Bike Carrier Recommendation 1 1/4 receiver

The trailer hitch install went well with only one bloody knuckle. The hardest part was drilling through thin hardened metal in the bumper ( and convincing DLW I wasn't hurting her car..). Just as I was dropping the car off the ramps after the receiver install Fed Ex dropped off the bike rack. Perfect timing! How about that? Gotta' go now.. there's still time to ride my bike today.
Mikie there is a 3/8 allen bolt that jams a wedged rod that pushes a 5/8 dia. steel ball into the side of the receiver. That's what holds the rack to the car. I'll be adding a cable lock of some kind to back up the factory lock mechanism.

Hey Steve. That looks like a Yorba Linda/Placentia/Anaheim neighborhood. ??? Local?
 
i love 1up rack.. such logical engineering ... bought mine after my old yakima high roller gave out on me.. my precious mtbk was hanging on by the strap on silverado. ...
yakima was great though... gave me a new highroller asap.. did not know there was a recall on my old version...

Received an email reply from 1Up USA about what qualifies as expedited shipping: Fedex Express Saver (which is the next level above their std. ground shipping)
That works out to be approx (based on shipping to SoCal):
$70 for the least expensive single rack
$100 for the least expensive double

Update: 1UP's warning about the 4-5 week std. shipping time is legit. Mine just arrived yesterday - ordered on March 29. I was in no hurry so skipped expedited shipping to save a few $. Very impressed so far.
