Hi, Just bought a used Paulchen Bike Rack today... What a practical rack that is...and according to the pictures shown on their pamphlet, it seems to fit the Toyota vans and the Jeep cheeroke (older model). The most wonderful surprise was to see it coming with the 4 rollers option. These rollers sit on the top of the rack and enable you to put your boat or surfboard on the roof without damaging the paint of the van (in case you drop the boat). The best about this is that you can put your boat on the roof on your own...no help needed, provided you could bring your boat near the van...I wander why they stopped producing it...It is much more that a bike rack.I paid 300,00$ CDN dollars. The PO had paid 650,00...so it's a good deal. My only concern is that it does not come with a built-in locker. I'll have to buy a padlock and then insert it the space provided, so the rack is locked to the van.I am concerned because the padlocks found on the market seem to be easy to break...Do you know of any good padlock that can resist hammer... Merci Alain Westfalia 1991
