A few weeks ago I purchased a tow-hitch mounted cargo rack. I purchased the Tow-Ready #TR63152 that has a one-piece deck with side rails and is nominally 24" x 60". It fits the 2" Class III OEM tow hitch receiver on my KK and the cargo rack is rated for 500 lbs.
Since I went with the 60" wide rack, which is basically as wide as the KK, I later decided that it would be prudent for me add some lights to the cargo rack since not only does it stick back further from the KK but if I had bulky items stacked on it, my tail-lights may be obscured. So I purchased a light kit for the Tow-Ready rack and installed it this weekend:
Also put on some safety chains.
The lights work out great. Had to use the 7 pin - 4 pin adapter that came with the OEM tow hitch.
There's one more thing I can scratch off my "to-do" list before hauling 5 people and their stuff to Moab in April for LOST's GTG. If there are any other KK owners interested in wheelin' with some nice people and seeing a beautiful part of the country at a great time of year, then feel free to plan on joining LOST's Moab GTG this April. I was the only KK at LOST's 2009 Jeep Safari in Ouray, Colorado last July and both my father and I had a wonderful time. Sure would be great to see more KKs out there wheelin'.
