What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

1up bike racks. Solid rack. Holds the wheels only. So your frame stays clean (unless you’re always crashing).

 

Ha. My bike is so beat up - its 15 years old.

 

Wat

 

hahaha yea I have a 2011 bike I posted for sale and some people were complaining about scratches. I was like, it’s a 2011 mountain bike for jumps, drops, and rocks. lol

 

I was going to say, those are pretty welds... @Shmellmopwho makes good stuff. Even if he posts the same sliders over and over in the welding thread.

 

Ditto

 

That's not why I would tell anyone to get the 1up... I tell people the 1up racks are rock solid and not a piles of scrap metal like 99.9999% of other bike racks on the market that I see swaying/shaking/rattling behind every other vehicle.

Also, it is a good bed extender.

When I first got it, I was veeeeery careful.


Nowadays....nah. Now it has character.

 

My second ride on my $6k carbon mountain bike when I got it was in Sedona. The 1st ride there I missed hopping up onto a ledge and drug the chainstay across the rock. At least I got it over with early with that bike and I still ride it today - approaching 7 years old and the bikes on the market today are not much better for quality and lightness (24lb full suspension).

 

Using a bolt style hitch pin fixes that issue and takes the slop out of bike racks. My 20 year old Yakima rack is still rock solid.

 

Oh yea, they’re super solid racks. Made in USA also. A 5 year old 1up rack still looks like a new rack.

 

hahahahhaa!!!

you made me LOL with this one. It was nice working on something else besides sliders this time so that people could see that there was something else that I do.

 

Glad i posted! Had mine pushed in, no wonder my mpg seemed a little low.

 

The 1-bike SuperDuty that is the core of my rack is 8 years old. I got it from my friend who was rear ended and one side drug on the pavement at 60mph until she stopped. I spent $8 to replace one bolt and it's like brand new with a little less aluminum on one spot.

Can't say that about a Kuat or others that fall apart from normal use.

 

I meant the bike rack tray part itself. I can see that you welded the mount point onto your existing rack.

Is it this one?

How did You anchor the drawer/storage system to the truck bed?

 

Trying to find the Beavis and Butthead meme where they are in sex ed class and the military dude is in his face and he is trying not to laugh but is giggling...

 

No, they said the van trays. Two separate pieces.

 

Van trays? Does 1up sell that? Please elaborate.
