How should I carry Mountain bikes?

[AitchYXE]

Getting that set up ordered was way more confusing than it should have been.

I've been planning out my Yakima rack system for my Retrax Pro and it is hilariously non-intuitive. I did call the dealer to get some clarification on things so I think I more or less know what I need.

Looks like you are running the RetraxXR cover. If so, what cross bars are you using and is that separate than the Rhino Rack or is it one unit? I want this exact set up ...

I had it on my last truck. I ordered Rhino cross bars, the 4 "legs", and 2 of their bike racks. It was a really nice set up for keeping stuff secure in the bed while on travel.

Here's my setup. RhinoRack Crossbars with Thule sleds for larger e-bikes and some Amazon cheapo's for the kids bikes in the middle.

OP I use the 1UP Van Tray on top of my Diamondback. The regular 1Up tray should be compatible with your Thule bars.

I absolutely love tailgate pads but they do eat up bed space quick! Currently using a Kuat Sherpa hitch rack for camping season. I’d go 1up racks tray or hanging if I did it again. Really like Alta racks as well. Want to like Velicorax but they are made in China. Deal breaker for me.
