Ok here this goes.
I have this rack right now. Well something like it T-Rax Sport.
Is this bike rack fine for the bike I am getting?:confused:

I was reading on FS bike it might not be good..

I have not found a better way to transport my bikes than a Thule T2.

They are expensive and they are good.:popcorn:

I bought a Yakima holdup from syadasti. It's a similar design to the Thule T2. Though it seems to lack some of the adjustability of the Thule, I am very happy with its fit and function. I believe syadasti had both the holdup and T2 at one point, not sure which her preferred, and I reckon you'd be splitting hairs anyway. I doubt I'll use a roof rack again.

Be aware that the Saris model pictured above was just recalled. If that is the unit that anyone has, please check with them immediately. We don't need to see the tragedy of someone's dualie bouncing down the highway...


Were is the recall notice?

Yup, I bought his T2. I love the thing.

(threadjack alert) Did you get a ten minute block of instruction on how to use it? I did, and drove straight to upstate NY with the rack on the back. I was thankful for the instructions the next day when I noticed it's quite a complex set-up.

No. The T2 requires next to zero thought to use.

I used to have a T2 and thought it was great and very easy to use. It was just too heavy for my little go-cart car so I had to downsize to a much crappier Saris rack:(

Got the rack from Halters today.

Toyota was not thinking when the design the hitch, it sit to far in.
The new bike rack fits, but I can not fold up, half to inch all I need.
Spar is in the way and the part i was using for the old rack will not work for this one.

So does anybody now locally where I can get a Hitch Extension and 2" x 2" Receiver.

Maybe you can find what you need at a U-Haul place. I would imagine they could at least steer you in the right direction.

There maybe someone in local. I bought my other hitch from etrailer. Worst case i can go there. Jay gave me an idea to shave a little of the wheel tray that's hitting the spare. :hmmm:
