Who wants a diesel 80

If you want four you have to get the super duty double or whatever it is. It's built for two as the base setting. I've never had more than two so I can't speak to how four would perform. Not many tray racks can be rock solid with that type of moment so far from the receiver. The upright ones move just as much, though.

I have the super duty double with 2 add-ons.The 1up is awesome for 1 or 2 bikes. 3 or more bikes, a vertical probably works better. With 4 bikes it's a noodle, sticks out too far rearward, and takes lots of little adjustments to get the all saddles and handlebars/brake levers from rubbing each other.

The most popular vertical rack in Park City is Velocirax. I was planning on buying one of those, but it's quite a bit heavier than the Recon rack from 1up. I borrowed a friend's Yakima vertical rack last summer to haul 6 bikes and wasn't impressed with it. Anyone tried the Velocirax and Recon? Wasn't Recon another rack company that 1up acquired?

Y'all wanna sell one of those 1ups?

I do think 1up made the acquisition but can't find anything on the web. As far as flex is concerned I think you're trading the direction based upon the rack style. Tray systems will have a lot of up and down flex. The upright systems are going to get more side to side because of the pivot point of the moment. I don't know that I'd feel better one way or the other. The upright racks are supposed to provide a better departure angle offroad.

What did they do, a 2-stroke swap?

I know....I like to buy a lot at the start of the year and got a watermelon pallet full from Diorio Farmers Market in Brenham on the way to CS for a game last year. Lot tougher now but I can just get 20 or so sticks at a time now. Or borrow a friend's truck.

Trying to get used to not having a truck, how much firewood can I stack on here with a couple tie downs?

About two nights worth. Trailer is definitely your best option.

Maybe if you bought the $1000 pakmule you could fit more

You can fit three yetis on the pakmule.

I can't fit three yetis in an FJ40 .

This rack is very sturdy. My dad, a welder that has always favored function over form, made it for me around 2001 when we needed to pile 6 in a Durango for a college ski trip.

Hitch haulers were a lot more expensive then as you couldn't get one for $30 from Harbor Freight or WalMart.

Any of yall taken your LCs on the primitive roadside camping in Big Bend? Thinking about taking my 8yo and LC100 there for a few days this year.

Haven't ever taken LC but have a 4runner and Xterra. One of my favorite camping trips ever and I've done a lot. You won't regret if you like stars, seclusion, and amazing vistas.

Thanks, I'm excited to do this so hope the boy doesn't mind driving all day to get there

Do you have a recommended camp site? I was looking around on recreation. Gov

I did a lot of research and don't think I got any of my preferred sites. Last time was when you had to be in person only to get primitive sites booked.

I think Roy's peak was my favorite due to the extreme feeling of being in BFE without another soul for miles. Nothing special other than that and the views.

I've driven the entire river road in my 1997 F350 and camped at several of the primitive sites. I haven't taken the cruiser, yet.

Are y'all buddies or was this a legit random TexAgs meatup?

I'm taking mine to Ernst Tinaja in a few weeks with the kids. I'll report here when we return

I'm kind of getting excited for the LC/Baseball meetup weekend. My oldest wants to rent and RV and stay next to Olsen. I told her I'd see what I could work out.

I haven't heard of this. What are the details?

Ha! Had no idea. I own the pawnshop on McCart. Glad I didn't comment on your sweet handlebar mustache

I've transferred quite a few firearms through your shop.
