Vertical Bike Rack Options

[kerryp]

Hey guys. New here. stumbled across this thread looking for vertical mounting options for my jeep since I am changing my tire carrier back to a tailgate mounted option.

Figured I would show my current vertical mount in case it gives anyone ideas for their own setup.

I used Thule roof rack mounts I found on CL for $50 and a buddy helped me out by welding some tabs onto my OR Fab tire carrier.

wizard kinetics in boulder makes a pretty cool one, not sure how it would stand up to off road use.

they pivot out and down for loading.

Alright, going to pull this thread back from the depths. I just found this guy up in BHam. Great racks, he beats the crap out of them during testing. I headed to BHam to check them out and they are burly. A bit on the $$$ side, but compared to other 5 bike racks, this one seems legit.

Thanks for the heads up on Recon Racks, gonna shoot those guys a message and see what I can get. I keep destroying racks and bikes and need something off-road worthy.
