This may be an odd question, especially since I think most of ya'll don't daily your mustangs. Does anyone have a good recomendation for a trunk rack for our cars? I can actually fit my bike in the trunk but damn is it a hassle.


And on that same note, does anyone here bike? I'm trying to get back into trail riding.

I cycled for years. Still have my dual slalom bike but have since sold my road and XC bike. Would like to hit the trails again, myself, sometime.

This is what your looking for: http://www.saris.com/product/bones2

They make a 3 bike as well. Has locking options, strong as hell, won't scratch and the arch-style clears spoilers etc. Outside of that....they have a slick look.

I ride but I refuse to put something like that on my car. They say it won't scratch the paint but anything that rest directly on the paint like that is going to leave a mark.

This. I haven't riden my bike since I got my car because I have no way to carry it anywhere.

Another reason I'm getting a truck. :)

I'll let ya'll know how this works if you're curious. I've seen some people put towels between the braces before, too.

The strap hooks are dipped in polyvinyl. I used a small, polyvinyl coated stick of aluminum to pop panels on multi million dollar aircraft for years....because it won't scratch.

If your worried about the feet on the Bones then the Porter might look better to you. http://www.saris.com/product/porter-trunk-2

But if your willing to strap anything to a car with standing dust.....that's your own fault lol.
