What have you done to your K2 today?

[6.2Midnight]

MTM Foam Canon is the only way to go. (I tried a few cheaper versions trying to sh save money, didn't work) I use a special conditioner for my ceramic coating, in between washes I use Jax Wax as well, they have a special soap for foam cannons, both are well worth it. I have never timed it, but I can wash half of my truck at a time with no issues.

 

Funny thing is, my brother sells both...

I quickly whipped up a bike rack for our upcoming trip.  I painted the 2x4 black after I had it sized up.  It keeps the bike steady and upright, and does not take up too much bed space, as you can still slide totes and other gear under the front of the bikes.

 

I'll have to tweak it a bit when I get a roll up cover for the bed later this fall.

I got the cheap foam cannons on amazon... kinda regret it... They do the trick but not what i'd like to see. I plan on getting the MTM soon.

 

What conditioner do you use?

What jax wax product?

The foam will run off about 3-4 min in (most of it). The spray nozzle is adjusted all the way to the minus side (less water, more foamy) and opened a little bit.

Using CG honeydew, with a dusichin foam cannon (supposedly the same as the CG foam cannon).

Washer is a sunjoe electric 2100psi 1.76gpm. it could be a dilution issue as well, I'm doing 5oz of soap to 25oz of warm water in the cannon.

I wouldn't think the finish is too slick. But I guess anything is possible!

I had the same issue you got... 

 

I picked up a dewalt 3400psi 2.5 gpm pressure washer and the amount of foam is ridiculous.

I'll take a picture of both later today, if I can crutch my way out to the garage, I'm still in a leg splint, and on crutches. I did get the arm splint off though!

I forgot to mention the pressure washer, you really do need the pressure/power to complete the whole idea. The key seems to be no less than 3,500 psi., that is just from what I found.

Yea there is no way around it... on the electric ones you just can't get the pressure up enough.

Rube Goldberg would be proud Ryan! 

Great Idea on hauling bikes.

I made a pvc bike rack that fits under the tonneau cover.

Ratchet straps seem sooooo much easier...?

Where did you get the steering wheel cover?  I like it.

I bought this at Canadian Tire *link*  http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/glovebox-steering-wheel-cover-black-grey-0326054p.html#srp

It is Glovebox brand

If just carrying my one mountain bike, I don't even use ratchet straps.  I just lay it in the truck bed. 

 

When I carry two bikes though, my bed is usually full of camping gear too, so it is helpful to reclaim some space under the bikes, as well as keep them to one side of the bed, close to each other.  Fruthermore, it is harder to find a place to put a foot down in the bed, and sometimes the cargo obstructs the tie down points as well.

 

There are 50 ways to carry bikes in a truck, each with pros and cons for each scenario.

I know the feeling, been hobbling around on crutches since 1 July.  Hopefully, I’ll get some “good news” on Friday, my next (3rd) follow-up appointment.

Here is the picture of the conditioner and the cannon soap.
