       Hitch mounted carrier

       Just wanted to offer my experience so far with a new $120 hitch
       mounted steel carrier I just installed on my truck.
       There are many such devices on the market, but most of the less
       expensive ones get pretty bad reviews, especially the aluminum.
       Indeed, there are some very nice aluminum carriers out there,
       but they cost considerably more than the one I got.
       For added insurance I recommend also getting the anti tilt
       bracket.  There are a few of these, but I suggest the one with
       16 bolts that wrap around the truck hitch and the tongue on the
       device.
       I got mine through Amazon - TMS T-NS-MRC001 500-Pound Heavy Duty
       Motorcycle Carrier.
       Here are some pics:

       I use the same kind of carrier - only problem is the loading
       ramp is way too short and my jeep is tall = pain in the A ss to
       load!   ::)
       as far as securing the carrier - I use one of these
  HTML http://www.hitchrider.com/nowobble.htm
       when ever I attach
       anything to the vehicle.  Even just a ball hitch for the trailer
       - cuts out the rattling.

       Truck, yeah some of the ramps are a bit short; but a hi-lo hitch
       adapter will lower the carrier, making the ramp incline less
       steep.
       I used this anti rattle device
  HTML http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007C7GBB6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00<br
       />and it really locks things down.
       Thx for the input.
