I need to get a bike stand

 

i understand, when I traded my 17 in, I switch back to the stock wheels and tires, the TPMS light stayed on, none read, dealership gave me a hard time about it at first, then the noticed how bad the tires where. The conversation changed to now we need to tires on it as well, I said yep and you can do it cheaper than me.

 

Looks good. I have the same two sets of wheels for our 4Runner. My wife is weird and prefers the stock off road wheels. The Pro’s have become the winter set.

 

My plan was to put winter on the stocks, but while looking at the pros, she decided the stocks won’t look good. So, I think I’m going to be looking to sell and get some more pros, or something else.

I’m just happy it’s not my idea. Oh and the chrome is starting to look bad on it now as well, according to the artist eye.

 

I’m also trying to figure out something with my rack.

I am pretty sure there is something I can slide into the slots


But I don’t have a clue what they are called.

 

Fortunately, all bikes do come with a free one, just put them upside down on the seat and bars.

 

Honestly, just find a bolt with the correct head size and slide them in.

 

like this dude?

 

I hadn’t thought of that, thanks.

 

Or, the correct part may be a cage nut. I googled square threaded washer and that popped up.

 

I just found these drop in t nut.

I’ve been searching around their site since last night, stumbled upon them while looking for info on bolts size that might fit.

 

Weird. I was just on their site for the exact same reason. The drop in T-nuts are what come from the factory but you can find a bolt that slides in.

 

This is what ours looks like with new Goodyear Workhorse tires. I think it would have looked better with the Pro wheels. They’ll be on soon enough though for our 5 months of potential winter weather.

 

I've done that
Not intentionally though...

 

I agree on the pros.

 

1/4" carriage bolts.

I'm actually doing some this week so I'll let you know if they work. The head goes into the slots on the rack and the threads stick up. That's how I'm doing it at least (putting some chase lights up on the back).

It's actually really easy with our racks. You take the bolts off the aft side, loose the fore side, and it can rotate and you just slide them in.

Supposedly 1/4" carriage bolts fit, from other TW searching I've done. I'll be getting some this week so I can confirm that suspicion.

If they do I'll put some wing nuts on my traction boards and hold them up that way. Right now they're held down with a cam strap but it works

 

The chase light I got is exactly why I’m try to figure out something. I ordered a few things from Sherpa, but have found other stuff since.

Crank puller sounds dirty, especially when you call it a tool.

@crashngiggles knows or has a link.

T nuts maybe
