I'll see if I can take some this week and send them, he made it to carry one bike, but it could easily be modified for 2 or more

I used this Bike Rack when I needed to haul 4 bikes. I too used cinch straps connected to the frame to avoid putting holes in the roof. I also modified the "feet" by adding an 8in X 24in piece of plywood and foam under each end to prevent damaging the roof from the four contact points on the stock rack. The only problem is that someone had to get on the roof of the PUP to take the bikes off. This always fell to the lightest person in our camping party. When we camp and do not need to take 4 bikes we use this Hitch Mount bike rack. It is a lot easier to take the bikes on and off with no need to get on top of the PUP. Of course now we have a 7 bike hauling capacity should the need ever arise.

This one looks very similar to the sixnall but at about $130 savings.
