Better late than never...
Here is my Thule 964 revolver. It's a really nice rack if you're comfortable spending $400+ for one. Purchased it back in May when REI.com had a sale on it. Paid something like $350 for it which was the lowest on any site out there. I think it's up there for $450 now. Guess I got lucky. Anyway.
It is nice because it swings away so you can get to the tailgate. Even while bikes are still mounted.
It holds up to 4 bikes. Haven't tried that though. Have had two at once so far.
It comes with a lock for the Hitch mount, and has a built in cable lock for the bikes.
There are only 3 downfalls I can think of. First, It is REALLY heavy. It's a bitch carrying that thing around.
Also, as you can see from one of the pictures, it BARELY clears the spare Rubicon tire. So if you have bigger tires, your out of luck.
Finally, the price. At $400+, it is really expensive IMO. But I guess you get what you pay for.
I would strongly recommend it to anyone.
Hope this helps.

That's pretty slick how it folds out of the way of the rear door.
I've been thinking about building one as a project for myself
and this fold out option never even occured to me.
Although, the front bumper I have on my ride also has a reciever, so I have that mounting option as well.

I just bought the Thule "Spare Me" rack (spre tire mount) at a garage sale ($20) and so far, it's awesome. People on the site have said that similar ski racks are "risky", but I don't see why. This thing seems rock solid.
