Hey there!

 

I got tired of my bikes getting scratched up when bringing along my wife and kid's bikes, so I made this custom rack.  Nothing special, just some 2x4 and paint, but it works great!  Fits under the cover too. 

 

Holds four bikes of all sizes. 

It comes in and out with no tools via some 1/4" aluminum "keys" I made that lock the rack against the tie downs.  I'll post some pics of them later-  I just got a new FatBike so the rack is getting modified a little for that right now...

Looks good, nice job.  Probably can't beat the price.  Are you concerned that the tie straps may rub the paint on the bike?

Absolutely, lol.  I can probably  cinch it down over the rear tire, maybe I'll try that. 

 I think it cost me 6 2x4's and some tie down loops.  Wood is so expensive now!  Last year the wood would have cost me 1/3 the price.  Still, I think I have like $40? in it.  Anyway,  still a work in progress, It looks a little too chunky to me. :)

I'll probably do a version 2 by the summer, but for right now this'll work. 

Thanks for the kind words!

Very nice set up there. I just have a 2x6 going across the front, fit into the prefab spaces for it on the bed sides. Then I put some fork mounts on the 2x6 to cinch the bikes onto. But I have to take the front wheels off every time. ??‍♂️ Your set up would be nice to just drop them in and go. ??

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?

      There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.

      The only problem I have seen this cause is longer crank times.
