Hi Randy,

On my car, I think 3 will be the limit. On my wife's car, the bars are longer, and 4 will not be a problem.

I have thought about a trailer. I've found one that I like, but at $1600, I'll hold off for awhile. Maybe I can use the high as an excuse to buy a welding rig , learn welding, and build my own. Yeah, more tools!!
