Ratchet with a wobble extension... Good luck; I love the Curt hitch. -N

I'm not sure how much you care about aesthetics, but if you've ever seen a 2" receiver on a passenger car, it usually looks pretty ridiculous. There's a Prius and a 3 series BMW at my work that have this setup, and they stick out like a sore thumb. That said, most 1.25" hitches have the ability...

Yep, jacked up the rear...

Looks great! Can you post some close up photos of the landing pads (where they meet the roof)? Thanks!

Are your friends' T2s for the 2" receiver? If so, I'd guess that's the reason that they get less flex. I got a rear rack that requires you to take the front wheel off of your bike, just so I could reduce some of the weight on rack, to minimize the "bounce" you get with two bikes. Having said...

My dad has an ugly green Prius, and I put a Curt hitch on it, so that he can carry his bikes.

If you have the classic Zune, the Belkin Tunedok for the classic Ipod works great as a holder for the device. The angle and height are adjustable, and it fits the Zune shape exactly. The suction cup on the back does its job, and there is some basic cable management built into the underside of...

Finally put mine to good use when my gym waterbottle leaked all over the place and mixed with the dust left from my MTB front wheel. Popped the whole thing out, hosed it off, let it sit in the sun for a few minutes to dry, and it looked like new. Highly recommended.

I heard a strange whirring noise back there as well; I never did figure it out. Once, it happened a while (hour plus) after shutting the car off. Came on for about a minute and then shut off...

I don't know, man. I was driving around yesterday with 2 FS XC bikes on a rack (front wheels in trunk) attached to the 11384, and the whole setup flexes quite a bit when going over bumps. I firmly believe that the 11384 is the best hitch for this car, but I'd be wary about extending the bikes an...
