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

just registered easy peasy.

 

what category did you sign up for? sports men?

 

heck no, man. LoL

Beginner Men’s. Imma be out there trying to knock it down with my DH Evil Wreckoning if I can’t convince my LBS to let me demo something that weekend. Lol

 

Y’all better go roast this man

 

Okay I'll try... I guess if you have a motor doing the work for you a water bottle that small will work.

 

If there is any dust or any vibration, you know, like any dirt road, scratches occur. On the tailgate itself and the on the downtube, fork and worse, fork tube.

Maybe in moist climates, like PNW, it's a non issue, but in the arid west, i see them as having limited value. Especially if you are picky about taking care of your shit, and I recognize that I'm that guy. I wash my bike after every ride.

 

thats how we did it when I used to ride bmx but we’d use the floor and a helper. Needed to do it a lot

 

leaves the bikes exposed to prying eyes and weather.

 

Tailgate pad gang checking in. Never had any issues with wear.



Middle of one of the jumplines:



Is the picture troll satisfied?

 

I too run a tailgate pad, no issues.

100% the overall best way of hauling bikes, don't @ me.

 

I can see where a tailgate pad would bother me with swirls/scratches on the tailgate over time. But I guess as long as you’re careful about placement and wax your shi*t you should be ok.

 

It's a truck not a ferarri, if it's that big of a concern just get a big ass clear paint protection film thing and let 'er rip

I just don't want to have it hanging out in the bed for all to see as I'm camping overnight, and the soft topper keeps it dry. AND it's multi-functional, can be used for things other than just putting a bike in the bed.

Looks like the name brands Race Face/Dakine/Etc range about 150-200 or so. I got my topper used for 500, so yeah more expensive too, but as said - it's multi-functional, too!

 

dang thats a hot setup!

 

Seeing everyone modified trucks makes me want to cutoff the steps or remove them entirely.

Eventually id like to have a shell and some bed mounts.

 

Bro dozer and soft taco

 

getting ready to head out to enjoy some unusually nice Wisconsin spring weather

 

And I came here to see at least one truck on Tacoma World without mallcrawler traction boards - alas I failed

 

We're still waiting on pics of new DH bike.
