In the last 6 months I've bought a truck, tailgate pad and a bike and the first time out I realized the big security loophole that the pad is. I was contemplating investing in a full bike rack but I think this type of option is good enough for my needs.
Yes. It’s really just to slow someone down a bit for quick stops before or after a ride. A locking tailgate (which I now have on my Tacoma) is even better 👊
Yes, you're right. This is really only used for quick stops to and from the trail like picking up milk at the store. I just want to keep the lazy thieves 😀
Hey, I know this is an older post, but how on earth did you get a chain into an inner tube? I want to try this but they seem too tight to get around the chain?
Isn't it fucked that we have to worry about people stealing our property? I just had someone in my apartment complex steal my mountain bike from the bicycle storage room I bought a new, more expensive one, 2 weeks later and THAT ONE WAS STOLEN TOO
Dude I agree. It’s honestly so disheartening that you can’t put something in the back of your truck without the fear of someone taking it. In my opinion, people who steal things are the scum of the earth. The lowest type of life form.
italianrelic one does. This is just for piece of mind if I need to pop into a store for a few minutes. A determined thief will take your stuff regardless of locks😢

I purchased 4 of these locks and used it on a Tacoma 2017. I had to drill two of them to use the 1/2 inch stock bolts to the truck bed. I am very happy and great peace of mind.

This is great! My brother in law is always having to watch his truck when he stops by. This is the perfect system to give some peace of mind
Thanks! Nothing's gonna stop someone who really wants your stuff but it'll at least slow them down.
*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*
I never thought of locking down the tailgate pad. That's a great idea.
Sewing is cool! I sew everything because my wife don’t know how to!
Nice job on the set up!
2:57. That fitting is commonly called a Nicopress. Cool idea to secure the pad.
David Rouse Thanks! Works great 😁
What an absolutely brilliant idea!!! Thank you for sharing 🙏

The tailgate pad setup is a good idea
I used a big chain wrapped in a bike inner tube, that cable can be cut with bolt cutters, but its a good idea to slow them down

I put an apple airtag hidden in the frame
Great idea
Great video !
I love ur idea man
Sweet!
Thats awesome! I actually have been doing this since the beginning. Except I have 5 bikes. 👍🏽
Thanks! Still works great. It’s been on my truck for 2 years now👊

Sivy Yes it is. Not sure how to completely stop a determined asshole. Sometimes slowing them down is enough

My 3 pronged approach is:
1) don't stop
2) be armed
3) Happen to be in Texas
That'll do it!
Good idea !
DrunkandBike Thanks!
Hey Bro Start make them and sell it on eBay guys like me will buy them I dont want to build them but Ill buys them for sure. Good vide Liked
lol, thanks!
What about your front wheels I’m pretty sure those bikes have quick release on them

I usually remove my front wheel and keep it inside 👍
You found a pad for $40 bucks or did I mishear you?
Jason H. Lol, I made it😊

DAMNIT! I wish I had seen this before dropping $200 on a the Thule tailgate pad, then another $120 on a chain and lock.
