Bike Rack Options??

[InvertedLogic]

Hi, does this work well with the backup camera and sensors? Would love to entertain one that I can leave on without compromising those safety features.

The Pivot by itself worked fine with the backup camera, but definitely upset the parking sensors considering it blocks half of them completely.

The Wilco Swing Arm combined with the AEV rear bumper with tire carrier works nicely together.
Currently have a Kuat rack but am going to get a 1up soon as my Kuat is old and tired.

With this rig I can still tow while having the bike rack on there.

The tire (33") clears the rack. Because the tire is off-center, I think a 35" will be okay and I'm sure I'll find out once these tires are worn.

I am running the Yakima bike rack. If you’re running a tire carrier, I would consider this rack and relocate the camera.

Reporting back to say I received my 1UP rack and returned it. It's marginally nicer than Kuat and Thule, but I really didn't like the locking options and their customer service was rather petty and rude after the sale. Also, the rack when stored upright was dangerously close to my tail-light and would have required me to relocate that to avoid it getting smashed so it just wasn't worth the bling factor.

My new 1UP bike rack for two heavy E-bikes with fenders and rear rack, no hitch extension, no swing out, the rear door can be opened with the bikes unloaded otherwise not. Bikes are heavy and I want to keep the center of weight close as possible to the rear bumper. Pictures show one bike, and then two bikes loaded. rack is modular 1, 2, up to 4 bike positions. Other pictures show a sideview and how I fit the bikes close to the rear tire. Note: this arrangement is ordered with the side plates reversed from the standard bike rack. I figure the total weight is about 175 lbs, the vehicle sits about 1.5 inches lower at the rear axle.

save your money and just throw it in the back...

I just ordered a 1UP and a Kuat up/down extender.

This is on a 2020 Willys with stock wheels.

I did not get the inverted plates because it will not just live on my Wrangler, but also on my Expedition Max.

I plan on posting a bunch of pictures as soon as it comes in so people can see the clearance and how well it works.

I've been pretty happy with this one:

Haven’t looked at all the pages on this thread, has anyone used this? I tow a camper, and this looks like an interesting option. I know the added weight might be a concern, but maybe with a properly reinforced tailgate?

The twisting leverage ( torque) that would exert on the upper tire/ wheel would be high, how stable would that be under dynamic loading ? Bumps. Wind buffeting

I have a 2" front receiver, and intend to carry my 50lb E- bike up front, leaving access to the cargo area unimpeded. When I try it out, I'll report back, until then, it's a "Teaser "

Love those Riese & Mullers.

that’s a good question. I want to like this option, but not if it’s risky. I could imagine hitting a pot hole doing 65, and the tire bracket breaking off.

Here’s another option. $82 & good reviews. Seems the forces would be worse on this one, but not a lot of complaints. Might be worth a try for the price.
