What model 1up is this? Also how is everything working with hitch part flipped? Any issues?This thread reminded me to do work. I took my single OneUp rack slightly apart to flip the hitch part. With that I can fully open the tail gate with the rack in the completely rolled away position and the leaves open. At least I can now sit and change shoes or chug beer!
Works great! This is the unit I bought. I usually modify everything to suit so I went with "affordable". You can ADD more bike trays if you want. If money allows; you can add this to the mix: RackAttach. They have all kinds of handy things in their product catalog.
Just wow! Clean look with the camper shell too.New custom side plates let the rack sit under the tailgate completely:

Doesnāt fold, but I donāt care. Itās so much more out of the way and really doesnāt seem even close to being any kind of a dragging hazard.

I took two 1UP USA van trays, a pair of toggle clamps to latch to the stock D-ring tiedowns, and built a wood frame for bike trays. Oriented opposite of their hitch rack. it wedges the front wheel down against the rear of the cab/front of the bed. I'll run a bungee or strap through the rear wheels.
Originally tried using some rivet nuts, but the location I drilled near the cab had a bracket nearby that prevented install of rivet nut. The ribs on the bottom of the bed are also narrower than the base of the bike tray so it didn't support it well from side-to-side wobble.
I like this! Nice work. I like the clamps (great solution). Could only imagine using some Extruded Alloy T-Track for that over the top engineered look lol

Will this work on ebikes?Thick moving blankets are also a quick solution for a tailgate pad
definite no. Iāve had the 1up from my previous rig. Even in the down position, the tailgate does not clear. I have the tailgate resting on a foam pad.Can anybody weigh in on the SuperDuty 1UP rack being in the down position? Can the tailgate come all the way down? I see the Equip-D can but it's close and need to be cautious so you don't dent the tailgate. Looks like the SuperDuty is 0.6" higher in the down position than the Equip-D, so I'm guessing it's gonna be a no.
Thanks for the pics. Not a huge dealbreaker honestly. I'd probably do the same thing with the foam pad if I decide to get the 1Up.definite no. Iāve had the 1up from my previous rig. Even in the down position, the tailgate does not clear. I have the tailgate resting on a foam pad.
1UP just released a hitch extender with 6 inch drop!! Now I feel comfortable grabbing one to solve the tailgate issue. They said right on their IG it should work great for the Mav.definite no. Iāve had the 1up from my previous rig. Even in the down position, the tailgate does not clear. I have the tailgate resting on a foam pad.
Camper shell?
