Not as easy as I thought
I purchased the universal mighty mount package thinking that it might be an affordable way to use my old yakima racks.(1994) The tool provided did not fit the nuts that are required for installation. The directions are a little vage on how to mount the ski racks once the mounts are attached to the vehicle. (It doesn't state any instructions)I went to the web site for help, but no luck. I had to use my own parts to attach the ski rack to the mounts because my rack has these large wing type nuts that aren't compatible with the mighty mounts (no clearance)
I haven't test drove the rack yet, but it seems secure.

Not Compatible with Fork Mount Bike Carriers
After ordering this product and installing it, I discovered (on another website that wasn't Yakima or Amazon) that these Mighty Mounts are not compatible with fork mount bicycle carriers. They are so flimsy I would be hesitant to use them with any bicycle carriers.
I became suspicious after I installed them and found that the bike was literally swinging in the light breeze.
Inside the clamp is a nut that tightens down to merely plastic. One good sidewind gust and that nut is sure to pull right through.
Yakima quality
These configure nicely to my '05 Sienna minivan and would have worked equally well on my just-sold '97 Explorer. Both vehicles have factory roof racks, making Yakima towers unnecessary. This keeps the cost down considerably, since you don't need to shell out for the crossbars, either.
Yakima sells a bunch of other adapters - probably more readily available at your local sporting goods store - but these run only a few bucks less than the universal ones, which allow you to slap many more Yakima racks up there. Handy for cross-training surfers, kayakers, travelers, etc. Maybe someday for me.
Installation or removal requires slightly less patience than assembling an entertainment unit from Target, so plan on taking your time. (Using the specific Yakima adapters makes the job quite a bit easier.) It helps having another person's assistance. Definitely put a thick blanket on your car's roof to avoid marring the surface from the inevitable slip-up...
