hi, anyone knows of a good roof rack for a bike or maybe a rack for the hatch???? i have a 89 b2 and i fear they dont make any bicycle racks for us.??

 

Bike as in bicycle? Put the rear seats down and use the cargo area. For more than one bike all you have to do is pull the front tire / wheel off. I don't know of anyone who sells a bike rack, unless you guy the bolt-to-frame style tow hitch setup.

 

I have a 2" receiver style hitch on my Bronco II and if you look around you can find bike racks and cargo platforms that fit into the hitch.if you don't want to buy a new hitch, check the wreckers as they are fairly common on the wrecked Bronco II's I see.

 

yhea i have seen that hitch (wich i dont have) but the bike carrier that goes onto it cost $80 at wall mart.

i'm looking for a regular bike carrier for the roof or the trunk (but with the spare tire in there i think its going to be a problem).

actually i just bouth a carrier for the back wich i have yet to mount in the back hatch. if it dont work i try mount it on the hood. and let eveyone know how it goes.

 

At one time I had a universal rack with straps from a bike store that mounted to the spare tire. But my spare tire mount has been modified and does not clamp to the back hatch any more. All the spare tire weight is supported by the bumper. If your tire can support the weight you might wanna go the universal rack route. It was cheap too.

 

You can always install an aftermarket Ford Bronco II roof rack system. Yakima racks makes a really solid roof rack system that installs quickly to the 1989 Bronco II drip rails / raingutters. It's called the Yakima 1A Raingutter car rack system. Just make sure you get the 58 inch cross bars length. Anything shorter won't reach across the rooftop all the way. You can then mount any of Yakima Racks roof mount bike racks directly to the 1A Raingutter crossbars.

I have a brush guard on mine, I found it alot easier to strap my bike to that thing. I can only really do 1 bike though.

I think the small utility trailers are actually cheaper than a rack system.

You can get a 40" x 49" 850# utility trailor with DOT approved lights new for about $150.00. I need one for camping !!!!
