Will this carrier work with a Jeep Wrangler spare tire? I need it to fold up. What about and extension?

I use an extension with mine, my cx-9 doesn´t have a spare tire, however, with that extension I can open the door with the bike in the rack, the distance between the rack and the entrance of the hitch is 9", with that information, just check which is the distance extra that you need and find the right extension, just be aware that using an extension lowers the weight limit by a half, I mean, for example, if the rack has 100 lb of weight limit, with an extension the new limit will be 50 lb, I hope that this answer helps

I'd call rack attack..they know good answers....Call 1.888.399.RACK (7225) also look at the 1upUSA....They have less complicated carrier and easier to operate....wish I had gotten theirs really..http://www.1upusa.com/

Yes it should. It's constructed of Velcro and elastic, I have used it on my Chicco infant carrier. Bought it for my girlfriend and her husband, they have a jeep infant carrier.

It would probably work for carrying the load but, won't fold up. I use mine on a rav4

It doesn't fold up very much. It's pretty bulky, but I cannot say with certainty whether it would fit or not. I hope someon else might be able to help more!

As long as you have clearance and it is securely fixed it should work great. I would caution pushing the limits of weight fi you are using it outside the recommended parameters. I bolted mine on the bottom of my factory jeep receiver. I needed to do this to clear the swing arm on my bike rack, when opening the tail gate. It worked perfectly, but I only used it for my bike rack. I would not have even considered hauling a trailer down the road.

I attach the Pro-Rack 2-Bike Hitch Carrier to my 2003 Ford Explorer. I think it extends far enough to not interfere with your spare tire. I do like the fact the vertical mast is made of single construction. I wish the arms would have swiveled to a down position making it easier to store in the garage when the carrier is not in use. That being said, overall I am very, very pleased with the bike carrier.

I have the same problem...a small travel trailer (TT) with a spare tire setup that slides into the receiver on the back of the TT. I bought this to accomplish the same thing you're looking for. Unfortunately, the diameter of the TT spare wheel itself extends too far down and blocks access to the lower receiver. I purchased another adapter to accommodate a fold-down ramp with a 2" tongue (200lb capacity) - and simply use the ramp to carry my small Honda generator and fuel tank. John

This unit bolts to the rear door hinge. It has nothing to do with the tire carrier. I was impressed with the quality and the ease of install. My jeep gets towed behind our motorhome and has travel several thousands of miles with no problems.

It worked with the spare tire holder on my Trail light, but it may depend on the type of bike carrier you are using. With mine I have enough room with very little rubbing of the bike tire on the spare tire cover.

Yes & No!I have a jeep with a 35" spare tire. The rack only fits one bike like this. What I did was to replace the original 2" bar with a longer leingth so I could put two bikes on. You could just but an extension and do the samething but it would add some excess slop in the mount.For the money this was worth it but when no bikes are on it I notice people walk close to the bike tire bracket.Gain I made my new becket pivot so it folds up or down so I can open my back gate.It kinda looks cheap but it does a good job also it's not $400!

The Load Assist will not work with other brands. (At least not well) The top has a piece that hitches into the Malone J racks. It will work with several styles of Malone J racks, not just the ones that fold down.

When folded up, this rack does NOT obscure the rear view. However, depending on the size of the spare tire, it may not fold up as designed.

if like most Jeeps you have a set of larger tires you're going to need to buy the extension for this. As well as to my knowledge you're not going to be able to fully open the door with this in the downward position. In my experience it jostles around quite a bit unfortunately with that extension piece needed to clear my rear tire. However I can't seem to find anything else that works unless I want to spend the money to put the roof rack on it. So although its safe just get used to the fact its going to wiggle around a little bit when you're driving around the mountain and for the money if you need the space is not a bad investment if like most Jeeps you have a set of larger tires you're going to need to buy the extension for this.

Yes, it will carry all of those. I carry a spare tube rolled up, two tire levers, a Park Tool allen wrench set, HTC Amaze smartphone, SKS Digital Tire Checker, house key, and all that fits without the bottom part being extended!

I have a stock TJ and it works fine. With that bike you should be ok since it's pretty light (I have the same one!). You'll just have to push it up a steeper slope since your Jeep is so high. This carrier doesn't have the best tie down options though.

I used this extension for my dinghy tow on my 4000 lb jeep. My recent trip went from Tampa,FL>Estes Park, CO>Moab,UT> Albuquerque, NM>Tampa. Lots of climbs & descents. Work without a hitch.(pun intended.)
