    I have a "Yakima" as shown in the photo of the Jeep. Mounted on the swing out spare wheel carrier on a D1, 2 bike rack, although there are bigger ones. Never a problem with it but I do use one of those cable type bike locks to keep the bike snug at the bottom.

    Not sure how you could open the door from the inside without releasing the swing out spare carrier. Could not with mine as the lock is on the rear bumper.

    They don't swing a great deal - there is another but that straps around the seat stay to stop the swinging.

    I'd like one that can go into a tow hitch, but swing to the side. This way I can still get to the storage area under the 130 tray. Might have to give Shingleback a call and see what he can do...

    2 x Bike carrier - GripSport

    My GripSport arrived along with a Rijidij Carrier........fitted them last night

    Em happy with both products.....and achieved what I wanted, can open the rear door from inside the defender with bikes on, bikes lower than roof line, no requirement to spin handle bars, be able to carry roadies/MTB/FatBikes, rear door opens fully when loaded with bikes

    I only just thought about whether the Awning can be deployed with the bikes in.

    I know some you younwill be biting at then bit to point out the weight ok the spare wheel carrier, height etc etc I've taken it all into consideration and discussed with Murray.


    MTB this morning








    Picked up the FatBikes this arvo....for some Fraser Island fun
