I wasn't sure where this thread fit best, so mods feel free to move it
After digging around on the internet for ideas for hauling a couple of mountain bikes in the back of the truck (with topper), I decided to come up with my own design, mostly because of what I had lying around for material vs buying PVC or whatever else. Some have made some very cool PVC bike racks though, and I may still build one of those to haul more bikes if the need arises... but I like that I won't have to climb in the back to secure the bikes with this one.
This is a quick mock up before I start to bolt it all together. Once I have it all together I'll probably paint it black to match the truck and I'll also be adding some rubber feet to help keep it from sliding around. I'm not to keen on bolting anything to the truck just yet.
Let me know what you guys think or any ideas you have to improve it?
