Anyone have a bike rack?

What size rakattach is ideal for an L300 w 4 bikes? I'm basically working up your same setup but putting the bikes on the driver side instead of pass. Thx!

I did the medium. With the 1up all the way up, no bikes, everything pushed in as close to the van as possible, when it swings out it hits the body. So I slid my rack out like 1" and now no issues. If you want to be super safe, you could go for the large. If you look at rakattach suggestion, they say small. Ha.
 
Aight, I went Large. I want the rack slid as far in as possible to keep the weight more inboard. Delicas have such lovely angles of attack and departure, trying to avoid excessive dangle. Thank you!

I know it's not an amazing solution for everyone but building your own rack is very rewarding, can be cheap, and gives you a unique solution to your specific wants. On mine I have a heavily modified Yakima swingout, a custom made 2" receiver that is stout enough to pull a car trailer (loaded), and then a custom bike rack I made from various thule and Yakima rack parts I got off craigslist for very little.PXL_20221029_010448920.jpg
