sid, i like front wheel off. very secure feeling. i also have a bad shoulder, the extra front wheel makes it a tad more unwieldy. the more i wrestle with it, the shoulder feels it.

thats why i said go with yakima. they offer super brain dead easy light mounts, axe/shovel mounts/spare tire mounts/gas can mounts blah blah.
rei usually carries most of the items. if they dont then order it under "yakima rack parts accessories."
we have some other racks over the years for baja rigs. either home fabbed or purchased. both really heavy and permanent.
the thing about these how ya load them. i started our quest journey with a bunch of crap in a waterproof box. well after needing the crap camping and watching gas mileage suffer. i reconfigured all the crap and stuffed the box inside the shell as we needed crap daily for camping. after getting rid of the "brick" my gas mileage went back up to normal.
so its all how ya pack 'em.
leave crap up there ya might need. the only crap i left up there was crap if stolen wasnt going to break the bank and camp chairs which were easy on and off. water jugs camp chairs grill.............ya know CRAP!
it adds a hell of alot of room to either a bed or a shell for CRAP! and wez gotta a LOT OF CRAP when we go on a roadtrip/hunting/fishing/baja etc.
whats great is how LIGHT they are. 2 guys on and off in minutes like i said. right now i yanked the rack and the crossbars off so i can go thru the car wash.............TOO SIMPLE HUH?
