Show off your tailgate pad on truck

I use a harbor freight moving blanket that costs $5 accompanied by some motorcycle tie downs. It works fine for a couple bikes and solves the issue of how to carry carbon full suspension bikes with a camper shell. The next best option is a real hitch rack that will cost a ton and require installation and removal every time you want to ride. I have one but it sucks taking it on and off for every ride.

 

Nice!

 

These are cool and all but these type of tailgate bike carriers are like having a bull bar for the rear of the truck. In minor fender benders, the bikes become damage multipliers. You'll end up with damaged bikes along with a damaged tailgate.

 

This thread has some cool ideas : https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/mountain-bike-carrier-ideas.688081/ it's applicable to any gen.

 

I don’t have any issues with my retrax pro mx

 

Who makes this pad? Sick and tired of having my backup camera covered.

 

Fox Overland Tailgate Pad. Highly recommend!
