Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee we're gonna be test fitting the Yakima SwingDaddy four bike rack for two inch hitches, this is part number Y02464.We already have our bike installed here, let's take a closer look and something that set this apart from most hanging style bike racks is the fact that this can tilt and swing . excuse me this can swing away completely from the vehicle, giving you full hatch access. Now you can't do this with other hanging style bike racks, especially when all four bikes are still attached, but you can in this situation.To swing it away it's very easy, you come to this handle in the back, loosen it up by turning it to the left all the way until it's hanging out like that, then we'll come to the switch at the front, lift up, and pull away. We'll go until it's about almost 90 degrees then we'll swing just this portion around until you hear that click and then we'll push it out the rest of the way to the side of the vehicle and now we have full access to our rear hatch with no interference from bikes.To put it back in its original position is just as easy, you simply reverse a lot of the processes. However, you do first start with this red switch in the center, you push that down like so to release it from its folded out position bringing it to about just over 90 degrees, pulling this handle here again, and then pushing it back the rest of the way. Finally tightening up that handle at the rear.Now let's take a look at some of the other features here. more
