Send Jim Day a PM with the question. He is a wizard at working with metal.

You could install some brackets to the truck bed which would allow for the easy insertion and removal of some roof rack bars, (Yakima or Thule). The J-racks could be attached to those. Even better, mount the bars to the top of the bed sides. Your big yak would be carried the way it is now. The second, (and third) could be strapped to the bars.

In case you are interested, I have a set of J-racks that I could be persuaded to part with. Mine are from Yakima.

When you figure it out, you should post your project in the Innovations thread for everyone to see.
