Will do. So far it's pretty awesome. First hitch rack I've ever had and it's a lot nicer putting the bikes on there than (I imagine) putting them on the roof.
Here's the bulk of the initial impressions I threw on the other thread:
The SplitRail is insanely well built. It looks like it could carry far more weight than they rate it at (not that there are a lot of 60+ lb. bikes). The assembly was really easy and the integrated cable locks are handy (though I'd still loop a thicker cable through everything if I was going to leave it for any amount of time). Bikes mount securely.
Their anti-wobble thing is really nice and works really well. That's one of my main complaints about hitch bike racks (the slop in the hitch that results in a wobbly rack).
Lastly, it looks really nice which is important when it's on your truck.
RockyMounts is also right up the highway from me in Boulder, so things arrive really quickly even with Ground shipping.
If you have any questions about it, I'd be happy to try to answer them and I can report back after using it for the first time. Overall, two thumbs up from me.
It's kind of spendy at normal price, but RockyMounts runs sales pretty frequently. I got mine for a steal because I'd ordered a pair of roof rack bike holders that we perpetually back-ordered... so they let me use my discount code on anything (the code was only good for red, white or blue roof bike holders initially). I wasn't sold on lifting a bike onto the roof of the 4R anyway, so I guess it was meant to be.

This might be what I'll use my REI member dividends and discount on this year...that's how I got my other Rocky Mounts racks.

That's a great looking combo! I saw from your other post you are running 315/70/17 BF KO2s, correct? That's what I'm looking to upgrade to next from my current 285/70/17 Nitto Exo Grapplers. Do have a BMC done? Any rubbing issues?
Thanks! I was just concerned it looks silly with the rear that much higher than the front but I am hoping the back end will settle a bit. I supposed stock the rear is higher anyways.
Sweet! Yeah didn't look as bad today when I was endlessly staring at it, lol.
Honestly not sure it would add much other than a more level stance and a more difficult alignment job, lol. Will leave it as is for now and see how things settle.

Looks like a satin finish on that 4R. Is it vinyl wrapped?

picked up this beauty at Cabela's yesterday. holds a saw nice and tight, and the stiffer lift gate struts I put in when I did the ladder confidently hoist and lower the door even with the saw on. winning.
and then I promptly caught my RRT on the garage door backing my truck in after the door slipped due to a soft spring, and completely destroyed the garage door. losing.
so if anyone knows a garage door guy...
Great mod! [emoji106][emoji106]
