Have you tried looking for a roof rack?

Default I've been looking too

Kinda screwed here. There is a tray for the factory crossbars, but I can't find one. Could get Thule rack system, but those get expensive.
Bikes are too big to fit in the cargo area unless "stuffed" in, spare tires carriers don't work because of license plate, and even if you had a hitch tray, you would need an extender to get around tire.

I did have a Thule roof system on my H3. Looked better than the factory bars. Putting bikes up there sucked since you had to stand on a tire to so it. Even had to lift up the tandem to get it up. Then you had to take them down...

I'm thinking I'll just put the tire in the cargo area and get a hitch mount.

Ya I am in the same boat with a bike rack as well. I found out about the receiver extension so thats what I will end up doing.

This might work, with a bike hitch mount

Multi-Use Ball Mount

Not the cheapest solution, but has multiple uses. I plan on doing something similar with the Gobi Ranger I have on order:

You know there's a 2" hitch receiver behind the front license plate bracket, right? Well, there is on my 2005 H2. I've mounted a two-bike carrier to the front and it works perfect. First thing I did was to buy and install a special license plate holder that is hinged on the bottom and it just swings down to expose the hitch receiver.

Not mine, but I'll have a similar setup soon. I found this picture on the internet. Kudos go to whoever did it first.

ditto what PaulB said. Put a hitch mount bike rack in the front receiver.
