This ones not bad either for the price but it looks like my $100 Walmart rack.

I hate the 1 1/4 to 2' adapter.

Excellent prices. I don't think this belongs in rack mounted drive trains though.

yea

but after putting you bike on it, I guess it is rack mounted...

I bought this same rack last week. It's identical to one at Walmart for $109.95except the name brand. If you're gonna buy China junk, why not pay the least $ for it ? I haven't used mine yet, but I have instaled it on my Jeep. I like the way the hitch pin screws through the receiver. You can snug it up and it cuts out a lot of the looseness/play in the connection joints. Now I'm working on a way to fasten my bike to it in a stationary manner so it doesn't swing back and forth and hit the tail gate. Anybody got an ingenious ideas for this fix ?

I always used ratcheting tie downs to hold the bike solid on the rack. Fastened them to the tailgate of my pickup truck. On a Jeep you should be able to find some similar tie down spot.
