Ok me and the kids are into BMX racing and i had
been putting the bikes in the back of the wagon
but that gets car dirty inside and ive stepped up to a bigger bike and it just don't fit!
so when i can i use the wifes van.So what is anyone using? roofrack, hitch mount rack,or one of those universal trunk/tailgate racks?
I would like to find someone to trade my not running truck for a small trailer.

If you look at the roof rack there are two allen bolts that screw into the end of them and hold plastic rectangular pieces in. take them out and look into a Yakima Rack or something similar. 4 modules slip into the grooves (take out the 2 original roof racks) of the original roof rack and you can actually put their largest bars across them - they are like 70" - I carry a carryall container, 2 bike, and 2 surfboards on the top of my wagon.

I use those cheap racks that have the hooks on the ends. Hook the bottom hooks to under the bumper (not the cover)then hook the top hooks to the roof rack. The roof rack will hold the weight. Those bike racks can hold three bikes. I fit my my 2 cruisers and a freestyle bike then I can also fit 2 20 inch racing and a pit bike in side when the seat is down. I`m a BMX collect so there is no dirt.

I have a 4 bike reese rack that I bought at walmart for $70.00 on clearance late last year [that I had to change from a 2" to 1 1/4", my hitch size] but I've yet to use it though! Do you want a picture?

I have a Thule rack, because I liked the surfboard rack better. When I purchased my bike I had 30 days to get 20% off any items. The bike shop only had Yakima racks, but they are made to also fit Thule. Anyway I bought one for the bike. All good roof mount racks cost money, but they can be moved from car to car. This is the third car my rack has been on. Visit Thule.com or Yakima to see what parts you may need and you can find them pretty cheap on ebay most of the time.

If you want a trailer Harbor Freight has a 4x8 in box that you put tohether. They also have one that folds up so you can keep it in the garage (I have this one) for about $230.

Here is the best pick of my rack I could find:
