Mr. Sakkaro Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I am sure folks are working hard and busy with life, but an update on our hitch project would be incredibly helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_ster Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 i made a revision on the angles of the bends , this allows more clearance for the stock mufflers . the plates that were previously vertical are now slightly angled in towards the middle of the car. gives about 3/4"of room for the stock floppy mufflers.

hadvw Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Ok, so, any more news? Just got a couple of bikes fixed up so we may actually start biking as a family soon.. And, of course, need a hitch for the LGT and one for the Grand Caravan + carrier.. Any suggestions on carrier to carry 4 bikes (2 kids, 2 adults)? Any thoughts about this one? Price seems right.. http://www.carid.com/pro-series/pro-series-bike-racks-15847385.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price seems right.. http://www.carid.com/pro-series/pro-series-bike-racks-15847385.html I don't like those types of carriers because the bikes swing around and they only work with typical (i.e. not full suspension bike designs). I had those when I was younger and my bikes always ended up getting scratched from them. Unfortunately all the other options are a lot more expensive. Something like this helps hold all the bikes securely. http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Pro-Series/PS63138.html And because of the raise in the back, less chance of scraping your bike on the ground. There isn't a lot of ground clearance with these cars. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Gddmnt I need one of these so bad. I drag my hidden hitch on everything! And I'm not even lowered!

RooTBeeR Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It wouldn't be nearly as nice as the CNC cut pieces by any means. And I don't know if they have a patent on it or not.
