RAGE ROOF RACK MEMBER #2
i never understood how you get up on top to put the bike anyway, its way too high. just get a standard bike rack for the hitch and be done. you are talking about swaying, it cant possibly move in the hitch that much. i would like a good way to have a roof rack and receiver rack loaded up for the beach and be able to carry 3 bikes. maybe i need a trailer.

Swaying is an issue. BUT I am going to get a bike rack for the hitch.... that's what this thread I'd about lol. Almost every bike rack on the market comes with a hitch mounting method to prevent sway/jostling of the bikes; so that's a non issue. I was only saying that would be an issue if I built my own.
Again, the main point here was getting others opinions on which tray style hitch racks they've used. We have quite a few mtbr's here so I figured some of the guys here have used some of the racks I'm looking at. For example there is a tray style rack pictured in the "post your mtb photos" thread. I believe that was the Yakima Stickup....
Oh, and FYI the way I'm setup is:
hitch hauler off front receiver for cooler/food
Bike rack off rear receiver
roof rack for other cargo
I'm set for some good trips.
having a front receiver will come in handy. im looking at getting a pop-up now so my whole cargo plan will have to be rewritten.LOL

I hear that.... I'm still missing my crew cab pickup truck with the load bars above the bed. That was nice, left me all the bed space and the receiver for towing the boat... (old mans boat)
I use the Thule 954 Ridgeline - carry 3 bikes no problem - no 29'ers tho. The only thing I don't like about it is that the back up sensors alert all the time when in R (so I need to turn them off). I perfer Thule over Yakima becuase no one pronounces it correctly

I'm think'n about doing a Hurricane MTB run tomorrow, lol. 50-75mph winds and rain, over treacherous terrain, roots, branches, boulders and rocks, several valley's and dips. The entire trail ways will probably look like creeks. It will be dangerous but also VERY fun (and possibly stupid) but still very fun.
