This is a nice concept. Been a cyclist myself for a long time (Mtn 26yr, Road 21yr). Luckily I still have my Xterra to haul bikes and gear around.
But, the discussion and comments reminds me of what I did with my old truck and with the Xterra - make customized racks because what was available from the factory or the rack companies wasn't quite right.
I've always wanted fork mount racks as the upright versions are just too wiggly. I really like the tow hook mount location you guys have come up with. I'm really just commenting to say that and also if you find the need for more stiffness/stability, I have found that the full-length fork mount trays work really well. I have Yakima Steelheads on the Xterra, but I'm not sure they still make them. The full length adds stiffness to the whole thing.
