackOne racks. Here's my setup with 3 kayaks at Convict Lake last month.
