I used to use a moving blanket and a ratchet strap, similar to the tailgate pads. I actually had my bike like that when someone pulled out in front of me and totaled my old truck. Bike didn't budge.
Currently running a 1UP hitch rack since I already had it as a roof rack on a previous car...
Bought a Renegade emergency key blade for $8, had it cut at a local locksmith for $7.50 (chain stores quoted $40-80). Drilled a hole in it for a keyring incase I choose to move it from the fob. I had to grind it down a bit to get it to fit in the fob compartment. Since it's so short, there is...
Oh and yes the gas tank stays in place with the factory shield. You remove and reinstall a few of the gas tank bolts, but don't have to support it.
RH adds two solid steel cross members, which accounts for the bulk of the added weight.
RH also has special washers that protect the bolt heads...
I hope I don't come off as too complain-y, just a few frustrations during install. Working with RH to fix something and it should be good to go.

Installed Rockhard 4x4 aluminum (180lbs) complete belly pan skid plates with dual crossmembers today, what a pain...
Other than that, it is installed and quite nice. If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with Artec and hope that installation is easier, but now that they're on I plan on...
Still waiting on a rear bumper, but then I'll probably start hitting the local wheeling parks. Not sure when/where the next big outing will be. I've been to Ouray/Moab each year for the last three years. Thinking about Sedona or something different.
Installed Rockhard 4x4 aluminum (180lbs) complete belly pan skid plates with dual crossmembers today, what a pain... It's mostly done, just working with RH to address a couple of things from the JLU to JT.
Switched out one of the factory fobs for the AJT Designs key fob. I like that it (almost) matches, but mostly now the switch blade key will stop opening in my pocket.
