That's awesome! Try doing that with a Wrangler!
Pictures like these make me feel much better about selling the Wranglers to get a Gladiator.

Just finished a week at the beach, had the doors and top off the entire time, it was certainly a refreshing experience
Pulling the doors off now. The roof is going to stay on unfortunately. Darn rain covers were backordered. Black leather baking in the sun wouldn't be fun.

I'll take some close up pictures, but I started with these Inno bed rack that I bought with credit card points and then I had some custom brackets made for 80 bucks so I could close my bed cover. I had Inno square cross bars from my F150 roof rack.

I just did a trip with a setup very similar! Believe we bought the same bike mount on your crossbar setup. Looks good. Amazing how much you can fit on the back above the bed. Sent a pic to my dad and he said the same about The Beverly Hillbillies LOL

How many people you hauling? You planning on leaving your doors at home for the week? I’d consider leaving my doors if I was at a condo. I don’t think I would if I was at a hotel with public parking.

@Doolin64 where did you find the wheels for the cargo carrier? Showed it to wife who takes the kids to the beach solo sometimes when I'm at work and now she wants me to make one for our carrier! :facepalm: Should have known! Hahaha. Any help would be appreciated! :)

I don't quite understand how you managed to tire out the last bike...When my friends and I go out for a bike ride, we have a maximum of two bikes. I'm just afraid of damaging it if there' more of them. I, of course, prefer to ride in the mountains and sometimes ride on the plains, but I don't like to go to the beaches. After all, you have to shake the wheels off the sand there anyway. I prefer the beaches for a regular vacation. By the way, probably someone might be interested - I've been to Losaltosresort.com, a great resort, the area is very conducive to cycling.

Downsizing from an F150 cause me to rethink how I pack the truck. I had to get creative packing all our junk for the week. We looked like the Beverly Hillbillies but we made the 3hr drive with no issues.
