I love everything about your BS BL -- nice job!Yes, connected the Timberline towers directly to the factory roof rack. I chose to do this because it allowed the platform to sit 5 1/2" lower. Otherwise I couldn't get it into my garage without taking the equipment off. I have a few up close photos of the setup in the posts above.
I imagine I should know what in the photo but I can't figure it out.
How is the bike rack working out? I'm considering the 122 if we go ahead and replace the Suzuki with 2 ebikes.

Thank you! I’ve had so much fun with this truck!
The photo is showing how close the Yakima kayak mount is to the top of my garage door. If I used the cross bars in combination with my lock-n-load I’d never fit into the garage.
so far the bike and rack have been amazing!

Glad to hear it!
I watched the video on Inno's website and it looked like there was some side-to-side rocking -- have you noticed much movement? It probably doesn't matter. With the motorcycle carrier I secured each end with some cable (it's on the back of a View RV).
I just glanced at Mokwheel's website. This ebike looks nice:

I don't want to derail the thread though, and we're not sure what we're going to do.
The HRG lifts for the Heritage Unlimited, Badlands and First Edition are slightly less because they are already lifted a bit from the factory. Same for the other brands. Adding a lift does not give you increased clearance for bigger tires. The rubbing is not on the top but on the inside sides.

Looks great in the parking lot, where's the dirt?, lol. Have fun with your build.

Not sure what your are trying to convey and not to split hairs, but the lift kit (on the stock tires) raised my truck 1 1/4 inches. I measured before and after. Once I added my BFG K02s it went up another 1/2 inch. I’m now sitting 1 3/4 inches higher than stock.The HRG lifts for the Heritage Unlimited, Badlands and First Edition are slightly less because they are already lifted a bit from the factory.

Trying to convey that adding a lift does not increase the maximum tire size and that the lift for the Badlands is 1 1/4 as you measured not 1 1/2 as stated. Just trying to make sure people understand. Many people think by adding a 1 1/2 lift means you can go equally in tire diameter but that is not the case.
