Bob, on my last 5er I built a bracket out of angle iron and a 2" reciever and had it welded together. Cost for iron, reciever & welding was about $25. Then I bought a 4 bike carrier cost about $90. So for about $115 I had a pin box carrier for our bikes. I had a long bed truck and never had a problem with clearance and I put a cover over the bikes so it kept bugs off my cap. My last MS that burned had a Trail-Aire box and I wasn't sure about mounting a reciever on it plus we had electric scooters that we carried in the basement. Well the MS burned and the scooters got stolen so now we have anothe MS with a regular pin box and I'm getting ready to build my carrier again. I cant find any pictures of my old one but when I get my new one built I'll post some.
