FIT/INSTALLATION TIPS:
This is the best choice for any spare tire mounted bike rack. It will
carry 2 bikes easily, and the bike arms will fold down when not in use.
The slickest feature of this rack is that it will accommodate a spare
tire that is not mounted on the center of the vehicle. This will ensure
that your bikes don’t stick out further off the side of your car than
your sideview mirrors, preventing you from accidentally hitting them
when squeezing through tight spaces.
This rack locks to the car, but you will need to use the 538 cable lock to lock the bikes to the rack.
Check to make sure this rack works on your vehicle. You will need to remove your spare tire to mount this rack.
Advantage of using this rack
over a strap style spare tire rack, is that this rack does not entirely
depend on tire inflation of the spare tire to work, as opposed to a
cable/strap style rack. (So, if you get a flat tire on your jeep, your
bike carrier will still work.) |
