Well, no kidding. Looky there.

Never noticed that. I'll have to give that a shot this weekend.
Thanks for the advice.

 

I installed the yakima rack!! It was the Q towers with Cross bars. I cut the bars with a saw so they wouldn't stick out over the sides. I really like the rack system, It's made to hold 165 pounds and feels very sturdy. It also locks so no on can steal it easily.

This is a custom Thule setup I made, I get the benefits of having a dry cargo area, easy acess to the bikes, I can unhook the end o the cover if I need to carry long pieces of wood, or it can be removed in about 3 min. This option is a little more expensive but it locks too. I had the rack from another vehicle and the conversion was simple.

I have a hitch rack, holds 4 bikes, and was about $150cdn. Viewable at www.swagman.net - it has a drop down feature so i can get my tailgate down and access stuff like camping gear that is under my tonneau.

They do have ones that you can two with too, and while this is a Canadian company, i'm sure there are simliar ones in the States. I love it! it's lockable to the receiver, and the bikes can lock in too. Keeps the bed free and when the bikes are muddy, i can wash them on the rack, then wash my rig!
