Well that's just it. I had a Focus SVT w/ a roof-rack for a bit, but as a bike hauler.... Bugs, a Brooks that you really can't get wet (only the heaviest baggy will work, but even they shred), so I thought the 4dr Wrangler might work. Fold/remove the back seat. Never measured the floor/ceiling distance. The new little Ford van has promise but doesn't have enough sex as far as I'm concerned. A VW GTI van would work. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Good luck with that. I had a General Motors mini van 6 years ago that I could do that with. When I got my Ford Mini 2 Years later I couldn't do it any more becauseof a bench rear seat an not enough length for my bikes anyway. Then went to roof racks. We are now looking at a full sized van. I don't think my bikes would fit inside a wranger without lowering the seat .. then I don't see the length with a rear seat. Since buying my Rivendells I've had a nightmare with roof mounts too. The only rack that works well is my tandem rack for fender clearance. I found a simliar design at draftmaster which is made for bikes with fenders. At 114 bucks I may have to buy some to replace my thules. I forgot to mention that locking the bikes to the roof has worked well ...though I hate the bugs and such.. the bra's just add wind resistance and kill gas milage dramatically. Kelly Good luck with that. robert zeidler wrote: > Here's why I ask?
