    It's fun and silly and rides better than you might expect from looking at it. The best use I've found for it is to carry a cooler around. Most other things I carry are small/light enough that I can carry them just as well in the basket on my "normal" bike.

    For real though, guy should've called it quits and disappeared after, say...5 million? 10? How many millions do you really need especially when you're embezzling it lol. Cut and run my dude

    Been racking my brain on how to organize our garage, I think I'm thinking about it too broadly and can't land on anything. Gonna focus on doing one section at a time. Saw these were on sale at Costco in person yesterday for $200, so ran out to get a couple for our garage to start organizing the mess. Fuckers were heavy as hell

    Right now we have a lot of totes/boxes that used to be stored in the attic of our old place, but the new house doesn't have attic storage so it's all been piled into the garage. Might pick up a couple more of these for tools and miscellaneous truck parts/stuff as well.

    Old office supply cabinets are great if you can find them for cheap Craigslist/Marketplace. Usually 18" deep so they don't eat into floor space as much, and they keep your stuff protected and clean.

    See if you have any local whole sale shops that resell pellets. The guy next to my dad shop always has racks for sale like that for 50-100$ msrp all the time

    Yeah I don't have much interest in suspension bikes anyway so some sorta rigid throwback or a gravel will work. I haven't a non-steel frame in forever.

    Anybody else into Vidmar-type cabinets? They're spendy new but sometimes you can find one used for a worthwhile price.

    Total beasts of storage, the size of a refrigerator, weigh 100s of lbs empty but can hold like 400lbs per drawer. Great for storing spare parts and seldom-used tools.

    I keep looking at this one but don't really have the space and don't want to deal with moving it. 482863153_4149358241966827_7596122169333_63e31027d7151021dcad574fb48c585b7fdaf541.jpg

    We upgraded to 3 of those last month, they are awesome! Can’t believe how much more we can fit on there than our old pos racks

    Hello old friends. I need some help. Can you guys send me pics of your 3rz tacoma engine bays? I bought a 1998 with an engine that was half tore apart and now I’m putting it back together. I’m mostly interested in hose/wire routing. This is where I’m at right now:image.jpg

    Bought the pickup for $300!IMG_3066.jpg
    I promise to be better about keeping up here… I got married, bought a house and acquired other projects… I’ve done some stuff to my 2004 including stuffing a badlands 9500 winch into the arb bullbar. Stay tuned for that some time in the near future.

    They are so useful. I bought one last month and overfilled it already. I just got back from Costco and picked up another one. They have them for $199
