Looks nice.....i would be so worried of people rear ending meor driving to close!

Yeah, I hear ya! I've been running this setup for a while now (used to use same rack on 4Runner).
So far, I've been lucky, I guess. There are pro's and con's to both hitch rack and roof rack setups. I prefer this one.

Hitch itself cost me 95 shipped. It required a very minor mod. Had to drill the holes out just a bit because they didn't line up right.
The rack (Sportworks) is quite price at $295, but it's worth every penny. By far the easiest and fastest rack to load/unload any bike on/off out of everything I've seen/tried.

whatkind bikes are they

I've got a Planet-X RAD and my wife rides a Titus Racer-X. I also have a Litespeed Vela (road) and my wife has an Elsworth Joker (set up for DH)
I've spent WAY more money on bikes than I have on cars, over the past 5-6 years (eek2)

if you got a roof rack, USE IT!
bikes belong up top!
makes for an even meaner grocery getter

Can't find pics of others at the moment.

Yeah, bikes definitely looker cooler up on the roof! If it was all about the looks, that's where I'd carry mine. I've had several roof racks and I prefer what I have now.

Yeah, I thought I was buying the car in hopes of toting bikes around to the hills to ride, but that bike's been up there all of twice.

It will scratch the s*** out of your car.
