    :tumbleweed:This project is beginning to lean towards just "Camping" Swing-Out. Gotta be safe though.

    I'm already in it for $150 for the bike rack, and $110 for some steel molle panels.
    :sawzall:starts this weekend :taco:

    For camping I need the receiver for the pop up. I can't inflict tent camping on my wife and 2 kids.

    I hacked off the bike holder thingy and attached the main molle panel this weekend. Still need to do the table and fuel can holder. I actually like it (for what it is).

    The panel is raised high enough to not block the license plate.

    Ready to find some nearby washboard roads to test this. :fingerscrossed:

    I still need to make a table for it.

    How wobbly is this and hope you don't need to go through a shallow ditch or up a slight hill! Otherwise, fine! Would be great for a personal mobility device like a scooter...

    Surprisingly not wobbly at all for this cheap rack (though I am using an anti-wobble hitch tightener).

    Yeah I know :(. This may be limited to camping and fire roads. I still want to see how it handles when I scrape the bottom :muscleflexing:

    Even with my stock OR I am very careful on short steep pitches. Real easy to drag the receiver without a hitch!
