Thule Space Station somethingorother on the back. Very stable, but a little tedious to load.
Box on the roof w/ Thule TK (quick release) feet. I have 2 trays for the roof, but don't use them anymore. The head of one tray is still bolted to the loadbar.
Sorry its so dark. The pic was cropped from a larger one.

You have to remember, the front folds down which has a bed for 2, also, a fridge, and sink, and stove, and sh*ter/shower.

You'd be hard pressed to find a 2004 trailer with all of that stuff (toy hauler style) for that price.

$15, sorry for the crappy pics left the real camera at home and had to use my phone.





i debated on getting bars and king cobra trays but i didnt' want to spend 300-400 bones just to get the bikes mounted over the truck bed. Oh well, it works

Same thing as toshi just with the third bike add on... On the way to whistler...
it seems that 4 heavy bikes (three mid-30s, one upper-40s) were too much for my sportworks to handle:



on the upside, i bought the fourth bike mount (from rack attack, not rei) less than two weeks ago so should be able to return it, and rei accepted the main rack + mount #3 without any hassles. rei == :thumb: . not so sure about the previously infallible sportworks tho. (on that note, does anyone remember an old onion article on papal infallibility? it's not in their archives, but i remember it as being hilarious. :D)

Sportworks Freerider

If you are carrying DH bikes, its the way to go. The other Sportworks will work, seen it done but I would recommend against it. Freerider rides awesome, easy to load, folds out of the way! Mmmm me likes!






Haha and yes the hardtail is an odd breed, it was setup for winter road training rides, came home with me for the holidays and 2 days later I broke my ankle! never did ride it with that odd setup.

i think my regular sportworks would have held up fine, had i kept it at 2 bikes. the problem is that carrying 2 bikes isn't enough...
