It´s a £5k+ bike with carbon frame, so i dont want to take my chances..
I was just looking for how the jimny will look with a huge bike rack basicly
, and now i know..Roof rack looked a bit, strange, and the rear rack will also look a bit huuge, but yeah, i can live with it.

Even it being a more expensive route, i think ill go for a Thule Velocompact 2..
Seems to be the most practical and safe solution for my use.
Looks a posh version of mine, you will have to take spare wheel off, and maybe the carrier as well if you want 2 bikes on it.
If it is nice at the weekend I can dig mine out and attach it to the jimny, it has been on, but I took one look at it and took it off again, wish I'd taken pictures at the time.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Yeah, yours is probably a bit older, dont think they make it anymore..
My towbar is like 10ft long (ok, maybe just 1ft), so i wont be suprised if i can keep the spare wheel on.. But i have no problems driving without it anyway.
Ordered it today, might have it this weekend.. Ill post a picture when its on
