Bikepacking DIY Front fork storage (no drilling)
I definitely have nothing against Blackburn, but I’m a cheap ass. I wanted something I can put my hydroflask in and a 5L dry bag and toyed around with this idea and here we are! Super functional and Easy to remove if I decide to go back to bare forks. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

    Well I stand corrected. I was thinking how stupid, they have a dog and he cant get up in there.....LOL....well that ramp was well integrated. I love this concept, and it gives me an idea for my 5x10 trailer. I carry my atv with it, and I'm betting I could do this exact set up over the top of the Atv! Long term, how has this worked for you? held up well? would you change anything?

      @lifeoftristy5673 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was the biggest one I could find on Amazon! I think it was $110 but it is nice that it’s aluminum so it’s super lightweight! The tote helps make up the difference on the height making it less steep.

    • @lifeoftristy5673
      @lifeoftristy5673 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually didn't have to! it was a 5 lug axle already and just wide enough to fit the bigger wheels and tires! I had actually ordered some spacers just in case but ended up not using them because the fit was perfect!

      We actually had to take the ramp down unless we were planning on going in for the night because she kept running up and dow while she had the zoomies. lol in other words, she loves it.

  • @velonaut303
    @velonaut303 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi. Any problems during towing with the trailer being top heavy? I love the idea, what is the maximum space below the tent (trailer deck to crossbars holding tent). I want to do the same to transport a dirt bike below the tent during travel. It would need to be between 52-60 inches to fit the bike. Ideally much higher to accommodate my RTT's annex screen room. What are your thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

    • @lifeoftristy5673
      @lifeoftristy5673 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The vertical bars are just over 40” and I have no issues at all. I added some extra bolts going through the side and the vertical post to ensure it didn’t sway and it works great and is solid. The tent only weights roughly 150 with all of our gear we leave inside of it. We drove it to Moab from Colorado and there were 60 mph gusts going into Utah and it held up great minus the cheap license plate bracket that broke off lol.

  • @axelshorts2958

    • @lifeoftristy5673
      @lifeoftristy5673 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It came with a 14" tire set up which could probably fit on a wheel barrel but I went and picked up some new wheels and tires that were a similar size to my car, that way it would be level for the most part while driving!

    • @lifeoftristy5673
      @lifeoftristy5673 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Treated ply wood and then rubber stall Matt’s on top of that so nothing would slide around. The ply wood makes it easy to screw in fixed boxes and I can move stuff around and you can’t tell where I screwed stuff in before because the rubber mats keep the holes smaller.

      They are 46 and a half inches tall! I measured it after I threw the wheels on to make sure it would fit in the garage door with the tent.
