A Wookies return.....

I don't know what a CD adapter is, but if you show me a picture I can look for one.

Sorry, I meant a 2” adapter. I’ll post a picture once I get home. Basically it’s a L shaped piece of aluminum that fills the gap between the 1-1/4” bar and the 2” receiver.

The winning combo might be a reducer since that vehicle might require an extension for the bike rack to work. 2 birds...

I know you're joking, but I would love that! I met some great new people at Frank's party who are, no doubt, on here unbeknownst to me. I bet the same is true for Jake.

Hitch mount ordered. Should be here by 7/3. I ordered a Draw-Tite Class 3 2" for 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Is there someone on here that can install it for Jake once it comes in?

I really appreciate everything you all are doing. I’m at a loss for words.

Welcome to MTBNJ and the Wookiee-sphere. I keep telling everybody this place is special...but nobody ever believes me 🙂

Have a great time getting dirty, Jake...

Don't feel obligated to ride every day. 6 days a week is also Ok.

I've been here for ~17 years Cindy and I still could still use that 😂

Really glad to see that you are here and made it all the way thru this blog.

No worries, @JakeP has the choice to go with the reducer brought up by @Matt_ or I can give him my adapter.

It really wasn't easy - but I think it was worth it. Of course, now I know he was cheating on his diet!!!!

I'll give him my reducer. As @Purl mentioned, I literally only use it as a headset bearing race setter on forks (works amazingly well btw!). This will give me an excuse to finally purchase the proper tool 😅

And looking at the installed images, I'm almost certain he'll need the extension to eliminate rack interference with the bumper. The hitches tuck pretty far under the bumper on these models.

...and I'm guessing as proper tool you mean a 2" long 1-1/2 PVC pipe!
