Today we are going to show you the rage dirt bike carrier part number AMC6002. It is a two bike dirt bike carrier designed for a two inch receiver. It comes with an anti-rattle device which is located back here and you simply tighten down these screws to lock it down into place. It is made of aluminum and steel construction, it comes with hangars here to strap down the dirt bike, so you have two here and two back here. The dirt bike carrier also comes with these pins which we will slide in here for bikes with smaller tires. If you have a larger bike, simply take the pin out and your tire will rest in the larger crevice there which will help with stability while you are towing. 1:17

It also comes with this ramp that you see here, which detaches and you set it on the rear of the dirt bike carrier for loading and off-loading of the bikes, the max weight for this carrier is 600 pounds. Now we will go ahead and load a bike onto the carrier. We will start by taking this ramp off here, you have two little wing nuts and the ramps slides off the front. Now I am going to attach the ramp back here in the back, there is a little lip right here so this will rest right on that lip. I am going to load the bike now. 2:04

Now that we have the bike loaded here, I am going to grab a ratchet strap and attach it to the attachment point down here, then I will find some point to attach to up here at the motorcycle. Now that I have this side we will move to the other side and do the same thing. Now that your bikes are securely in place we will take the ramp off here and place it back onto the front and we will put our wing nuts back into place. And this will conclude our demo of part number AMC6002 the two dirt bike carrier from Rage. 3:50

@laxrider616 You will need to check the owner's manual of your Jeep to make sure that the Jeep, as well as the hitch you have in place, can handle the weight of the carrier when it is loaded. To prevent damage or a dangerous situation, you can not overload the vehicle or the hitch's weight capacity. As long as the Jeep can handle the weight, this carrier should work.

Can this be used on a shorter wheelbase vehical such as a jeep?

@Truelight54 I understand your concern. As long as you stay within the weight limits of your vehicle, the hitch, and the motorcycle carrier, everything should stay safe. The steel shank and anti-tilt device that are incorporated into this particular carrier prevent any dangerous sway or shifting of the motorcycles while they are being transported.

A receiver carrier might be a good idea for one bike, but two??! This thing really extends way off the back of the vehicle and I'd think the torque on the receiver on a bumpy road would be severe. (Not to mention having the vehicles headlights pointing at the sky).
