The only thing that I could find that will hold 4, is hitch mountable, uses the skid type configuration and is under about $300 is one by Performance [/URL]

I am a little concerned though as it looks kind of light. Any other thoughts?
I Appreciate the help.

There is a guy here somewhere on these forums that uses the 2 bike version of the Performance rack and really likes it.
Check out mtbr for their reviews of racks. Nothing really wrong with tope tube type racks, just different. I like the featrues of the skid type as you put it, but I see lots of the top tube rack in use so they can't be all bad
