Hi guys. John here with Real Truck.com. Today I want to show you how to install the Rhino
Rack Hitch Mount Bike Carrier onto this Jeep Grand Cherokee. We got all the parts laid
out for our bike carrier. What we need to do now is start putting it together. As you
can see here, it comes with everything you need. It comes with the stuff you need here
to secure your bikes to the rack. Let's get this thing together so we can get it on the
jeep.
The first thing we want to do is to attach our wheel cups to the rack itself, so we'll
take this one and we'll stand this piece up. What we have is we have our wheel holder for
the front wheel and it attaches right onto here. Then we have these allen head style
bolts that go in here to hold these on. The kit does come with an allen wrench to fit
these. Make sure that you get the right piece because this actually is going to fit on here.
When you put it on it forms this little indented area and that the larger holes are up and
the smaller ones are down so that we know which piece to use.
We're going to put this on here. All right, once we've got our tire holders in place onto
our rack bars, then we're going to put this together. We're going to go ahead now and
attach the rack part to our hitch mount. Then we'll use our carriage bolts; put those through;
attach our lock washer and nut to the bottom. So we'll grab the other one and we'll put
it on there. We'll set this one in place.
We've got the bike rack all together. Now we're going to go ahead and put this onto
our jeep. Grab our bike rack and we'll bring it over here and we will slide it up into
the receiver. Once this is in to the receiver, then what we'll do is we will take our hitch
pin and our lock washer and this is a screw in style hitch pin so you don't have to worry
about losing it so easily. We'll just put it in through there and tighten it up. Then
we have our key pin which will keep this in place and stop it from falling out of there.
There you have it. That's how simple and easy it is to install this Rhino Rack Hitch Mount
Bike Carrier onto your vehicle. One of the really cool features about this, however,
is that it will fit onto any vehicle that has a two inch receiver hitch or an inch and
a quarter. There's an allen head bolt on here that you can remove these two pieces here
and it'll also fit into an inch and a quarter receiver as well. The next thing we're going
to do is get some bikes on this thing and do a little tracking. Until next time, happy
motoring.
