Bicycle carrier front of truck or pin box. (Updated W/pics)
Ok guys, I keep going back and forth on a location of a bicycle carrier. For those of you that have had both which did you prefer and why? Thanks, John

OPer here. Thanks to everyone who responded. Much to think about. I was leaning to the pin box rack mainly because of cost. I can make the hitch part for around 30-35 bucks. The Curt front hitch that mounts under the truck along with the blocker beam is 190 bucks. Me I am cheap. Anyway got the 5er home tonight from storage. I did some measuring and I only have 36 inches between the cap of the 5er and the rear window. I stood the bikes as close together as I could and from handle bar tip to handle bar tip was 27 inches. I just don't see how they will fit and not hit on the easiest of turns. I think I will just bite the bullet and get the front mount hitch. I can see where the bikes will be easier to mount. Thanks again, John.
