    Cradles or bags? Cradles I can get on Amazon with my Prime account for I think $74. Haven't looked terribly close at the bags yet, me and the fiance want to get kayaks and that'll also demand a way to transport them so I'm holding onto the money for now. Roof rack, Tracrac, bed extender and rope,etc,.

    I dont see it as very sketch. This forum knows we own pickup trucks right? That guy definitely has springs or bags on the truck to deal with the weight since stock trucks sag when two mountain bikes are loaded. The RZR weight is less than bed capacity spec'd by Toyota. Weight is pretty low in those things. I would rock that all day long.

    Both. My track sags BAD and I need to correct it. I'm thinking bags is the way to go.

    Appeared a little sketch is what I meant, couldve had it chained to the truck frame for all I know. Didnt want to follow behind him, either way. Just as easy could've been some peckerwood who just set the brakes and left it loose.

    Makes sense. I guess telling the techs that it has airbags before they wheel it onto a lift is CYA enough that if it tears a bag it's on them? lol

    My truck isn't offroaded (prerunner), I'm wondering if a leveling kit will be fine anyway at cheaper cost than bags.

    If you look closely, you can see that there's stuff in the passenger area. A cooler and something else. Hard to know how it's secured.

    The other thing you'll see is the weight that would be on the gate is carried by the trailer hitch. That's a good thing.

    I say sketch. Because the load is not contained within the bed. Whether the truck is capable of carrying the load is irrelevant to me. What matters to me is whether or not the load or any part could come out of the bed-whatever the reason and that could happen if it's not properly restrained and that's what makes it sketch. IMO.

    Cooler and bag of weed(?) were not secured. Interesting picture anyway, I thought it was amusing.

    I was directly to your left at the intersection. On a bicycle, you probably would have thought it weird if I waved to you lol.
