Thanks for the positive remarks on my posts.

My thinking is along the lines of Jumpstreets comments.
I decided to leave my kayaks (13.5 Ft. 50 Lbs ea. x 2) on the TVs, a Toyota Highlander o a Toyota Tundra.

If you transport the kayaks on top of your TM, you will need to get them off the roof before you set up. Unless you plan to put in right at your campsite you're back to loading the kayaks on your TV anyway.

the "rackwarehouse.com" offers a Thule (Roller Coaster $116.00) and a Yakima (Hully Rollers $72.00) options that allow you to roll your kayak onto the roof of your vehicle avoiding ever lifting 100% of your boat weight. They also offer a step that goes over your vehicle tire so that you can have better visibility when tying down your yaks.
