maybe i will, idk the fork mounts are SUPER stable, i tested it with an old bike and took a hard turn, no worries there i dont use tie downs whatsoever with this set up

haha idk about the roof rack, its money i dont need to spend ya know? its tempting tho

Looks sweet, i would also fab somthing up that would go about half way up the back tire to prevent it from falling side ways that way you wouldn't need tie downs or anything, i'm looking for a extra axle for a bike so i can dot it to my truck soon. I'm moving to wyoming for the summer and want to take my road and mtn bike by doing it more bed space. Thanks for the great idea

and do the roof rack you use it twicea year but it looks kick ass the whole year

im satisfied!!!! thanks for the extra push, its done! didnt use a u bolt tho, take a look at the thread

http://www.fordrangerforum.com/vehic...tml#post866919

and since the thread ends at a certain point, i doubt its short enough to stay in one place, i might put it between the two pieces of wood so it stays in one place

i think what im gonna do is get a upside down u bolt (they come with bars that go across the u bolt) and i can put the tire in the center of that, put the little metal piece over it bolt it down lightly. ill get a long one. like

the reason is because i could in theory use the board for other things and putting your rack on it permently might cause problems HOWEVER, i plan to maybe copy your idea and make my garage rack since mine is made of spare pvc parts so it looks like shit

I don't think so, but the again my GF thinks i'm crazy throwing all this money in a truck with 133,XXX miles lol, But i want my truck to represent what i do. (wildland Fire). Just make it you. if you like it go for it, if your weighing on the idea weight it out. hope this helps

do you think im overdoing it for a rack ill use like...twice a year lmao
