Cement Tacos let's see them!

It wont get any better with 285's. If your sliders are the running board closed in style then you already have the best bet for protecting the paint againest rock chips.

 

How does your bike mount setup look? I recently got a bike and was wondering what the safest transportation methods are

 

Some more from me

Nice looking truck!!

I cant wait for my UpTop racks to come in. Also never thought of doing a bumper light along with the roof light but I love the look so I might make that a plan as well.

 

do you have the uptop bed rack as well ?

 

According to his build thread the Mid Height Truss from UpTop

 

It's not much, but it's my baby.

 

Yeno that never even crossed my mind. We just came back from a trip which had fire roads and some pretty lose gravel, and I didn’t run into any issues. I’m sure a mud flap will help if you can fit it!

 

New shoes look good...

 

yes. Mid-height.

 

Switched out oem wheels/tires at only 200 miles for some new shoes! Method NV305 w/ KO2 265/70/17 C load. Loving it!

Looks badass. I have a bed cover so i’m looking at getting the Truss because it’s the only that will work with the bed cover i have

 

Sorry I missed your post earlier.

I have been using my bed. Works fine. I may consider the front bed rail fork mounts.

I have an older Thule, kind of a pain. Worked OK in the past.

And it just so happens, I ordered a Swagman XTC2 TILT Hitch Mount Bike Rack - I will report back on how that one is.

 

first 2021 taco.

 

what did you get to be able to install the bike on the bedrail? mines dont seem to have that rail at the end like yours

 

What fork mount is that?

 

I believe you have to buy a front header bed rail to be able to put the fork mount as the newer gen models stopped including it (for reasons I do not know). Ex:

From what I've seen in this forum, a lot of folks are happy with the Rocky Mounts: https://rockymounts.com/products/loball-track.html
I'm curious to see how a large 29er fits in a 5ft bed, I recently bought a Santa Cruz Chameleon. A friend of mine had that setup and sometimes he had to tilt the bike sideways to be able to close the bed gate.

 

Hardtail crew ftw! Nice looking bike
