What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Is that arm supposed to grip the top tube? My Thule of similar design grips the front tire in the v between the tire and fork stanchions.

Yea I don't think that's quite right. Bay you need to put the arm with the bend on top on your front tire next to the shock I think. Edit: Just watched the video - and you got it right! I am like Quentin and every one I have looked at used the tube to lock the tire but yours have the lower rim anchors where most do not. Nice! Have you rode it much yet?

1E, Rode a few easy trails up at Red Rock and just bought the wife a cruiser for Christmas (Hence this type of bike carrier as her bike has a super low top tube)
I'm digging the 29'r and I did what you suggested, got a good frame as a starting point and then change out parts as my experience get's better.
 
Installed my Baja Rack then went for a drive, only to find out that my favorite access route to the river is closed until spring :mad:

I just spent the last three days in Truckee, CA and we've been walloped with non-stop snow for the lasts 60 hours.

First time with the truck in the snow and it's been terrific. I think it's even better than my old diesel f350 which was a snow beast.

Stop dunlop tires work surprisingly well and I got to try out all the different 4x4 modes and the rear locker. Pretty cool!

Oh yeah, I skied 3 days too. I guess that was fun. =)
 
Installed an early X-Mas present from the wife. It is the console vault. The fit and finish is great.

Went and played with the kids in the snow, I'm glad I don't live where it snows a lot as the salt and stuff on the road makes for a very dirty vehicle.

Looks fun, you need to ditch the massive antenna.....check out my stubby in the picture above, I love it.
 
I went for the "hammered" look on my rim paint. What do you guys think?
