Bike Rack
 

Greetings.
Just purschased the Thule Fishing Holder looking to add a bike rack to the hood.
No hitch on the blazer.
Any good recomondations.

I am looking for one that attaches directly to the roof rack and one that I do not have to take the bike apart.

Well, when you ask for someones help finding something or solving a problem, it is always good to have the necessary information. You should post some basic info about your Blazer in your signature, might help a little next time. I could not find you an exact match to your particular blazer, because I don't know the year, # of doors, that tyoe of thing. So anyway, here is a site where you can find what you are looking for:

Sorry about that. 2002 Blazer 4 dr I have factory installed rood racks.
I was looking to see if anyone had a reccomadation for a particular brand they use.
I was hoping to find a bike rack that attaches directly to my existing luggage rack rather then having to buy a rack to install on my existing rack.

All of the Thule/ Yakima Systems I am looking require you to buy Brand Rack that attaches to your luggage rack. Seems redundant to me.

Wow I hope that made sence.

Well, there is a rack on the site called the Raptor. It is only $100 plus $25 for the attatchments that make it able to fit your factory roof rack. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me.

RE: Bike Rack
 

Yep. That is a nice one. Thanks. I did not realize the number of these things out there. Off the hook.I am going to take the weekend to think about it.
Thanks for the help again.
I am either going with the raptor or this one that looks very aerodynamic and connects directily to existing luggage rack. Barracuda by Swegman.

That one is pretty sweet too! Gotta love the name: Barracuda! Glad I could help you out!

RE: Bike Rack
 

Me too.
It is pretty sweet looking. Between that and the Fishing Rack there is not gonna be any room at the inn up on the luggage rack.
Good thing I have the whole cargo area with seats down.

Yeeee haw.
