Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi
Does anyone know if Willwood Systems is still selling their hitch mounts?
Does anyone have one that they would like to sell?
Or does anyone have a Bird Rack that they would like to sell?
They seem like the best options for hauling a mountain bike on a Boxster.
Thanks.
I believe Will was getting up in age so he sold the business. They rebranded as SportTows, but are still family owned and made in San Antonio, TX. I purchased the receiver and hitch for my track trailer about 2 years ago, after the new owners and rebrand. Communication was not the most responsive, but they arrived and they are great quality. Installed it myself. There's not a better solution out there IMO... the whole thing is completely hidden behind the flip up plate when not being used. They still do the bike rack receiver too I believe.
Thanks so much for this. I would probably not have found them otherwise.
How difficult of an install is this? It’s hard for me to tell from the website. How do the 2 brackets that attach behind the black bumper covers function? Are all 3 pieces somehow connected? Or do they just add reinforcement?
I can add pics from my install, but not sure how. Is there a way or is that not available to me yet since I'm a new forum member?
The heavy-duty bumper brackets connect the metal bumper to the car chassis itself under each taillight, if that makes sense. I could probably do it again it 2-3 hours, but I'd give yourself a Saturday for a first time install and if you like to take your time. The plastic bumper cover has to be removed. Not difficult, just takes a bit of time.
That would be great to see some of your photos of the install. Does this system work with any hitch-mounted bike rack? I emailed them, but have not heard back. Yet.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
