Hi all,

As thread implies these items are being put up for sale. I'll post more current pics tomorrow but I got all 3 of these a little under 2 years ago and have decided after much fiddling I'm changing things up

First up is the WILCO Tire Carrier with optional License Plate Bracket and Hi-lift/ Rotopax plate- Asking $600 OBO
- I got this because i wanted bigger tires all around and the hitch wouldn't allow me to go under the truck with it. I am selling now for a few reasons
- I would prefer not to have to swing out the tire every time I get into the back. Several have talked about it and it's just not for me
- I use bike racks way more often on the back than how much I actually need the tire carrier. I haven't found a non-janky way to accomplish with while retaining the ability to open the back hatch.

I saw all this to say for what it is the WILCO is a nice product that fits a reasonably void. It is simple and is completely rattle free even on Michigan roads.

The BAD:
- Has a very little bit of Michigan surface rust after spending one winter up here. I'll update pics tomorrow.
- The Steel braided lanyard for the pin gave up the ghost, I've been using 550 cord but once it's in it seats very well.

Next up is the TOYO's

I posted these up in one of Bowfins Threads I think mistaking it for a FOR SALE thread, but here they are again.

Had them on my previous 80 and loved them, but honest truth is that was more of a trail rig and the 100 has become more of a family hauler.
- Too noisy for me now on long trips
- I had them on for about 3000 miles prior to getting UCA's and I think I was maxed on adjustment but they still wore just unevenly enough to noticed on the tread bars.

Size: 285/70R18 x 5 (34.1 x 11.3)

I would say about 60-70% tread left at a minimum, have only wheeled a couple of times, no chunking

I'll post updated pics tomorrow

Price: $500 OBO

Last up is the THULE T2 PRO XTR Bike Rack with 2 bike extension. I'll be honest I have not liked this rack since I started using it. I was going to get the 1UP rack but my brother-in-law talking me into this. I think this is a GREAT rack for 2 bikes. It becomes a tank when you add the extension on it and I more often need more than 2 bikes on the rack.

- This including the extension and keys which operate the integrated bike locks.

The BAD:
- In order for it to fit on the back of the trailer I had to take off the integrated hitch pin. I prefer an actual hitch pin that goes through the entire shaft but the ingrated lock works well
- This is the model just prior to them adding wheels. Reason I say is because with the additional bike extender it ways over 100 lbs and becomes a 2 person lift (major reason I'm getting rid of it).

All in all it works great but I am moving in a different direction.

See above pics for the rack on the truck.

Asking $800 for the entire rack with extension.

@Blue Phoenix I'm interested in the WILCO tire carrier system. Want me to DM you? I have a couple of questions and don't want to clutter your thread.
