2" receiver fit.

[PhattyX]

OK, I put a 2" receiver on the rear of my CJ just to be able to have a rear tow point (D-Ring). For Xmas, I got a very nice bike rack that mounts in the receiver. However, the bike rack is very loose in the receiver and bounces around a lot on the road.

Has anyone run into something like this? Is there anything typically to do to make an end a little more stable in the receiver?

Thanks,

X

Electrical tape around the shaft before you put it in the reciever is a quick fix.

Glue!

Most folk I've talked to use either duct tape or exhaust tape (the aluminum tape). Duct tape is cheaper but doesn't hold up as long. It's normal for a receiver to be that loose. If it were a solid connection, you'd never get it back out after a few days of road grit and sand getting in it.

Shim it with sumthin.
