    Trying to get some ideas of what people are doing to transport there bicycles in their tacomas. I've seen the Toyota option in accessories, and I'm wondering if yakima, saris, and others make the same thing. It would be awesome if you could post pics of your setups. Thanks!

    I strap it down like a dirt bike, with the front wheel on. Seems to work well.

    Cortland that looks like a good option and much cheaper than Toyota's offering. Can you post pics of yours in use? Thanks

    I've done so many mods to this truck it turned out to be a Dodge Ram 2500! WOW was that expensive!!
    I use to use Swagman but can't w/ my much larger TT. But it worked great when I was towing my pop up trailer.

    I use Rocky Mounts also. They are quite nice, and you can store the moving parts inside the cab if you want to, which I do.
