Pin box bike rack

Front mount bikes racks are an option. However they present clearance issues,may block headlights and vision,extend the front end and reduce air flow to the engine. Pin box racks do not create any of the above issues.
I had a front end rack for awhile, but then I discovered the superiority of tongue mounted/pin box bike racks and have not looked back.

I've been told that you can have them on the front of your truck and that is what I'm going to look into.

I've heard stories about bikes working their way off the back of trailers because of the rough ride back there. I think if the front idea doesn't work I'll be looking into something on the pin box.

Scott 85 you also have a short bed which may create clearance issues

A bit confused. How are you going to install a pin box mounted bike rack, and not remove your cover to do it?

Here is a picture, I don't know if I called it the right thing.

Arvika is the Canadian company... Pricey though

There is a Canadian company that makes them but I can't remember the name. But I seem to remember comments about them being expensive. I made mine for $20 for a receiver tube plus some scrap angle iron I had laying around. Really pretty simple to make if you (or a good friend) have welding skills. Or a weld shop could make one from a picture of one that some of us have made.
Could even make a bolt up model if you don't weld.

I had a custom fabricated one made for our MorRyde Pin box.....Love it! Cost about $75 to have done. There are multiple post about them and different ways to mount them to various pin boxes. However, I don't think there is anything made expressly for the pin box. Hopefully, others will chime in. Phillip
