Those look like some badass bikes you got there. Who are they made by? Or did you piece them together?
The Frames are by Banshee called Spitfire, I pieced the rest together with a few components from our last bikes but mostly new stuff. They handle like a dream, rail corners, pop over chunk. We had Santa Cruz frames before but like these so much more.

They look freaking awesome! Not too many mountains here in Louisiana but I sure would love to have a high quality mountain bike.

I was worried the transfer tank (for my equipment) wouldn't fit well, but it does. Just need to install the quick connect wires yet.

I added 260lbs of sand and gravel (bagged) to help stabilization. Combined with the 90lb rubber mat that makes 350lbs of weight. It has helped tremendously over just the mat

I decided to turn the compartment underneath the rear seat into something useful...;)

I ordered a solid 1 inch piece of foam and a 3” piece of 1/2” perforated foam.

There is about a 1” bump from the plastic container to the floor so I took scraps from the base layer and fitted it into the space to level out the area.
Then I took the 1” solid foam and fitted it into the space.
Finally I fitted the 3” foam into the space to create a space to allow me to pull out segments to fit my toy... Final pics to come later but here are the initial pictures...
