Where the hell do the thingees that come in each pocket go? No instructions.
Dakine pickup pad install

- Start date
Thanks Zark.
They connect to the Velcro to overlap the side of the truck bed and body to protect it from pedals and 'tards throwing their bike in the bed.
I figured out how they work but I still am not going to run them as I am not a tard of any sort.
I may be a nigga but that don't mean I is stoopid.

Thread resurrection.
How's the Dakine Pickup Pad doing? Good. Bad. WTF?
I am thinking about getting one but I've heard that dust gets inbetween the pad and the tailgate and scratches the poo outta the paint.
Either way, I am tired of having my Sportworks rack on the back of my truck. I have a quad cab Dodge and have a black diamond plate toolbox that sits in the bed and not on the rails.
Tying the bike down means it goes diaganol and gear goes around it. Me thinks the Dakine pick up pad a very good thing to have.

I'll sell you one for $40
I bought one with the intention of letting a buddy use it. He never does.

ive had one for a few months and its been pretty good a few points would be:
Pros: easy to install, black looks good, the padding is soft enough to let your bike sit into in and not move much, the "wings" work if you are cramming in too many bikes, it has saved bike/truck from tons of scratches, it makes loading lots of bikes easy and pretty safe.
Cons: If you tighten the straps too much you can rip them outta the pad(did it!), after using for a while pedals/ect may tear the exterior a bit, the hole for the tail gate handle may not be really easy with your truck as i have to reach down below the hole to open the tailgate.
thats about it, i got mine for $50 i think and it was worth it, i was happy with the overall performance, ive used it in wet/dry and there are no paint scratches under the pad. all in all it is a easy/quick/inexpensive way to load lots of bike in your trcuk and still have lots of bed space for people/storage

Thanks home skillet. I'll take it assuming it's for a full size.
Not this weekend. Baby's mama going to Vegas and I staying home.
I'll be up the 22nd through the 24th. I can pay for shipping unless you too tired to ship it.
Does anyone have the measurements for the small and large sizes?
Cheers.
Cheers.
How's about $55 shipped. That way when I come up that weekend, I don't have to have the rack attached to my truck.
Oi.
