RE: KLX on a trailer hitch rack?
This is one of the $100 ones off eBay. I read some positive comments on this, and other sites so I bought it. I am impressed with the quality of the rack. I haven't used it for a long haul yet, so it still has to stand that test, but others had nothing but good to say after using them . Dan

I used to haul mine with my Mountianeer but now haul it with my Mazda Cx-9 I made a adapter to go from 2" to 1 1/4" and it works great I haul it 205 miles each way to my second home.

Ems knows the deal.....I bought it for when we go camping. With the bike on the back I can put my topper on and loadthetruckfull of crap, and not worry if it starts raining.

RE: KLX on a trailer hitch rack?
Mine is almost finished being built.....but i got lazy and it's laying in the garage.I just have to angle up the one end for a wheel chock and add 2 more tubes for the forward facing tie downs.Mine is waaaaaayyyy overbuilt and ways about 85 lbs. but i also fabbed a cincher for the tongue so it won't wiggle or wobble in the reciever hitch assy. .
Also as noted before.....it's so i can jam more camping gear in the bed of the truck.I also made mine so that it is spaced far enough back that i can fully open the tailgate on my Dakota to access my gear while the bed cover stays on .........custom built by ME!!!!!

oh yeah...if you guys have sag problems with the bike in the hitch then you need to check out the solution.....Timbren blocks.

point is ...they work.....I put them on my Dakota over 2 years ago and and i was hauling 1 atv in the bed and 2 on the trailer and the truck rode like stock and sat level........perfect for having a bike hauler with all the weight hanging off the back.....
Just my 2 cents on this one.....they work.
