Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount
Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.
Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.

RockyMounts TieRod Roof Bike Rack Review - 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
Today on our 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan we'll be test fitting the RockyMounts TieRod Roof Mounted Bike Rack, part number RKY1014. Now, our vehicle is equipped with the Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack System and our bike rack is preassembled so we are ready to go ahead and fit it to the vehicle. We'll start by setting the head of the bike rack on the front crossbar. We'll bring the rubber coated steel straps around and underneath the crossbar and secure it back to the head of the bike rack. We can then move the rear mounting point over the rear crossbar. We'll bring the rear clamp underneath and tighten it down with the wing nuts.
