Rear-loading at waist height, it hauls up to 8 skis or 4 snowboards without ever making you climb on your bumper - even in the parking lot at the end of a long day on the mountain. At just 25 lbs, it installs in roughly 1-2 minutes using a standard 2\" hitch receiver and collapses flat for easy off-season storage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Built from powder-coated aluminum with a reinforced frame, rubber edge guards, and a neoprene top ring, the Chuck Bucket protects your gear and your vehicle at every highway speed. The 2-stage tilt system lets you access your trunk even when the carrier is fully loaded, and the anti-wobble mount keeps everything rock-solid on the road. It's also fully modular with the Chuck Rack system - swap attachments in seconds using the same BASE Post.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 Ski \/ 4 Snowboard Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hauls the whole family's quiver in a single load - no second trips, no roof wrestling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear-Access Loading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Load from waist height in ski boots at the trailhead or parking lot - no roof required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 lb Weight Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles full quivers of skis, snowboards, poles, and helmets without breaking a sweat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Stage Tilt System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tilts up to 90° so you can access your trunk even when the carrier is fully loaded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder-Coated Aluminum Frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight, rust-resistant, and winter-ready - reinforced corner posts double as gear docks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Wobble Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included tool ensures a rock-solid connection at highway speeds - no rattling, no shifting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubber + Neoprene Guards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-installed rubber edge guards and a neoprene top ring protect both your gear and your vehicle's finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular with Chuck Rack System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the same BASE Post as the Chuck Rack bike carrier - swap attachments in seconds for year-round versatility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e~25 lbs \/ ~1-2 Minute Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight enough to handle solo and quick enough to mount before you hit the road.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds Flat for Storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collapses down when the season ends so it disappears neatly into the garage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSki Carrier (Standard):\u003c\/strong\u003e The original Chuck Bucket, priced at $749.

No more contorting yourself over a roof rack in ski boots or reorganizing the entire back of your SUV just to fit everyone's boards. It's trusted by families and ski crews who need a reliable, fast, and repeatable system that works every single weekend of the season. The powder-coated aluminum build is engineered to handle cold temps, road salt, snow, and slush without rusting or rattling apart. Whether you're heading to a local hill or a week-long ski trip, the Chuck Bucket loads up in under two minutes and keeps everything secure the whole drive there and back. When the snow melts, it folds flat and stores out of the way - ready to do it all again next season.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSki Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 skis \/ 4 snowboards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpening Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\" W x 12\" L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder-coated aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~25 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Load\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTilt\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-stage, up to 90°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHitch Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 2\" receiver (1.25\" adapter sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstall Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1-2 minutes with included tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolds flat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimal - mounts to hitch in ~1-2 minutes with included hardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShips standard (no freight or pallet required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat size hitch receiver do I need for the Chuck Bucket?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Chuck Bucket is designed to fit a standard 2\" hitch receiver.
