Glad you think so!

You bet! New review coming soon for the Cargo Carrier!

Me too!

Glad you enjoyed it

good to hear! I think you'll be very happy with it.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hey there, I’ve considered it but I believe it only locks into the wheels and not through the frame. Being that the frame is the part I’m most concerned with being stolen I just use a cable and fish it through the frame and wheels and then lock it to the truck :) also?

@@GetBusyLivin Thanks for the response. I just placed my order today! No more laying the mountain bike in the bed of my pickup. Now I can actually take it camping with me. How do you clean the rack after a long dusty drive? Just hose it off, or take soap and water to it?

Soap and water if I’m doing it at home! Otherwise I usually wash the bike, rack, and truck all at the same time through a self-service car wash

You'd want to upgrade to the heavy-duty rack for that! It's rated up to 65lbs per tray. 1up-usa.com/product/2-heavy-duty?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwk8e1BhALEiwAc8MHiKNm7Uscl13555SfrIO_4W4O57DxUQvZrW7nzHazpGsBS_CgFk39yRoCcDEQAvD_BwE

It does block the rear license plate but I've never been pulled over so not sure they care. Especially here in CO, I think it's so common they ignore it. Also, when bikes are loaded I can't imagine it's easy to see the plate. Regarding the one single vs double, if you plan to always have bikes only on the hitch rack, I'd recommend the double. The only reason I bought the single was because I used to have an FJ Cruiser and when fully tilted up it would block the door from opening if I had a double and I couldn't fully tilt it. So I purchased a single rack for my bike, and then a crossbar roof rack for whenever someone else wanted to join. However, another great thing about these racks, I was able to use that same roof bike rack as my add-on hitch rack later once I got my truck. All that to say, I think 2 on the rear hitch is the way to go. Very easy to load and unload

@@GetBusyLivin Thx for the feedback. I drive a Mazda CX5 (small SUV). Would I be able to open the hatch without moving the rack? Does the same key fit all locks? Do you recommend the 2" HEAVY DUTY DOUBLE...to hold 45 ib e-bike and 15Ib gravel bike and do I order direct from 1up-usa?

@@Drostvideo with bikes on you would only be able to open with the rack tilted all the way down. Without bikes, you could definitely open the hatch but likely not with it tilted all the way up. The rack supports 50lbs per rack so should be sufficient for your e-bike, however I would probably call them and confirm. Not sure if you could do 1 super duty for the e-bike and 1 heavy duty for the gravel. And yes you order direct. 1up-usa.com/product/2-heavy-duty-double

With the FJ, did you need a receiver extension to clear the spare? And to confirm, you could tilt it down and open the rear door? Thanks

When the 1up was on your FJ, did you need a hitch extension? And to confirm, you were able to open the rear door if you tilted it down? Thanks

Hi Anthony, I just did some measuring and looks like the rack portion is about 12 inches from the bumper when at full extension, so you should ideally be able to fit a bike no problem. I can share an image if you'd like. Reach out to me on instagram @rocky.mtn.ranger

The kuat piston pro x is a pretty cool piece of engineering and the one handed opening feature is very nice, but my concern would be dust and grime eventually getting into the pistons causing failure. That’s a very expensive rack to have fail. This rack is no bs and just works…all the time. Simple and robust I got the quick rack with adapter

@@GetBusyLivin good to know. I was looking at the heavy duty since it has the 2" hitch diameter vs having an adapter. But if you hadn't had any issues with the quick rack, that makes more sense to do

Hey Steve, that distance varies by about 6 inches as the male end has a slot to allow it to move closer and further from the vehicle. I just measured and at it's closest the frame of the bike is 10inches at the forks. It's about 6 inches at the pedals. and 4 inches at the handlebars. Ideally the pedals could be moved out of the way and the handlebars should be above the tire but you'd have to test that out. Again, you have 6 inches to play with so should be some wiggle room to get to about 16 inches for the frame

I had this on the FJ prior to this truck and did not need any extension. I cannot remember if I was able to open the door with a bike on it or not. In the down position I mean. Also, it will work with 1 bike rack on it but if you add to and tilt all the way up it will not clear. You'll have to have it tilted at the 45% angle to clear

@@GetBusyLivin Thanks, thats good to know. The 1 is probably what i woudl do first. So glad to hear that I wouldn't need to buy extra pieces. I'ts not big deal for me to remove the bike to get access. Do that now with an old Thule. Thanks!

They offer a fat tire kit that works great with my Radrover which has fenders. You simply move the fat tire spacers to not interfere with the fenders.

honestly have not noticed any wear in the color whatsoever. Since it really only touches rubber I assume that's why it remains in great condition

They do lock into place but it’s not a fixed lock that requires a key or anything. You would want to either purchase a 1up lock that mates well with their rack, or you can simple use a normal bike lock

@@GetBusyLivin thank you for your reply. I just wouldn’t want to pull up to a stoplight and have someone grab it off the rack or walk into a store for a minute and have that happen. Not that I’d leave it out of sight anyway as a practice. In any event TY.

I have the rack all the way against the hitch and the bike handle does not touch the truck. But yes, it does get close! I have never had any issues with rattling or rubbing tho

Hi @jxgxa, this is the 2" Super Duty Single - Black

Good question. Can only be removed if they have the key. Each bolt requires a 1up USA key

@@GetBusyLivin it looks just like a normal bolt/nut

Thank you for the relevant and helpful tip! You have changed my life

@@GetBusyLivin WOW! 😱Now that is some fast results from cutting the poisonous sugar from your diet. I got quick results, but you have exceeded far faster. Apples 🍎 and Bananas 🍌 are high too high in sugar content as well due their altered genetic makeup perpetrated by the produce growers.

In order to steal the bike rack someone would need to have both a 1up specific allen key wrench and be able to somehow pick or break the hitch lock. So I would say it’s possible but not easy

Hi Jordan. It depends on the weight of the bike and size of the tires. I would probably suggest looking at the Super Duty rack instead of the Heavy Duty. It's meant to carry more weight. this chart is helpful 1up-usa.com/content/pdf/1UP%20USA-ComparisonChart.pdf

Need the Fat Tire Spacer kit., and as OP states, get the Super Duty.

I guess it is pretty amazing 🤔

Not illegal in California

Illegal where? Europe, maybe? The US, legal in all 50 states

Good! I'm glad it was helpful
