Default Need some ideas...help or anything?

Just got my 08 xB and love it. Any suggestions on what kind of bike rack (brand name) that would be comparable to our back trunk style. Please let me know. Would love a pic if possible and plus if you have a specific one that you use, I would like the style/brand.

Thanks,

Timmy

My personal suggestion, would be to get a trailer hitch installed, and use one of the hitch mounted type. Would be the easiest, and least invasive.

x2. Probably the best way to do it. I know there are a couple of brands out there. Just stay away from the 'mart racks as I have seen several of those break.

I have a Hollywood trunk rack. I just got my 08 xB last night and put the rack on today. No pics yet, but i will sometime soon. Fits great by the way. I took it off my Nissan Altima where it worked great. A couple adjustment and bam... fits great on my xB

Take a look at Saris...I have a Saris Bones 3, never used it on the xB but a friend uses Hers on a Lexus SUV...
Will you be carrying road or MTB's??
