    Got this Hitch from Amazon. 140 but applied for amazon credit card and they gave my 70 off. Then after looking at several roof racks I decided in these from a company called Van tech for 119. The rack is heavy steel and have a 300# rating. Very happy with both these so far.IMG_20170228_153851.jpg IMG_20170228_145917.jpg IMG_20170224_120108.jpg

    I installed a aftermarket hitch on my truck too. In case you need a wire harness, I bought this plug and play kit. Took less than 5 minutes to install.

    Thanks. I am setting it up slowly for some vacation camping but I want to be able to bring my motorcycle with me. Actually I have to bring the motorcycle my wife loves it as much as I do.I'm think utility trailer, oztent. rei screen room ect... I have time to figure it out because vacations are on hold because we need to be home for our 13 year old puppy Baby. She has a routine that we don't disturb unless necessary. She gets too nervous on long car rides so its all about her for a few years.

    I hear ya on that one. We had a pup as well who was our spoiled little baby. Little is an understatement though her being a great dane black lab mix hah but she passed not too long ago. You seem to have a good bearing on the camping set up, now all I need is a motorcycle as well hahah

    Sorry about your dog.Yeah. We have had Baby since she was 8 weeks. It sucks watching her get older. I still walk her about a mile a day and she gets so engrossed in her sniffing that she trips and falls. The Tacoma took over my modding obsession for now. If you decide to get a motorcycle I can tell you these new Indians are amazing machines. But also can suck away time and money with forum and modding.lol

    Better pick of the rack. Not the most beautiful looking rack but inexpensive and solid.IMG_20170304_110747.jpg
