    These carriers are good because you can use them as an engine stand to change out tires and chains etc.

    Nice video. You skipped a step though. After tightening down the upper pin, you should release the bottle jack. This will rest the weight on the pin, locking it in as well as prolong the life of the bottle jack.

    I bought one off ebay for $375 new shipped in a wooded crate..it was not avertized as MX hauler in the add but the paperwork in the box says it is..I run a lifted 99 Hoe on 35s so my bike is a dead lift to get it up on the platform but beats hauling a bike trailer on the camp trails..I do use a 2 inch ratchet strap on platform to bike frame as extra mental security but feel my Hondas CRF frame reinforcement areas around the foot rest are strong enough to hang the bike upside down from ..I just prefer being critical of securing for travel ..I will mention if you have a sloppy fitting receiver fitment the platform will move around and the bike will bounce from side to side ..in my case I had a stop strip welded to the MX hauler tongue to take up any end play after the receiver pin is set..that will vary from receiver hitch to receiver hitch brands...
    I also added remote lighting since the bike blocks half of my tail lights ..a LED stop light on the hauler platform that plugs into my hitch lighting so HWY patrol dosent hassle me ..

    • @tronixster
      @tronixster  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is brilliant carrier. It probably not recommended to use for big bikes like my 500 because the fact that the whole bike is resting on the skid plate and that's aluminum, it will definitely break soon. Am I wrong?

  • @jeremys4705
    @jeremys4705 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    They are great until they aren't. Super nice for use as a stand. However I have had a few and the welds kept breaking, the jack kept failing. Replacing the jack is easy but the welds made me too nervous. I gave it to a welder friend and it kept going for a while. Switched to moto tote a long time ago. No perfect solutions. Just keep an eye on the welds. They only break in the middle of nowhere!

    • @tronixster

    Thank you so much for doing this video. My only question is about any swaying? I hav a camper shell on my F250 that has two doors that open side by side so no straps can hook to the bed of my truck at all. I saw you used a strap to secure the handlebars. How much room between your handlebar and the back of your car?

    • @tronixster

      Lol I know but it's so hard to put it in and pull it out so I just put it around. But you are right

  • @robgrt
    @robgrt 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    There is a pretty significant design flaw with the U-MX... The silver retaining strap that goes around the jack is very weak and stretchable. After a while, it will fatigue and fail on you. There is a similar system that uses a better jack clamp system that prevents the jack from twisting. Look at the Switch Hauler system. Also, you didn't properly install your kotter pin. It needs to go through the hole to lock properly.

    • @tronixster

    • @robgrt
      @robgrt 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ive been thinking of ways to increase the torsional rigidity of this and I think I may have found a relative cheap way. I would drill two sets of holes for eye bolts. Two in the bumper and two in the center of horizontal table where the bike sits on. Then when the bike is on and everything is raised into its set place. I would attach two short Fast Gun clamps to it and tighten them up. I think it would do wonders for stabilizing the bike while going off road. What do you think?

      As someone who just built an 03 RM250, sell that thing while it runs and get a 03 and up yz250. RM parts are hard to find and expensive when you do. The YZ has been largely unchanged since 99 and almost everything interchanges. Parts availability better than any other bike made today.

    You are supposed to use ratchet straps from the handle bars to the carrier plate under the motorcycle frame. No way I would travel even 1 block like this. In a sudden maneuver the back wheel of the bike could hit the road / ground, causing drivers behind you to panic. Totally unsafe.

    Hey Paul - great video. Quick question: It's been a few months since this video . . . how is the hauler holding up? I've seen a few people recommend keeping a spare bottle jack on hand just in case the first one fails. Any challenges with any of the components on the hauler? Thank you!

    • @tronixster
      @tronixster  3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Hey man. This hauler is holding up really well, zero issues. Bottles jack failing is very unlikely honestly but if it ever does you can ask someone to help you pick up the bike while you install safety pin or you can use your car's native jack. I hope this helps. Over all this is solid hauler

      Bro I've just looked up Switch Hauler, never heard about it before. Looks like Switch Hauler has more adjustment and it looks more light duty but I would have to do some more research to tell the difference. I might even buy one and do a review on that too. Also Switch Hauler looks like a replica of a MX Hauler.

    • @newenglandscrambler2262
      @newenglandscrambler2262 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Look up your vehicle tow hitch tongue weight rating. That will tell you. Most should accommodate the weight of a dirt bike plus carrier, but likely not something much heavier. My Tacoma has the extra tow package installed and that drastically increases the tongue weight capacity, but it still tops out under 800 lbs, to give you some idea.

    • @algee8228
      @algee8228 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You also have to factor in how far back the weight of your bike is from the hitch. Your car's hitch is rated for tongue weight at the ball, and racks like this put the weight farther back than where the ball would be...the resulting leverage creates an equivalent torque on your vehicle higher than a trailer would. Suffice to say your vehicles max tongue load should be a fair margin higher than the weight of the bike.

    Man, I would not trust the connection point at the foot pegs, there needs to be more holding the bike to the base plate of the unit. Very novel design aside from that though. The steel plate structure is thick, looks like it's quarter inch plate and eighth inch in different areas. You gotta get rid of any moments of movement where possible in designs like this. I hope it serves you and others well.

    Is there a risk of it breaking on the highway? I’ve got a 4Runner myself and my dad wants me to sell it for a truck but I really don’t want to so I am considering a carrier like this. I’ve just heard that they’re super sketchy on the highway and I’m wondering if anyone thinks they’ll really break longterm?

    I like this and see no issues, except one. But it has to do with other people. If someone rear ends you it could total your bike depending on the impact. That’s one reason why truck or trailer is better, but other than the risk of people running into your bike I think these racks are great, especially if you don’t have anywhere to store a trailer and don’t have a pickup.
    This is the best one for a single bike by far!

      @fighter4christ7 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheDogDad because it is possible for all of the brunt of the damage to be absorbed by the trailer. A lot of them have gates/thick, tall walls or even fully enclosed. Damage will be done to the trailer for sure, but it possible to have the bikes unscathed depending on the intensity of the impact. I’d rather have a trailer repair and have it most likely still be road worthy right after the accident than having a lengthy bike repair and have it ruin the day planned for riding the bike.

    I was very nervous putting my brand new beach cruiser on this rack. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG6JIgwJhur8_Rg8UeQ3EmePzi_wSncL8 But after reading many reviews I decided to get this one and take a chance. When arrived it was very simple to adjust and put together. I also added spike tape over the metal hooks before securing and tightening the straps, and no scratches. I also purchased the top bar made by the same company so that my cruiser sits straight on the rack without having to turn upside down. Extra bungee cords are used to secure the front wheel from flapping and even piece of mind knowing your bike is secure. Definitely recommend...
