Works on both 270 and 180 hinge styles
The Mule Back XL System is an exceedingly versatile and innovative way to configure the critical gear you want to travel with. Mount almost anything to the Mule Back: Bikes, skis, cargo boxes, fuel cans; the list only ends when you are through. Additionally, with our FTSN (fixed thread single nut) design, items can be quickly switched based on the trip you will be taking! The MBXL Series is a lightweight all-aluminum design without compromising strength. Its design gives you a multitude of mounting options for you to find your perfect v-gear configuration.
We have applied engineering design to the geometry and strength calculations and, with an innovative design (patent pending), created a system that does not piggyback off of the van's hinges. Therefore, there is no need to force the use of only 180-degree hinges to mount your rear systems to your van any longer.
