Hey John. You can email any pictures you have directly to the email address you receive this response from.
Since you have crossbars on your Ranger, you'll most likely need a bike rack like the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier item # Y02103. This bike rack mounts to crossbars up to 3" wide x 1-1/2" tall and spread out between 16" - 48". It has a maximum capacity of 40 lbs.
What make and model bike rack do you have and what are the dimensions of your crossbars?
