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

If you ever do trips up to Canada you'll most likely want Trailforks, MTBproject seems to be very hit or miss depending on area

 

Just checked my area.

Trailforks: 518 trails listed, MTB project: 2 trails listed.

 

I never had good luck with anything but Trailforks.

It does help that it was originally developed here in the SLC area, so damn near every trail in a 300 mile radius is mapped pretty thoroughly.

Pretty easy to figure out market share with numbers like that.

 

MTB project is great for Colorado. Iirc, their hq is in Boulder.

 

That makes sense, tons of trails in my area (boulder) and the whole front range. 1106 front range, 1240 Rocky Mountain region.

 

Speaking of, Hall Ranch tomorrow morning. Maybe.

 

Now that I got my truck, I just need to figure out how to organize my gear under the tonneau. I'm thinking bed mat plus cheap rubber bins. Anyone have any suggestions on how to carry gear in the bed under a cover?

Dang, would have totally met up if I saw this earlier. I went up to Heil today.

 

Hall was perfect. Thinking of Red Rocks to Matthews Winters to Dakota Ridge tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks. We will still be using the truck for hauling furniture (my significant other likes to restore furniture) so the shelf system is probably out. I ended up getting a bed mat plus some plastic bins.

 

where did you get those? or did you make them yourself? I am looking for something just like this.

 

One of the better overland/bike setups i've seen in a while. I have some envy going on here.
Great lookin rig.

 

I have one but it's on a 2nd gen. Not really giving you any help but they are solid racks. I use a ubolt to keep my secure to my truck as most pin locks can be popped off easily including the one that comes with the kuat.

Mine was actually stole off my truck. I emailed the company telling them so, (I don't live in high crime area) a rep and then owner emailed me back and within a week sent me a brand new rack. The best customer service I've had in a while. Props to KUAT!

I got the no rise set.

Talk to Tony @Skell , he can assist with any questions and anything you might need custom.

I got these on the group buy. It’s closed now, however. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/kore-bed-bar-group-buy-closed.527230/

 

Here's my 5010 after a quick ride. Sold the 1st gen and picked up this 2nd gen taco a few weeks back.

 

Those bikes look sick AF and they just (recently) drop the price by 2K

I'm missing the dentist license thing. Is there a loop hole for international ordering or shipping?

 

Didn't get to post this a week or so ago, but got a ride in on our local trail a few days before they opened the Bonne Carre Spillway. Full rigid 91 Breezer set up 1x9.
And got to put the truck in 4H and 4L for the first time in the dirt.

 

Sick bikes bud. I have been wanting to get a PUSH shock but it wont fit on my bike.

I guess thats a good enough reason to buy a new bike right. (justification to self)

 

I currently use a Swagman bike rack in the hitch, but I can't drop the tailgate flat due to the wheel holders on the bike rack hitting. I have 2 Rocky Mount Brass Knuckles roof mount (cross bar) bike racks as well and would like to have some cross bars for the bed that would allow me to also use a soft tonno cover. I know I could switch the Swagman out for Kuat or 1UP bike rack and be fine but I don't need another hitch mount bike rack. id like to have it so that my tailgate is accessible at all times.
