• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Nothing super exciting but very useful. I have had a different version of this in my truck for years and LOVE it. Simple device that holds your bike securely and allows EZ transporting of three bikes in the pickup. Also keeps your truck bed from getting bowed in front from the pressure of your front wheel. Sure you could build this your self but this comes all done for you, nicely painted and all the needed hardware. plus cool hardware like the long handled nuts making this a EZ install instead of a frustrating one. Very nice high quality carabiner / soft tie straps. Two versions, one for full sized and one for smaller trucks.

Email me if you want one. motosportz@gmail.com

$155 complete set (plus shipping) - Bar / tie downs / kicker (for third bike middle bike) / all hardware

Stupid question Kelly but how exactly does the center bike tiedown? Where do the tie downs go on the center bike?

I'm quite often hauling three bikes and the middle bike is a PITA!

Do you have pics with the third bike in place in your truck?

Will this fit Full size Ford Superduty?

The Long handle on the Nut is worth the price of admissions.... I've got Um..another product and that was a real pain...:thumbsup:
 
Might want to provide some more info about things like the newer Tacomas with the plastic bed (no metal)... and of course the Nissan.

I've got a similar product - there was no other way to tie a bike into a Tacoma that I know of. My 2006 Tacoma has little handles that slide on a rail but they only are rated for 100lbs which is not enough. Works awesome and that might be a surprisingly good selling item for you. :thumbsup:

The "Kicker" in the middle moves the middle bike back so the handlebars don't tangle and then you just tie down to the holes just inside of where the outside bikes wheels are, in those holes. So each bike has a nice angle on the tie downs. The outside bikes then use the eyes that mount the "kicker" for the inside tie point. It is super simple. will show picks installed.
