Nice find! Looks like a 900 pound weight savings. That is huge when considering a buildout!!

Certainly one of the more outside the box threads on here! You guys are challenging a lot of the technical aspects but what about the fact his wife is going along with this!!!!! Just curious, you chose no suspension for the bikes? Is that purely a weight and efficiency consideration?

Nice trip! But making me hungry!!!!

Ahhh, thanks! I saw some interesting designs on Amazon. This one has ladder sides and mounts in the gutters on the front and under the roof in the rear. https://a.co/d/8SAeAsj The one I have (just the mounts) uses the rear lift window brackets to mount in the rear. Perfect for mounting my...
