anyone mount a bike carrier on there sasquatch, wondering if there is a model that allows you to swing the back door open with the bikes still mounted. Regular tilt version won't work and the swing out version is in question, when adding the extension for the tailgate tire clearance.
any actual experiences or manufacturers test results ?

Here is one that a guy is using for a single bike on a jeep that would likely work on a bronco as well.

A roof rack could be an option but unless you’re 7’ tall it would be a PITA.

I assume seats are folded?

theres not a problem with getting the whole bike in the back of the 4door w/seats down, but looking for something more overland.

Try the Kuat Hi-Lo. It's a Hitch Extender plus you can drop the height of your rack b 2". I can swing my tailgate on my OBX, but I know your squatch tires are way bigger.

thanks Bonnie6g but unfortunately this would be too many mounts to put together to make happen for me, 1) I need an extension out of the hitch to clear spare tire 2) pivot arm 3) bike rack then the angle of the swing would change due to the extension and then the cost and ease doesn't seem what i'm looking for.
From all my research so far the USA1 seems to be the best answer for the sasquatch.
But keep the ideas and personal experiences coming, their still maybe a better answer

I was thinking about trying to make amount where the tire is with two trays upright but I'm not sure if the torque weight would be too much for the tailgate? Carry two carbon fiber bikes in the summer but two way heavier fat bikes in the winter.

Yes, the arm of the pivot swings the bike mount, either from driver side toward passenger (same as the tailgate) or the opposite direction and end up with your bikes swung out toward the driver side. The Pivot does not need an extension. It is its own extension.

Anyone with a 2 door storing a MTB in with just the front wheel off. A few guys did over on Bronco6x, just wondering if there's any issues and how easy it is to do. I'm not trying to take both wheels off as I ride 2 days a week at least, and not really interested in a hitch or 1up rack.

I can't see how you could do it unless you put passenger seat all the way ahead put the front fork in that space and the rear tire off to the driver side in the rear.

Hey Kitebrderaj40,
I have bad news for you. As an avid mtn biker, I have tried to fit my enduro bike into the back of my 2dr bronco every which way, and was not able to do it, without taking both wheels off. This of course is a pain the ass, and so I had to break down and buy a VelociRack. Best rack out there in my opinion.

Hey this one looks like a tail gate bender. What do you guys think?
