Hey guys
Wanted to share this project with someone that may be wanting to find another way to mount their MTB/EMTB that does NOT interfere with rear camera, hence mess up FSD.
It was easy enough to throw the bikes over the tailgate, but that was always causing issues with the FSD. It was usually fine for one bike, but if you are taking more than one it became a headache.
Things I was looking to achieve:
Many people always recommended Ride88 or similar, but the issue with this was that it takes up a ton of space in your bed, and you also have to keep tailgate open when driving (disables rear camera). There were also some people that were using the Cybertruck Cargo divider and removed front wheel of their bike to secure to bed, but this is a huge PITA to do.
Solution:
The solution was a combination of parts that got me the results I was looking for. Took these on several road trips and they held up very well. I only used 3 bikes on mine, but you can definitely fit up to 4. I am sure there is some impact on range keeping bikes this way, but the tradeoff was worth it for me.
Crossbar has a 110 LB capacity, but you are not really putting that much weight on them since the bikes are sitting in the bed. I am using the D hooks on the floor to secure the bikes with Voile straps (in addition to on front wheel as well).
Parts List:
Hope this can help someone!

Things I was looking to achieve:
- Mount multiple MTB/EMTBs
- Does not interfere with rear camera/FSD still functional
- Does not take up a ton of bed space, so when not carrying bikes I can use that space freely
- Did not have to remove front wheel to mount.
