I needed to get my family of 6 here to Ouray, CO, for a week of wheeling, and I didn't want to bring two vehicles. Here's how we did it:
Valley Hitch-mount Basket Rack: $120
SportRack Hitch Basket Bag: $60
Valley Locking Hitch Pin: $16
Combine all that with the Little Passengers 3rd-row seat I installed on Thursday, and my whole family fits in one Jeep
.
It rained a little on the way, but everything inside the bag was totally dry. (They make it clear that the bag is "water-resistant", not "water-proof", but it worked just great.)
Let the wheeling begin!
