"Also is there a possibility of adding pipe to roll on?"

Throw a couple of footlong 2 or 3 inch pvc tubes over the "T" and drill in some bolts to keep in place

Pool noodle works well too

I have been hauling in a van with the seats out, palm to stay with the same idea. Leaving gear in and not lifting on to a rack has been great. Once the front end is up, it is easy to lift the back and push in. It tends to get pretty heavy with gear in though for that initial lift on to the bed or hitch. Thanks for the responses.

Look around, you should be able to find a used one for a really good price.

I have a Boonedox T-bone sitting in my garage not being used if you're interested. I used it on my F-150 to transport my PA 14 until my truck was totaled a couple of months ago. It made moving a big yak super easy. Happy to pass it on for a small rehoming fee. PM me if interested.

Have come across a used one yet, suggestions on where to find one used? Have not been able to get a hold of Lookoutdj.

Not to revive an older thread, but since I have the same truck as you I thought I'd share a pic! I have a Colorado short-box and use the Yakima bed Extender. It works really well for my Passport 12. I do have to put it in upside-down and I put pool noodles under it to keep it from scratching on the bed-liner. But it's super sturdy and I have no issues on the highways. The Yakima is a little on the pricier side, but I keep it on the truck folded up 24/7 and it hasn't been a problem.
Note: I did have to buy the padding separately which kinda sucks
