4Runner + Motorcycle hauler (PICS)

Here's some pics I took last winter of my 4Runner hauling my Ducati in for a service. The 4Runner does quite well w/ a motorcycle back there. Keep in mind I was hauling with my stock suspension setup, I've not tried it with the full OME suspension upgrade yet. The stock rear springs took it pretty well. I do think that this MUST max out the tongue weight capacity of the 4Runner, a 400 lbs motorcycle and a ~80-85 lbs hauler.

Wow, that is a lot of weight for a 4runner. I have a yz125(210lbs) an an aluminem carrier(38lbs) and i thought that was alot. I will try to get up some pics of mine.
These carriers are pretty sweet arn't they.

That's why there are lights on the hauler.

I think I'd rather have a trailer than that contraption. Of course, the trailers are more expensive, though.

What happened to the Duc?
