Wrangler Bike Rack??
I am getting ready to purchase a receiver hitch bike rack for my 02 Wrangler
online. I am worried about the spare tire bring too far out and blocking the length. I have a 2" receiver. Are there special racks for jeeps, has anyone had this problem? Thanks -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
Re: Wrangler Bike Rack??
I bought a Reese spare tire receiver hitch bike rack from KMart and it fits
just fine. It even has a ball mount so you can tow a trailer at the same time you have the bike mounted. It does block the tail gate from opening, but I hope you figured that out already. You shouldn't need a special one.

Re: Wrangler Bike Rack??
I have one that just straps onto the spare tire. Basic one with two

The clearance in ok for a 30-9.50x15 tire on the standard mount; but not quite enough for a 31-10.50x15 tire on a Teraflex oversize tire mount. It's easy to drill another couple of holes for the clevis pin to make up the difference. |

Re: Wrangler Bike Rack??
I've got the Allen 4 bike carrier, it fits in the 2" Reese receiver
and works great! The frame itself is made specially angled to go past the spare tire. Here is the link to Quadratec, notice there are a few different styles but the one you'll be looking for is the one with it angles off the bottom and not a straight 90 degree bend. Like most of the standard racks are. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92034_11_07.htm This is the one I have with a 33" spare no problems... Hope this helps.

Re: Wrangler Bike Rack??
BTW:
They do make these in 2, 3 & 4 bike setups as well, Also they do fold back out of the way (not all the way) so you can get into the back of your Jeep.... I'm running it on a 2000 Wrangler and it works for me.
