Bike rack wanted

Jul 24, 2005 3 Replies

Hi, I'm in the UK (Ireland, really) and looking for a bike rack, for 2 bikes to attach to my Cherokee Jeep (not the Grand Cherokee) the box shaped one about 1997 or so. I could swan down to my local Jeep dealer with a jumbo slug o' cash in my pocket, but I know they would take the cash, and then keep me waiting 3 months for the rack. I'm sure there must be some kind of equivelant that won't use up my ENTIRE holiday cash?



All hlpe appreciated!



Tks Derek

Might ask a local bike store, they should have ones that fit into the standard 2" receiver.

Doug, thanks for that, but they only ship domestic.

What's a standard 2" receiver?

I'll try the local bike stoer.. but... I live in the sticks!

Tks

The US has a more sensible system of towing attachments, whereby the towbar is in two pieces; a vehicle attachment culminating in a 2" internal diameter square box (the receiver) and a 2" square rod with a towball on the end. It means you can put other things into the reciever such as a bike rack or even a toilet (check out the infamous 'bumper dumper' if you don't believe me) !
