G'day guys in a bit of a pickle this is for a gen3 Liberty sedan. I got a downhill bike and possibly a bmx bike I need to carry around. At the moment I don't have any means of transporting the dh bike except shoving it in a retarded way into the back seat (going to rip my leather soon).

So big question. Bike roof rack carrier. Or tow bar bike carrier. If anyone has some good pics please post them haha. And easier method I guess. Cheers. Looking to buy them tomorrow!!!!!

I just bought a Rhino Rack tow bar mounted 4 bike carrier.
Good thing, heaps better than the last rack I had.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Bump, also need to transport mountain bike around (just started to get in to it) and looking at getting roof racks so I can stop borrowing the old mans car haha.

I have Rola racks that clip onto the rails on my gen 2. The cross bars are good. But I wouldn't recommend the bike carriers for anything other than a low spec xc bike.

It only accommodates the quick release and the track isn't long enough for my bike with big tyres so I use a cam buckle strap.

If I was to buy new ones I would get thule because you can upgrade them to accept the thru axle wheels
