OEM Hitch For Bike Carriers not working well?

[Goriders]

Thanks for the link. I did a quick google search and it appears the the Rocky Mountain and Thule bolts are the same M12 x 1.75 pitch. At $9.95, I am willing to take the risk. Will let everyone know when I receive it.

howdy. Just following up to see if you got your hitch pin yet. I found a couple more on amazon that looked like they might work as well.

Hi, not yet. It is shipping USPS and is tracking for Friday arrival.

I found a similar one from MAXXHAUL on amazon. 4” span. I’m going to but it and see if it works. It should from measuring the hitch.

Thanks for the good idea.

Kuat Bike Rack no issues. Bought the below hitch lock/pin which fits perfectly. More of a deterrent anyways.

The Rocky Mounts extended hitch pin arrived today and it works. Not bad for $9.95 plus shipping and tax. It's about 3/8" longer than the Thule threaded hitch pin I had. And allows the Thule lock to attach.

I bought the MAXXHAUL 50563 Threaded Hitch Locking Pin on amazon.

It fit perfectly with the new tacoma boxed hitch. It was $18 Can. I used the old Thule, nut and washer as well as the lock that came with my original carrier as it was a little better quality in my opinion.

Works perfect with my 1UP.

Works perfect with my 1UP.

What are you using for a hitch pin? The one that came with my 1up is too short.

I've never used a hitch pin with the 1up
