Or look into seeing if one of those tire carrier hitch racks like the one on my old Bronco II....Yakima Treadhead or something like that....fits. Cool thing about it is you can still use it even without a tire.Originally Posted by neliconcept

how solid is the bike mounted to the back of the rear seat? I really like that setup but i dont want my bike rocking side to side while driving... does yours have much movement?
i think i may do the opposite of you and put the fork mount near the tailgate. i feel like the floor of the trunk is a better mounting surface, and it would also be easier to load a bike in backwards.
It seems like it would be really solid. I am just laying mine inside right now and it does not move at all.

everyone in this thread... show off your bike in the garage section of this forum!
Here's the Specialized Hardrock. Hardtail. Nothing fancy, does me fine on the trail though. This was when I got it a year ish ago.. It's got some miles on it and the reflectors are gone.
Room was an addition to the house and was never finished, so it's storage.
But, as far as rack goes.. It either goes in the bed, or on my dads home made rig.. Just some square tube cut in half for the wheels to sit and square tube in the middle for a brace wrapped in foam to prevent scratches and such.. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow and toss it in here.

I see there aren't many Tacoma owners with this concern.
I saw this mod on TOF a few years ago and thought I'd use it for my truck. I like have the bikes sit up and not sprawled around in the rear.

there is no movement at all. It is very solid and i have been on roads where if it was going to move, it would have then. Yes i considered the other way, but by using the seat frame (which is plenty) and then bungeeing the rear tire to the stock rear cargo tie down the bikes stand angled and you have a huge amount of accessible room in the cargo area. Rear tire in first was more of a PITA when i was doing mock setups and the handlebars get in the way more back thereOriginally Posted by garrett
