    Thought about this but its way to high for some of the areas we go to. The tailgate mat is cool and same with hitch mount but I dont want to block my back up cam.

    I owned that same Diamondback!
    Couldn't fit it in the Buick Lesabre during my cross-country move, though :(
    So, it sits rusting somewhere in NY

    great idea! I have a couple extra of those carriers.
    How stable do bikes ride on bumpy terrain?

    The setup works well, was pretty secure. No complaints so far.

    I have a question for the guys using this setup. Not being a dick just curious. Why not just use motorcycle straps and keep the front tire on? Thats what I use and it's quick and easy and you don't have to mess around taking the damn tire off. Is there a reason? Other than the shortbed guys who's beds are too short to fit.

    Any carrier where you have to remove the front wheel is too much work IMO.

    Try doing it with a lefty fork. And I can cut your cable and straps and be gone with your bike in no time. Try that with my rocky mounts.

    Also I can have the bike loaded or unloaded while your still trying to untangle your straps
