You can look around to see if there is a better deal. A pretty easy install, especially compared to the hitch I added to my TJ.

It fits pretty well and more clearance over the 33. I think a 35 might require the adapter to make this work.

This is a great setup. I went with the 1Up too band got a hitch extender with hi/lo. Drops the Hitch 2" and allows the rear tailgate to open. Very happy with it so far.

Very pleased with the 1Up Rack I got for my JLUS. Of note....

- Without a hitch extender this still fit my road bike with just my pedal (speedplay) fitting between the space in the rims. I did purchase a hitch extender (shown) and it allows the the gears to be spun while on the rack (convenient for quick maintenance work before a ride.).

- When the rack is folded down you can open the back hatch enough to access but cannot completely open the hatch due to tire interference.

- This rack is solid but way lighter than I thought. A clean setup all around.

What model 1Up is that? Can you buy an add on with that model for 2 bikes? (Just need a single right now, but 2 in future)

That is the black version of the regular single one. Yes, you can add additional platforms for additional bikes in the future.

Here a pic of mine with the hi/lo extender. The swing gate can be opened completely with this.

1.25” – 2” Quik Rack Single

Yes you can add a second rack to it at a later time. That really influenced this purchase...being able to add on. It's a great bike rack. Super sturdy. Moved my road bike from NC to RI with it.

Great thanks! Hoping it will be a good fit for my hybrid bike. Was looking at quick rack vs super duty. Can tailgate open with normal hitch extender or is a hi/lo needed?

That looks like a good piece of gear...what brand is your hi/lo? I just got a an extender.

$80 at CJpony + $20 of hardware needed.

Here's a tire mounted 2-bike bike rack that's compatible with the JL.

Please people, don't buy a nice vehicle and then buy a junk rack... Allen makes the junkiest of the junk bike racks available.

Does anyone have a method of locking 1Up rack to vehicle? Reading security could be a concern with the rack.

The offer a lock for the hitch. Remember to purchase the locks for the bikes and any extensions you purchase(or will) at the same time. They will key them alike on the same order, but will not match to previous orders. So, buy all the locks you may ever need all together at the same time. I bought the hitch, 4 bikes worth, and 2 locks for add-ons all at the same time to make sure I never need multiple keys.

Good advice. I use these on my 1up.
https://www.1up-usa.com/product/wheel-locks/ They give a bit of peace of mind. That said, EVERY bike rack I've ever owned has a theft liability. If you are going to be gone a long time (i.e. hotel overnight), take your bikes with you. If that's not an option, buy a thick security cable and run through your frame/wheels and lock it to your hitch when parked.
