damn sweeett rig
I heard those things run off quarters?
My 77 f-150. 351m that is heavily modified. Hasnt been dynoed but we think its around 400hp. It has 40's now, 35's pictured. Kinda sucks for gas.
And my usual shuttle rig/ daily driver. 85 ford ranger. Pictured its getting a 302 an upgrade from the crappy v6. It now has strait axles also.
Post some pics once the swap is complete....ty

and now with a cyclon pro on back
Ill make sure to post them or pm you when it happens. The 302 is in and runs but Im having axle issues. I went with full width dana 44 front and nine inch rear. The problem is my drivelines are too steep for my liking. I really need to pull the axles and clock the pumpkins but thats alot of work. My front driveline has clearence issues with my engine crossmember when the big tires are on and its fully flexed.
Get to the Trails!
A little beauty shot/self portrait (my ugly mug ruined it for the truck)...
The lowered phase...
And the big toy for good measures.
Here's my truck in Moab from last summer
Still rocking my '88 Econoline.
Like all these full-size shuttle rigs, gives you the option of bikes only, or bikes and lots of gear. Like the shot with the motos in in back! and the Line-X on the mounting hardware
We tried running 5 DH bikes off the back on the T2 until it died at Bootleg. mounted the T2 remnants onto a thule rack so we could run it low, unless we had a lot of stuff to put under it. Pics are on our way to Whistler, and a few races last summer.
Remember though, real shuttle trucks don't have spark plugs

I don't know if you have enough stuff in there haha. How do you like the cummins? I have a duramax I posted a while ago. Diesels are where it is at.Like all these full-size shuttle rigs, gives you the option of bikes only, or bikes and lots of gear.

Cummins has been great! Duramax is a nice set-up as well. Doesn't slow down at all on any of the passes out here in Colorado, even if we switch out the gear in the bed for a 10K team trailer. Diesel is the way to go for a full sized truck
My shuttle truck, 7 bikes on racks, plus whatever you want to put in the bed. Ready for US Open in this shot

No roof rack? Sheesh
I had something very similar that went over my tail gate on my old truck. It worked great until it busted. The local shuttling road is rough as hell.
This is my future shuttle rig.... 1972 Toyota FJ40..
And the power plant going in it..
Hopefully up and running by the end of this year!

You should just throw some wide bars on that and ride it down hill.This is my future shuttle rig.... 1972 Toyota FJ40..
07 Tundra Double Cab, 5.7L, 6spd auto, already put on a Camburg midtravel kit in front
Not sure what I'm going to do with the back yet, but new dampers are going on stat. The TRD ones suck.
Also not sure what route I'm going with the bike transportation in the bed yet. Could just use a tailgate pad, but those things strike me as very cheesy and overpriced. Could make my own rack, or mount wheel chocks into the front of the bed. Either way, needs a bedliner of some kind before any of that happens.
go back a page for a few options, tundras have alot of options, especially when you have the mid bed

Well, I saw that rack above the bed thing, that looks ridiculous.
I'm thinking of something contained within the bed, so a cable lock can be run through the bikes and hooked to the bed easily. Would like to avoid hitch racks too.

I got that on closeout, it has a "low" and "high" setting. 11 feet 6 inches in high mode as the picture was taken, it has locks on each pole where it meets the bed, a lock on each tray, and a lock on each tray connector. Another option as posted earlier was a universal 2 inch receiver bolted to the wheel well, and a hitch rack put into that.
What??
Inside wheelwell, got it. I wheelwell and thought under the bed and above the wheel, which would be a fantastic place for a receiver hitch. You know, in case you wanted a Thule T2 sticking 4' out to the side of your truck.
I've seen a few setups like that, where the tray is suspended over the bed, or put onto a tonneau cover, but it makes loading the bikes just as much of a PITA as using a roof rack on a car, if not more...and I am 6' tall.
I've got a couple designs in mind. Mostly hardware store contraptions.

Could have just paid grandma $5 and a coupon or 2 to drive... Thats classic....The beauty of having paved shuttle roads...

Finally found a way to take all of your bikes with you I see...My shuttle truck, 7 bikes on racks, plus whatever you want to put in the bed. Ready for US Open in this shot
Here's my baby
Atomic adam doing a preride juju dance for luck!
Can get 4 DHs in the back and 2 on the rack... Adding 2 more to the rack so I can carry 8 bikes and Circus clown 8 riders in...

I have 2008 Forester 2.0X just like this one:
With a 3 bike Thule rear mounted rack like this
Nice milage, rugged build, smooth ride and can carry 4 ppl / 4 bikes or 5 ppl / 3 bikes
