Pin box mounted receiver hitch for bike rack.

Just had this fabed up today. Was tired of our bikes getting beat to death in the back of our TH. Since I tow with a HDT clearance isn't an issue. Should be much smoother ride up front.Click image for larger version

Looks good but not sure that would work on a pickup due to cab clearance when turning.

Steven, of course it isn't going to fit with your Ram. Just think how people will stoop and bow when you drive up in your late-model Freightliner Century, blue stripes painted to match that Raptor, chrome stacks and Budd wheels! Your wife will be so......well, I don't exactly know how tickled your wife may or may not be. Maybe you better just put the bikes in the garage and stay with the Ram!

So many just can't see how this works! When I posted this others posted that they actually did four bikes with a short bed, as they are inside the turn radius.

They work great. I made one last year and it is not an issue. Even with a Ram 6.5 box. Looks awesome your bikes will thank you.
