I should point out that I bolt the extender and rack on. So there is no movement like there would be with just a simple hitch pin. I just use the Yakima Capture nut deals with the lock bolt so the rack/bike can't walk away too easily

Couple of small issues so far with the duals:

One: Don't be a dumb dumb. Don't forget/lose your shifter oil slinger for the front case. Lots of gear oil will belch around the shift ball on the shifter, out the boot, and down all over your nice new skid plate, exhaust, rear axle, and well, every other thing out the back end of the truck that you really didn't need pricey synthetic 75-90 all over.

Two: The factory detent spring is NOT enough to hold new crawl box in low with the factory shift boot and a dog-leg shifter. It will just pop back into neutral with the resistance of the inner rubber boot. Boooooo. The solution: a heavier detent spring.

Luckily, Marlin Crawler has both a slinger and a detent spring for sale for 4 bucks each. Now, if ONLY FedEx could find their heads and figure out why a Package that was supposed to get here last week isn't here yet.

New Detent spring is in and it works great! New oil slinger is in, and hopefully there will be no more lost gear oil.
