OP here: We sold the TT the rack was made for about a year ago. I can say that after a trip to the Keys and NC mountains before the sale it was holding up good. Bikes very stable on the rack. Only thing I noticed before the sale was the bike racks were beginning to rust. So you may want to spend a few more dollars on a better quality bike rack.
I ordered galvanized tapered stake pockets to build a rack for our new TT. Our bikes were old so we decided to replace them, and we went with the folding bikes on sale at CW that fit nicely in the truck bed, so that eliminated the need for a new rack.
good luck!!!
Thanks for the answer :) don't know why I never got a notice that you had posted. Just ran across this while I'm STILL looking for a way to get the bikes out of the back of the truck LOL
