Are there any local Ultimate Yota folks that are going to make it out?
I know a lot of us have an SUV, Jeep or other "non" trucks. Although piling bags of trash in the back can work, many don't want to take the risk of hurting the interior of their vehicle or just don't have the room!
If you have a hitch mounted bike rack you may have the perfect alternative. I simply looped the bag back on itself to make sure it gets a good grip and doesn't go anywhere.
Take a look:
Keep in mind that the bags will sway around back there and I don't recommend any highspeed or highway driving with this set up. It may just make the difference in carrying enough trash to make a difference though.
I loop my garbage bag around the wiper pivot on my 84. Mine is at the top, so it obscures the rear window, but you could hang it from your wiper also, and it wouldn't be in the way.

Good idea. I gotta get a burlap sack to take with me on runs. It'll last a heck of a lot longer.Originally Posted by 04 Rocko Taco
