Thanks for this video. I’ve had my 1up for about a year. Saw this video a week ago. Just finished installing the reverse side plates. Game changer. I wish I would have known about these earlier.
I'd like to add my thanks for putting out this video. Exactly right for my JKU with a 35" spare on the back. I can confirm that everything he claims in the video works out exactly as he said. For reference, I got the single carrier plus two add-ons, have a factory hitch, Rockhard aluminum bumper, and the spare is on the Teraflex HD rear tire carrier. All three bikes sitting nicely on there right now.
Genius!!! I’ve been looking for months for a bike rack that will work and allow me to open the tailgate and get to my fridge in the back of my truck. I found like you all of the racks are oriented in the upward fashion never thought to call one up thanks for making this video
Although I did not need the reversed side plates, I did need the hitch extender to clear a 37" tire. I LOVE this bike rack. I had the Quadratec for about a month and it's quite good for the money, but I wish I would have known about this before ordering the Quad. Great rack!
Great video & product, I bought the reverse side rails for my JL. It works great for a mountain bike but for a drop bar bike your bars will hit the spare tire unless you have it hanging out on the bar side. The set up i ending up using is a 2 inch drop/rise hitch adapter an standard rails and rear door clears and opens up all the way. Also you can use 2 inch rise and reverse rails if you want your hitch higher .
Thanks for this video. I've had a 1up rack for years. They are the best. However, I just traded my truck for a JL and I was so bummed that my rack interfered with the spare tire. This video SAVED ME! Flipping my side plates and getting the extension tomorrow.
Just ordered my 2" super duty single yesterday with the reversed side plates..... $65 up-charge for that but it should be worth the $$$ for the extra clearance. Thanks for the heads up on the option. Surprised 1up doesn't promote this more.
Agreed. I had to cancel my order and am waiting for them to refund me to re-order. Had they had it listed, would be sooooo much easier. Should be a disclaimer for Jeep Wrangler owners to do this. Less hassle. But the customer service there isn't responding to emails about my cancellation, so... I might just go over and order the Mach 2 if they don't get back to me.
Thanks for the video. I also have a jeep and did not know about the reverse option. That is something that I need and had with my thule. I will be calling 1up tomorrow to order mine! I'm also from Maryland and my son is at Calvert Hall!
Great video! I was already leaning towards this rack, but your demo on the reverse plates sealed the deal! My Jeep has a 37" spare hanging on the Poison Spyder Rock Brawler w/ swing out carrier.
Awesome Video and Editing' with Great Controled Cadence! And The Carrier Just Rules! That Price Is Incredibly Reasonable For That Kind of Engineering and Quality! Thank You! and Safe Trail Trekin Always!👍🇺🇸
Just watched your spider tire carrier install (nice work) looks structurally stronger then DV8, however, I enjoy DHMB a whole lot more then my jeep lol! & your detail discription of this bike rack got me to subscribe...I'm getting both, spider (for 35 tho) & rack for sure....thanks Ride hard💯.
Will it still fold up completely vertical with the reverse side plates? In the video you demonstrated it in the up position, but is was still leaning back a bit.
My Superduty Single just arrived, and the knob for the rack adjustment is screwed down so tight that I can’t unscrew it to pull up the adjuster bar. Tried WD40 and a wrench. This ever happen to you?? Super frustrating
This is great. I have the exact same tire carrier on my JKU and I have been looking for options. Do you recommend speaking with anyone specific at 1up when ordering this?
Do you think the standard side plates would work on a stock rubicon with the tailgate open with the tire on and clear the rack with the bike off ? Or would you still need the reversed side plates.
I think it's going to solve a lot of challenges for a lot of people. It's the best out there....but really (other than the low end varieties) it's really not much different in pricing that the other major brands.
Great videos! Question: I have a similar issue. My 2002 4Runner has a swing out with a 35" spare. The distance between the top of the receiver and bottom of the spare is about 3 inches. The spare comes out about 14" from the face of the receiver. Do you think I could get away with ordering a regular side plate Super Duty single? I imagine that I would need to use a 12" extender with whatever side plate orientation that I choose. I have a full length swing arm and an upward opening hatch. So no matter the situation, I would have to dismount the bikes from the carrier in order to open the rear hatch. I am fine with that. IF you were not trying to open your rear, (or in my case, my rear) hatch, would you still order the reverse side plates? Thanks in advance.
That's a real good question because I just got my 1UP Equip-D rack and it's beautifully made. However - there is one big problem I have and it's the "Security" lock hitch pin. IT'S COMPLETE GARBAGE!!! The shank is so thin on this thing it's ridiculous. Fit a pipe over the lock cylinder for leverage, pull and that thing will snap off like butter. Because of the locking ball in the hitch, the slot in the hitch had to be offset downward so you can't use the full diameter of the hole in your receiver for a thicker pin. No way around this apparently, so the pin is absurdly thin to fit through the receiver holes and offset hitch slot. Very worrisome and disappointing design for a rack this pricey. In fact, the new Equip-D Hex bolt is not even a security hex bolt like the one here. Just a regular hex. That's my only complaint, but it's a big one!
hey thanks for the Vid, you motivated me to get the same rack for my jeep, but question does your rack wobble at high speed? mine does pretty bad, i have an extender to clear the rear tire, i have two bike carriers and made sure i always tighten everything before i drive away.
great video as always quick question i get that you can lock the rack into hitch but is there something built in that you can lock the tire ratchet so bikes cannot be removed from rack ?
Yes, 1UP sells pin locks similar to the one shown for locking rack to the hitch extension in this demo. The pins utilize the unused holes on the two ratchet bars. They offer several lengths of pins in case you go with the FAT TIRE option to widen the ratchet bars to accommodate wider tires.
So I have a quick question would you be able to open the hatch door on your sons car( hitch position is the same as mine)with the normal position of the side panels not the reversed configuration. Thanks !!! ....great vid BTW!
They do! But I got the single bike with the 1 bike add on... So I can go back and forth as needed. I only carry one bike 99% of the time... But in 30 seconds...can convert it to a 2 bike rack.
@193001 kiplssd I just checked the website, and you can get 4 bikes starting with the double and adding two addon trays. If you start with the single, you can only add two add-ons for a three bike maximum.
Check out the video at @7:10 and you will see there is a bolt screwed in at the bottom. That is simply a limiting bold that stops the rotation at the bottom. In fact, you could adjust the amount of tilt by drilling/tapping/moving this bolt on each side!
@@o3djeeps great....thanks..... did they give you those bolts? my order was shipped incomplete and i needed 1up to send me the bolts, washers and nuts to attach the trays and also the "super duty" bar which were all left out of my shipment.
@@o3djeeps apparently some QC was lacking the day they boxed up my rack. i literally have called them twice to send me missing parts.... not going to call a third.
*Fits my car perfectly with my new **Latest.Bike** raker , very easy to set up and take down. Great quality and price, very happy with this purchase!*

I would have just fabricated a bracket to mount it on my tire carrier and that’s it . You have the perfect tire carrier to make it work .

That rack is rad. My dad has one with 4 mounts i love how it slopes up as it goes back. I use a Thule T2 because its cheap. It is also very heavy.
Thank you for this!!!! I've been looking for months.

thank you for sharing this.
I got a used Yakima spare tire rack mount... Happy with that one, it also works as a spare tire lock so that's a bonus.
Thanks for this video. Saved me... I just called to re-do my order for my wrangler jk. I'm ordering a curt 8 inch extension from e-trailer though.
Thanks for the video. I also have a jeep and did not know about the reverse option. That is something that I need and had with my thule. I will be calling 1up tomorrow to order mine!
I'm also from Maryland and my son is at Calvert Hall!

Dude put more money into his bike rack set up then he spent on his bike. 😂😂
And then this happened... ua-cam.com/video/eyKiUM0BRMs/v-deo.html :-)
😂
This is a very helpful video. Thanks much!
Great Video! Missed you man!

Ride hard💯.
FYI, 1up doesn’t do the reversed side plates anymore. Would have been an easy solution, too bad.
They do! I ordered mine 2 days ago, but stock was limited.
So bummed they stopped manufacturing the reverse plates
Placed an order today. The bad part is that they're on back order right now.
Will it still fold up completely vertical with the reverse side plates? In the video you demonstrated it in the up position, but is was still leaning back a bit.
My Superduty Single just arrived, and the knob for the rack adjustment is screwed down so tight that I can’t unscrew it to pull up the adjuster bar. Tried WD40 and a wrench. This ever happen to you?? Super frustrating
Nice review and great solution. I need to look into this. BTW, did you ever get those other bolts onto CJ’s TJ bumper?
"A fold-out option is super expensive..." Dude, have you seen your Jeep???
NM! I watched more video🙃
This is great. I have the exact same tire carrier on my JKU and I have been looking for options. Do you recommend speaking with anyone specific at 1up when ordering this?
Do you think the standard side plates would work on a stock rubicon with the tailgate open with the tire on and clear the rack with the bike off ? Or would you still need the reversed side plates.
I was wondering if that reversed side plate model would also work on my car as well?
I am new to this so this may seem like a stupid question but would an extension with a drop accomplish the same thing?
swivel mount is better
Great video! a bit pricey though.. I am looking at it hard though, since I can't find anything else that will work
I think it's going to solve a lot of challenges for a lot of people. It's the best out there....but really (other than the low end varieties) it's really not much different in pricing that the other major brands.

Whats the trunk cover?
have you seen the north shore bike rack works perfect with the JK
Maybe some... but wouldn't have worked with my Jeep! :-)
How well does this rack work with a road bike given the thinner wheels/tires? It seems the bike might rattle in the wide channel. Thanks
So what is reverse side plates mean? I needed this for my Jeep also.
How do you protect it from theft?
That's a real good question because I just got my 1UP Equip-D rack and it's beautifully made. However - there is one big problem I have and it's the "Security" lock hitch pin. IT'S COMPLETE GARBAGE!!! The shank is so thin on this thing it's ridiculous. Fit a pipe over the lock cylinder for leverage, pull and that thing will snap off like butter.

I have a 2019 JLR. Will it be possible to open the tailgate when the hard top is on?
hey thanks for the Vid, you motivated me to get the same rack for my jeep, but question does your rack wobble at high speed? mine does pretty bad, i have an extender to clear the rear tire, i have two bike carriers and made sure i always tighten everything before i drive away.
My 1UPUSA rack is really solid, even while driving offroad. I'd suspect your hitch extender is the problem.
great video as always quick question i get that you can lock the rack into hitch but is there something built in that you can lock the tire ratchet so bikes cannot be removed from rack ?
Yes, 1UP sells pin locks similar to the one shown for locking rack to the hitch extension in this demo. The pins utilize the unused holes on the two ratchet bars. They offer several lengths of pins in case you go with the FAT TIRE option to widen the ratchet bars to accommodate wider tires.
how long is your hitch extension?
So I have a quick question would you be able to open the hatch door on your sons car( hitch position is the same as mine)with the normal position of the side panels not the reversed configuration. Thanks !!! ....great vid BTW!
I'm wondering the same thing. I got the TJ with 33's and same bumper as the son.
Great video as always. Do they have a 2 bike version?
They do! But I got the single bike with the 1 bike add on... So I can go back and forth as needed. I only carry one bike 99% of the time... But in 30 seconds...can convert it to a 2 bike rack.
@193001 kiplssd I just checked the website, and you can get 4 bikes starting with the double and adding two addon trays. If you start with the single, you can only add two add-ons for a three bike maximum.
so @ 9:24...... and 21:31...... how did you make your bike stay in the outward tilting position without a notch on the side plates for it?
Check out the video at @7:10 and you will see there is a bolt screwed in at the bottom. That is simply a limiting bold that stops the rotation at the bottom. In fact, you could adjust the amount of tilt by drilling/tapping/moving this bolt on each side!
@@o3djeeps great....thanks..... did they give you those bolts? my order was shipped incomplete and i needed 1up to send me the bolts, washers and nuts to attach the trays and also the "super duty" bar which were all left out of my shipment.
@@richkocsis yah... All that was pre-installed
@@o3djeeps apparently some QC was lacking the day they boxed up my rack. i literally have called them twice to send me missing parts.... not going to call a third.
What size tires on your boys TJ ?

what size is the Trek bike?
Large
You lost me at "I sold my road bike"...
