All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

The other thing with tailgate pads is they wear the paint a little bit where the strap goes around the tailgate at the bottom. I put some clear helicopter tape on my old truck and it did wonders for the paint

 

I had a local vinyl place clear bra my whole tailgate for the same reason.

 

That bumper is awesome! Was that swing out custom made with the hitch, and what brand is it?

 

Custom, at my request. That shop no longer makes bumpers.

 

Trip to Hurricane is gonna be interesting this weekend. Fresh snow was NOT factored into our ride plan. WTF Utah, no snow all winter then the ONE weekend I plan a trip, snow everywhere for the 7 days prior.

 

For real...you might be screwed just getting to a trailhead. Give us a report when you're back!!

 

Yeah, all those mesas are still good riding wet, but the roads up are always the variable.

Local intel suggests that the roads are passable, but who knows. Lower elevation around ZEN, etc were suggested by the local bike shop I called.

 

Bummer, that thing is beautiful!

 

Interesting. How much did it cost and how well has it held up?

 

Some sunday funday action.

 

Where did get the rack and what model? Looks awesome!

 

It's a 1Up. Not the cheapest rack, but they feature Land Cruisers on their home page, so there's that.

We have a 1Up trainer, too, which is how I first heard about them many years ago. I ended up buying one of their racks about 6 years ago now and it's been solid for me.

anyone have a new kuat nv 2.0? i'm wondering how they look on 3rd gens.

 

Took the plunge with 1UPUSA. Very high quality rack.

 

Which bed bars do you have under that tent?

 

No taco here, just bike.

 

It was ~$75ish I think. That was for a wash, debadge, clear bra, rebadge.

It has held up well so far, but I didn't notice any problems with my tailgate before doing it, so the difference is questionable. I did it as more of a preventive measure.

Anyone else into old school BMX bikes?
