Mmmm sexyThey go well together.
Seems like an easy choice for me, but I’m lazyLooks like a tough choice. Ride the bike or drive the Bronco?

I love it! I have yet to put it past level 3, it moves! (And I’m jealous of the Sur-Ron!).Nice bike man, how do you like it?.
Sweet looking e-bike. I wish they were a little cheaper - Tried one out for the first time this past Summer and it was amazing!I’m too old to be suffering up hills. It’s an e-bike.
What mount, and can you off road decently with it on there?They go well together.
It’s the Kuat NV 2.0. Great rack. A little on the expensive side. You can definitely off-road with it but obviously your departure angle will be limited. I wouldn’t be doing any 3-4+ rated trails, but forest/powerline roads are fine. Just make sure the bike is clamped down tight.What mount, and can you off road decently with it on there
Quick update to this question - 2 door was delivered and I'm seriously debating it. One trip I take with the JL is a combo bike/4x4 trip. JL bike is inside, but I'd be willing to go with a Kuat bike rack, that looks solid. 99% of the time I'm mountain biking I won't be 4 wheeling so the use case for having a bike rack makes sense.It’s the Kuat NV 2.0.

Theoretically, yes, but it’s rather large. Flipped up you shouldn’t have any problems unless you’re tackling ledges/waterfalls over 3’. And in that case if you were going to hit the rack, I’d prob just take it off and walk it up the obstacle.So........on the 1% is it pretty quick to take the Kuat or 1UP rack off, throw it inside the 2 door with the bike, then put it back on.
Perfect, even better. Trails I'm on are mostly east coast mountains (Uwharrie, GA/NC mtns), so should be good to go.Theoretically, yes, but it’s rather large. Flipped up you shouldn’t have any problems unless you’re tackling ledges/waterfalls over 3’. And in that case if you were going to hit the rack, I’d prob just take it off and walk it up the obstacle.
When I was talking about 3-4 level trails, I meant flipped down with the bike on the rack. If you have room to put the bike inside on occasion, you should be able to tackle most situations with the rack flipped up.
Good example-
Below is a decent sized obstacle, if I had the rack flipped up it prob would’ve hit. I’d say this size would be the limit.
One last question - is there any reason why people don't use the spare tire carrier? I'm just thinking I'll only have 1 bike max, so weight shouldn't be an issue, and it seems easier to take off and store if need be. Also........quite a bit cheaper since I'll have to buy a hitch, hitch extender, and the 1UP or Kuat.Theoretically, yes, but it’s rather large.
