JLU rear bike fork mount carrier installed in cargo area

Paddy Wagen · Jun 10, 2025

I don’t like putting my bike on the rear hitch carrier. So I searched sprinter van forums. Freedom coast makes a Atrack mount. I installed it on the parreto off-road rear seat delete platform. It’s quick release, fully adjustable up down right and left. I mounted it so I have about a quarter of an inch gap between the tailgate and the fork mount. Hope this helps anyone looking to do something similar.

Nice work! I was never a fan of hitch racks either until I tried a 1UP USA. Spendy, but solid as a rock.

I have a double bike KUAT hitch mount rack. It’s super solid, but I don’t ever want to leave my bike mounted on the rack in a parking lot and come back to have my bike gonzo. This keeps it incognito.

Pretty cool. I have to say the brown leather looks so good with the exterior color and interior.

Nice job on your bike rack.

Wow! That's a lot of room. I see a 3-4" foam pad in there and sleeping like a log.

Nice set-up, well done!

A Levo too, nice. That’s longer than most bikes.

Looks great but I have a shelf in the back so that wouldn’t work. Like 1UP for transporting my mtn and road bikes. Really solid.

Really nice cargo setup! So much i like about having your bike secured like this.

Perfect

Is there a unicycle mount version for a two door?

Great idea! I love the rear seat delete. What does a kit like that run?

I bought it when Paretto Off-road launched it. They are a forum sponsor here. It was a couple years ago. The mount for the bike was around $179 - I think? Platform is well built.

Reminder: With a hitch mount make sure you lock your bike to the mount. In the middle of traffic a thief will run up to your Jeep, pull the bike off, and ride away.

Nice work. I do the same thing but my mount in on a 12" x 24" piece of plywood and I extend the dropper post and hit hits perfectly with the roll bar / crossbar. I ride an XL so there is no way I can get mine in without a dropper. You have a nice setup there.
