Bike rack I mean :D I might end up getting something before Friday or fabbing something, but Friday is so close that it's not even funny.
Btw it'd be best if the rack was someplace in OC, LA or south part of the Valley (near the 101)

Thanks
Remi
 
Why don't you just fab one up that goes in the hitch... I used to have one for three bikes, but needed the metal so I cut it up... I have 2x2 for the reciver part if ya need it...

Do not have a hitch mount rack but do have a trunk mount rack that works great on the XJ. Rest on top of the bumper and against the window and attaches in 3 points. Real secure and holds 3 bikes. Your to use if you need to

Problem is time: I have a project I need to finish for a class by Thursday and I still gotta change the oil and check some fluids and pack stuff and figure out what I need to pack and I'm at school Tue Wed Thursday and I gotta..... figure out how to squeeze an extra day in a middle of it all. I did consider fabbing one up and I got some ideas and it shouldn't more than 2 ~ 3 hours tops (cutting, welding and even throwing some paint on it) but the problem is the 2~3 hours :(

How does it sit on the bumper? Cause I don't really have a rear bumper: it's recessed in relation to the hatch. If it would still work out than I think I'm more than interested :D

I've got a four bike receiver mounted rack; it folds down for hatch access. It has a very good departure angle to it, that way you can take your bike with you to ride back to camp. :D I live clear out hear with the normal (got em fooled) people though, not down in your neck of the sardine can. You can borrow it but I want to be able to keep an eye on it. ;)

Damn why do you have to be so far out!
 
TAKE THE BIKE APART AND STUFF IT IN UNTIL YOU GET TO vEGAS AND i will take it from there.
 
I may end up having a bit of room in my Jeep, we could stuff it in there, maybe put it under my spare tire to hold it down :)

I could stuff it into the jeep, but I was thinking about doing it the right way :D

What is wrong with stuffing it ino the Jeep? Not familiar with the quick releases?

Contact Grant and he will give you a tutorial on the art of 'Carefully Stuffing your Bike into your XJ so there will be no grease or damage to your vehicle or bike'

Hey, is that a crack about my jeep being clean? Fawker.

My bike is on top on that crazy-arsed thing called a wind drag...er... huge rack.

Thanks, but I wanted to put it on the hitch: I can attach to the roofrack as it is by just laying on the side (yeah I know I'm picky, but I don't ahve gutters anymore).
