Yep, I do 33mpg this way..

Works great man, I love it. No failures yet, remeber youtube videos are delayed 2weeks in the past lots of things happened since than

Insane to genius is usually one step

thanks

I have over 30k miles on that setup problems

Awesome

Thanks

it works, ive done a 100 mile trip on it works great. a bit dissapointed with the mpg i gor 33 mpg, only same as the trailer at 75 mph , but at least i dont have to worry about the trailer bearings

thats why i did it , so i eliminate the trailer !

we will see how it holds !

Thanks

Awesome

Thanks

Cool. Yeah I wanted to buy one you cant find it for my car

You can do it!

Thanks

yeah that clamp works great !

Trying, but somehow I always gtt myself in trouble

well , this was the most complex work ive ever done. time will tell if it holds !

@@vegasromaniac so has it held ???

@@prodbybabygod7411 it did man more the 10k miles on it.. Zero problems... I impressed myself this time.

@@vegasromaniac that’s all the proof I need to build one myself. You just made my riding days 10x easier!! Thanks man

thanks

Haha, next video

Awesome, I knew someday somebody somewhere Will appreciate my insanity

Right ?

Thanks I see you found the video..

I just installed 2inch spacers, gonna try that for a while, they were 13 bucks, car looks good

Haha, yep and loved the guy..

Awesome let us know how it comes out

@@vegasromaniac It’ll be between this and fabbing up a small aluminum trailer, anything I do make I’ll make sure to upload something!

@@legodude19999 i just subscribed , looking forward to the whatever you come up with

Mine was the same before I added the extra supports.. So you can't get a 600 pound mount that fits, and if you can than you should be ok..

Yes, you can see it has multiple holes to hold it in place, so I can put as much pressure I want. Already did 70 miles on it, no problem

Yep and a lot of sweat

they dont have it for small cars you have to build it

Depends on the weight.. But I would say no

It was super ghetto, I put 3 pieces of plywood under.. No joke. I could lot find spacers. But you can buy bags that go in the spring and you can inflate them, 100 bucks

@@vegasromaniac Lol very ghetto, love it! .. right now I have the rubber spacers in the coils but it really does not help :D ... so yeah I was actually looking at the air lift systems

Good video though, cool project. And as you said, no video if you just bought a truck.

yeah i was thinking for a van for a while, but at 12 mpg , i rather have the car !

Thank you

Awesome

Yeah, it still runs strong today... Fits my Yamaha, my drz and my surron, also my ebycile... It's best thing I ever created...

yes adding brake lights and license plate ! and the bow is part of the construction , the side mounts didnt allign perfectly with the middle one

Just keep in mind a 100 kg bike bouncing up and down and loading it on uneven terrain can cause cracks and twists in the metal. looking forward to seeing the final product.

It's amazing ...compared to the trailer , better mpg and you can fot they drivethru

You can feel it, nit it's not bad.. When the car is loaded for camping, whatever I add in the front set balances out

@@vegasromaniac hey i was looking at this same idea what if you welded some small shocks and two wheels on a swivel if that makes any sense then right where you have the three square tubes.

I don't see whamy not, you must need some welding skills I guess

yes i alrelady ordered lights ill installe them on the carrier with the same connection i have on the trailer !

@@vegasromaniac wow, nice

not going to duck creek, crashed last week , cant ride , too hurt !

Yeah still have it , over 40k miles on it , no problem

I'm planning to get a van not a truck, but for now I don't wanna do 12mpg.. In a van

Which is true, but my 2013 F150 I get around 12-15 in town or city, 19-22 out on the highway

the only way you can do a proper mpg is at the pump, my neighbor har a prius that said 55 in the dash , we did the pump test, did 42, was super lying :D if you have an onboard, dont belive it , my work van ford ecoline e250 said 12.5 in dash , in town, at the pump did 8.9

Thanks

Asa am crezut și eu, da am ajuns în românia și e plina de prosti, toată lumea comanda chinezării de pe eMAG și nimeni nu mai știe care capăt la surubelnitza se tine

@@vegasromaniac da .. asa e inca sunt multi asa ..

Rangers are not 1500, I looked, at 100k they all burn oil people wanna get rid of them , you can't pass smog, and the Ford reliability sucks. Also they do about 25 mpg on best days, while with this car I can do 35, also the seats fold and I can sleep in the car away from the rain and no stupid tents

Even small trucks use a lot of fuel and cars are way more comfortable

I can drive thru a car wash washer them both

haha

that's why i have the second strap, if breaks will not get loose

Forsure. They love this type of "home made" / scetchy modified stuff. When a hitch or trailer gets built its not just me as a worker that draws up blueprints and starts fabricating. Engineers and stuff do all that as it all boils down to safety and saving lives. Sure you save 3 grand by not going and picking up a cheap used pickup. If your bike falls off because if shitty flux core welds and you get sued it's gonna be alot more than a couple grand. And the old ford in the background is worth maybe 8-10 grand. Not 40. And there's absolutely no reason why you would go spend 40 grand on a truck when you can easily find used pickups way WAAAAYYYY more than good enough, and safe enough, to haul around 2 to 3 dirtbikes. I'm not even sure why you would use 40 grand as an example because anyone who watches your channel knows 100% you buy cheap stuff / good deals. You don't go for brand new or expensive stuff. Anyways, hope you don't take my comment the wrong way. Any comments are good comments, just had to throw in my 2¢ coming from a welder wth a couple years behind the torch. By no means do I claim to be an expert welder as no matter what there's always more to learn and techniques can always be fine tuned. Good luck, it looks like in theory it SHOULD hold. But being that I can't see the welds for their entirety I can't say forsure. But hope it all works out and you don't lose your bike or injury someone for the sake of owning a small pickup. I mean you can find little ford Rangers or Chevy, ford, dodge cargo vans for under 2 grand. If you were really pinching pennies guarantee you could find a little pickup for 1000 bucks all registered and all insurance and everything still be under a thousand bucks. Good luck, see you in the next one buddy.

i have a trialer , that i eliminated with this project ... i travel more compact, my mpg is 33 , no truck can achieve that , specially a 1000 dollars truck .. will need repairs, and reliability is well ford and chevy ... and if i would get something that big i would rather have a moto van ! it if falls it falls, also there is the question where it falls, and if maybe if somebody hit it. But the same way if you buy one from harbor freight and it brakes 2 year later you are still liable and they are not, so that arguement is driven by fear , plus i had a strap just for that, it will drag the bike behind my car but it wont come off . How many times you saw somebody loosing a couch on the highway or a tire blow out, shit happens. my biggest fear is that somebody hits my car from the back and kills my bike !

My rack has lights on it installed lights on the trailer conector

You can get spacers z or you can get suspension bags Amazon has them for 100 bucks

@@vegasromaniac oh wow Didn’t know that Great info Bless 😎💪🏼🙏🏼

thanks

Yep is the consequence of having soo much free time

Yeah, it will make millions Toyota makes one, or even easyer, make a small 1/4 ton truck, like they did in the 80's

I learned to drive a road vehicle, off the road because I was too young, in a Toyota Hilux and Mazda Rotary pick-up. I think my grandfather carried eggs in them.

Those were the good days when slamm trucks were available , 1/4 ton truck would easy carry 2 bikes and gear at 30 mpg

No joke every other day if not every day

Absolutely, make my life so much easyer, no more trailer, I fit thru drive thrus, I can go to a restaurant, and I still do 32mpg

@@vegasromaniac thanks for the reply, do you have any pictures of it all fitted? as in under the car so I can see how it's all fitted. I'm hoping I can find someone to do this for me in Canada.

@@tomthorne7347 I have another video installing it, on my channel.. Jusg search around the same date as this one

@@vegasromaniac thanks I'll watch it now.

It's actually quite good, I haven't used a trailer in moths.

Yep I can do that..

Dude, Americans rarely appreciate my work , but I'm sure in Pakistan everybody does....

Yeah it's cutting close but yes also remeber the have margin bullt in these so if it said 300 can do 400 easy

Depending on the mods and spring swaps, plus gas, bigger rotors, the closer you get to the weight the more likely it will fail, better to have extra strength than to leave your bike on the street for some pounds of strength

Ed Jacobson Yeah, you could pick up a 4x8 trailer for super cheap

i already have one , but this is way better, i hate dragging the trailer behind !

Sorry no understand

Vegas RoManiac what is weight of your bike?and how high was it off the ground?.i'm from Brasil i like your vídeos. Thank you

it will hold man , i go offroad this way to the trial head and no problem, if the front wheels clears it the rear too

im adding lights and license plate, but for trucks you can buy this carrier and it has noting , still as wide still as long and doesnt have lights

it's a shame we're over regulated with these carriers in Hungary.The only option is a van or a trailer:( Treaba buna Omule :)

@@francisc0 yeah usa is the land of the free.. Haha

I have 10k miles with this and works fine I feel the same way almost as when I was hauling a trailer, when i load for a trip I do add heavy stuff in the front seat just to ballance the car but it's not necessary . Any added weight will change the ball ace of the car, but it's nowhere near as bad as bad mouth will say, remember the majority of people are uneducated morons that fear their own shadow, the same people will fear flying planes

@@vegasromaniac Thanks. I actually talked with educated morons - like physicists, engineers and what have ya.

@@cubul32 sometimes you just need to try it, math doesn't lie that's true but math sometimes doesn't get applied properly so just because they are smart and use math it doesn't mean it will work. On the primus I see a couple of problems, mounting points, you don't have them, and a class 1 hitch, even a class 2 alone won't be a enough. Suspension adjustment for a 400 pound bike is also a challenge so I would say no

@@vegasromaniac Yeah the math is fairly complex. I looked under my Prius and it seems like there are 3/8 mounting points for a hitch. I wanna do everything 100% custom - that's how I found this clip, looking for other (we must have a collective national madness).

@@vegasromaniac BTW, the spacers, did you fabricate those or bought them?

igazad van

I dont see why not unless you dokt have any mounting options

I have over 10000 miles like this with zero problems, also I have a trailer but it's anoying, slows me down and needs to be hooked and unhooked every time I go somewhere, more tork to back up, worse mpg, more things to go back as in flat tires, can get stolen, this is much better in so many ways

No problem, only 300 pounds, like a fat pass ger

Everything is legal, as long as it doesn't fall off

and do 12 mpg ... plus i dont wanna spend 3 k and the 3 k truck will need repairs .. guaranmteed

A little 4 banger Tacoma can get 25 or a bit more on the highway. Won't be 3k unless it's from the 90's or 300k+ miles. :)

@@jeffloucks2120 I doubt that the Tacoma on fuelaconomy. Gov it's rated 18_20, if you can find one

Vegas RoManiac I had an '03 2wd, ext cab (lacking the ground clearance that most all Tacomas have now) that I traveled in quite a bit hauling sportbikes to tracks. That site rates it at 21 combined.

I'm sure, eu has plenty of rules

Why not.

I've used them a few times. They don't seem to get very good penetration.

@@shannonelvey1574 on high and 16 gauge metal it's acutely to strong, it makes holes in the material

Why not?
