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

Luckily, I had a bed extender so the PVC rack worked out on my 01. It loosened up over time so I got a Dakine Tailgate pad but my old Taco's bed was too shallow so the bikes flopped around. I ended up with a 1up (what I have on it now).

 

I had no idea that colleges were looking at this. have a 17 year old boy that can launch his bike.... love to know more if you don't mind PMing any details on this... just thoughts. Web search not as fruitful as I hoped. Thanks.

 

I built this one. Accepts fat and regular tires. Got tired of getting my bikes blasted by salt, slush and dirt in winter when mounted on my hitch rack. I still use my hitch rack sometimes in summer, mostly when I go for a weekend or want bikes locked up. I do have a cable lock I route trough the d-ring, bed extender and bike frame for some piece of mind. Mine is short bed. I use a tie down strap not pictured here, as this was taken at first test fit.

 

Thanks.

I run dollar store binder. 1 binder = 2 fenders.

I think I used this template for fat fenders.

Modified to fit , then printed and cut out on paper first to make sure I like the size and coverage, then cut out from binder and zip tied. Front one works great and keeps fork seals clean, rear one is so so, but better than nothing and I like the look.

Never posted a video in a forum,not sure if that link will even work:/

Stoked to get my new bike soon though!

 

the one I am going to build is pretty much just like that! awesome job!

 

Awesome. Do you need to touch up that raw wood? Also would like a profile pic of the bikes so we can see make/model?

 

I planned to paint it, but never did. It has been in use for two winters, but to be fair, most of the time it is protected under the toneau cover. 2016 Norco Sasquatch 6.1 is mine, 2015 Felt DD70 is my buddy's. Schwinn Bigitty DLX I customized for my little brother is the one I'm most proud of. I think I got just about $300 in it including the bike and DIY studded tires and does everything the other two can (in winter).

i run the same set up it works great!

 

i found rocky mounts to be very expensive, $50.
i paid $13. and the mount is perfect.

 

As much as I like my new TRD Pro for bike hauling, I still love my old 01 TRD Off Road. We've traveled many many miles together.

 

Love me some Evil! If only they fit a water bottle, I'd be on one like white on rice.

 

i see these handmade looking racks a lot.
does someone sell them? i already have a kuat, but i want to ditch the rack idea period because i also ride dirt bikes and i dont want to keep removing it.
also if you get rear ended with bikes.. it's a big issue.

 

seriously....such amazing looking bikes....I have a feeling my next bike will be one

 

slow day at work today....so im making some new bushings and modifying my mount to work with the bed rail for my new taco and my new fox 36

 

The Calling and probably the new Insurgent will fit a water bottle. The Insurgents above are first generation.

Here is my Calling.

 

The insurgent is very similar to how I have my Bronson setup (160/150)

If I got an Evil to replace my SC, It'd be all about the Wreckoning.

If I got an N+1 Evil, It would prob be a Following as a more Trail/XCish 29er.

 

See I'm torn on this I had an awesome 2010 that I loved but i love the motor in my 3rd gen way better...
My old hooptie...

 

I love my 2015. Only drove a 3rd gen twice so I don't have an opinion.

If money were no object though...LS Swap like @dd.tt.tacoma on Instagram. He is a member on here too, just can't remember his username.

If I just wanted a shuttle rig, Ken Block has a mean ass Razor SxS with a shuttle rack on the back near here in PC. I've seen him drifting that thing up fireroads to the top.
