Bike rack mount

I dropped my WDH head at the Machine shop. They are going to put a piece of square tubing on top of the head for a bike rack. I think this will serve well as the rack will be on the TV instead of the TM. I will also be able to haul the bikes on the TV if I want to go biking away from the CG.

I'll post pix when I get it back.

FYI-search '1up usa' bike racks

Hi, I'm not affiliated with this U.S. company, just (big into bikes) a satisfied owner with rack modification for fatbike for use on snow.

These are very durable, constructed w/ rigid aluminum and can be modified (separate units are added or subtracted at the time of need) to carry one, two or three bikes w/o need for wheel removal (road, mtb, downhill, women's bikes without a horizontal top tube or fatbikes with 3.8" wide tires-since the weight of the bike is supported on the inflated tires for shock absorption and without damage to frames, disc rotors, carbon fiber materials or paint). (each of our road, mtb and fatbikes weigh under 25#s).

We use it with our ford escape (1.25" receiver), our soon to be TV durango (2" receiver) without modification and will place it on the rear of our new 2720 QB with a heavy duty 2" bike receiver modification being installed by the great folks @ Car Show in CO SPGS.

1up are not cheap just very durable and practical. hope this helps others.

Can't wait to see that.

Would someone with the TM factory bike mount take a few pictures of how it is mounted on a TM and share those with us?
Thanks.

I bought my TM used so can't speak as to the source of the welding on the rear bike rack mount. It is the WORST welding job I have ever seen! That is the main reason I'm going to mount my bikes on the TV instead of the factory bike rack. I'm thinking that someone at some time wanted to beef up the factory rack and did the welding themselves. I sure hope that welding was not done at the TM factory. I may take some pictures later and post them.

Don't know if this would help. There is a split receiver tub adapter "Dual 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver"? I have heard some people have had great success using these with pupups.

That's exactly what I'm having done to my WDH.

Picture of poor welding on the hitch mount.

I don't know why the picture is upside down.
I also can't post more than 1 picture at a time.

Terry -

A few months back we had a discussion about sideways / upside-down pictures. Apparently it has something to do with posting from an iPad (and may be an iPhone?).

The limitation to one-pic-at-a-time also goes back to iPad / IPhone.
