I had a few members ask about the clearance and my thoughts on the 1up Quick-Rack and the FJ. So here is a quick review.....
1up USA Ultra Rack
Right out of the box you notice the craftsmanship and quality of this rack. All aluminum and stainless steel fasteners.
Next is the weight, This thing only weighs about 25lbs. Love the way it folds up and stores right in the back of the FJ. Your not putting a T2 or Holdup in there.

One problem with hitch mount racks on the FJ is clearance with the spare. I'm running steelies with stock size F/S Destination ATs but my pedal cleared the stock alloy/tire combo too.

Access to the rear door is great. The single tray 1up allows the door to fully open when mounted. Larger spares and the double tray 1up you will need to tilt the rack down.

With the bike mounted and tilted down the access is still good. Enough to get stuff in and out. The door hit's my fork but your bike may allow the door to open wider.

Overall one of the best racks I've ever used. The receiver mount system they use is solid and secure. The rack does not move when tightened.
The best part compared to the other racks is this thing will not rust or have any plastic pieces crack. It does cost more then the others but it's worth every penny.
