Build My Mountain Bike Hauler

[davegonz]

My version attached to a stock center console. I screwed and glued them together. Painted with SEM Cordovan Brown.

Installed. I'll wire up the USB charging outlet later.

Nice!

I also ordered a hood strut kit off of AliExpress for under $30. The installation was a breeze and the quality looks good.

Last one for today. I have been wanting some lightweight rims for a while and my friend @aljollano at AJ's Yotas helped me order some sweet Nomad Field rims. I ordered 16x7 with -12 offset so no more need for spacers in the rear!

I also found a sweet deal on Craigslist for 5 255/85r16 BFG MT KM3 tires with Tacoma rims for cheap. The tires were basically new, too.

Off to Discount tire to get them installed. I love the new look

 

[davegonz]

Bonus. The wheels came with some sweet Toyota valve caps.

I now need to find some time to install the Dobinsons lift I bought from @crikeymike at Exit Offroad. He had a smoking good Black Friday deal I couldn't pass up. Mike also helped answer my questions via PMs here on Mud.

Nice work, Rig is looking great!

 

[RHINO]

255/85 is just natural on these rigs

Looks great Dave, have a set of those tires on my R1T and love them. That console is slick

did this use a whole kilo of filament?

 

[davegonz]

Ha. Maybe. I now buy 5 kilo spools of ASA.

 

[FJBen]

Gonna make any more or sell these?

I might be interested too

Well, I downloaded the original model and made some adjustments to make it work on my LHD truck. I don't think I can print and sell them for profit. I can share my version if that helps.

Well, it looks like it might be ok to mod and use commercially per Creative Commons license!

I worked on adding a place to mount an auxiliary fuse block to power the BMW seats and USB sockets. I ended up using two 8 inch 20 series aluminum extrusions and a small piece of 1/4 plywood that I had leftover from another project.

 

[davegonz]

This is how it looks in the truck. The tray insert will hide the terminal block.

I started printing out some extra center consoles. I'll get a batch of them ready and will reach out to those that asked about them. Maybe after the holidays.
