Purchased a Special Edition 1-Up rack and Rakattach about a year ago. It was a fund raiser for youth cycling. Just got my Bronco and fitted it. Love that the anodized blue matches but that was a coincidence. My wife said I look like Captain America. I took it as a compliment as I don’t look anywhere near as good as Chris Evans.
Extremely solid but the two pieces together are really heavy. Guessing around 100 lbs. However, there is one issue, the magnetic locking pin that keeps the arm from rotating will NOT work with Broncos or Wranglers as designed. I find that utterly amazing given how many go on those two vehicles. The tire blocks you from inserting the pin from the top down (the only way it can go). I had to drill out and finish a new hole about 10 inches further out on the swing arm. Profoundly poor decision on their part (note it is just a rebranded Kuat swing arm so it will have the same issue).
That said, once done and installed it is fantastic to swing the bikes out of the way and open the tailgate unencumbered.
