Today our 2015 Dodge Durango, were doing a test fit of the Thule road way hanging style two bike rack. That part number is TH912XTR. Now that we've already got our bike on the rack we're first going to show you how we strap that down. We've got two cradles holding it in place ace with three straps, two on the frame here and one is our anti-sway strap in the back, that's going to keep that bike from swinging back and forth and possibly hitting your vehicle. To remove those we'll just pull down and lift up and we save the anti-sway strap for last. We can pull our bike off and set it off to the side here and it's a good habit to always replace your straps whenever youre not using them, so that you don't lose or damage any. Now Ill take a few measurements. Now if our arm is hanging out our overall length to the back of the vehicle is going to be about 24 and three quarter inches, if you're wanting to park in a close quarters parking spot like a parking garage we can come up here to this grey level lift right up that's going to lock those arms down in a still position. Here we are only adding about 14 and a quarter inches our ground clearance is going to about 11 and a quarter inches and our closest point is right back here at this grey lever at three and three quarter inches.
