Bike Rack Modification


Just barely had about an inch of clearance from the garage door so I'm quite happy that it still fits in the garage. Now I have to see how easy it will be to mount and dismount the bike from up there.


Added the Yakima full bike rack. I had to take off the rear bar and put it on top to match the front since the rack would hit the back end if it was in the lower position. I bought the mighty mounts from REI which allowed the bike rack to mount directly to the FJ rack. It took a while to figure out all the options that the mighty mounts came with but now I can use them for almost anything from baskets to cargo carriers to snow mounts using the factory rack. I was also able to use the locks on the mighty mounts.
