How much room is there between the tire carrier and the back of the jeep? Is there to space to mount a jack on the back side of the carrier?

Not likely. Only an inch between the carrier and the tailgate. That said, there is room at the top of the carrier post if you have a bowless softtop. Not sure how that would work.

I would guess no. There's not a whole lot of room there. The tire carrier is about flush with the rubber stops on the tailgate.

I dont think, so its pretty tight. Probably a couple inches. I mounted my Hi Lift jack on the hood. It fits perfect, very easy to install and looks BA!

Not a lot of room. You would probably be better off adjusting the center tire mount outward and mounting the jack under the tire. That would help avoid the theft of jack but you would need to remove tire to get to the jack.

Don't know about Jeep since mine was for a Dodge Ram 1500, but if it was the thicker unit with multi disc then it might fit. Opening is pretty slim, can't fit much there, maybe a very slim phone with no cover on it or a few cds. Mine's empty since I just use a 32GB usb drive for all my music, the kind that is just a stub so it isn't even noticeable.

Dunno. My son has it in the back of his car, which is a hatchback, so there's plenty of room. There is not much room behind your seat.

Yes you can get to the jack while in the holster I have never used it but looks like plenty of room

Jeff; I am away from my home, so not able to measure. However, I'll pass along my experience in case it could help others. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I mount the cargo carrier on. It has a swing out spare tire rack. When it swings out it was hitting the tailgate side of the carrier. I ended up modifying that side by lowering it 1 3/4 inches in my case. It wasn't hard to do. Required drilling some new bolt holes, sliding down to the desirable height, rebolting about six vertical supports and cutting the excess off, and grinding them smoothe.. So, the outcome is the carrier sides are slated toward the tailgate and there was enough clearance now for the spare rack to swing out.

I can't say for sure because I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and do not have an exterior tire, but here are some measurements. The vertical pole of the rack (on my Jeep) is 8 1/2 inches from the end of the hitch, 7 3/4 inches from the bumper and 10 1/2 inches from the hatch door. I hope this helps.

No...It's 2" for the JK. It will raise your jeep high enough to put 33" tires on. I went with this kit because you don't have to change your shocks or anything else. I'm quite pleased with it.

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.

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.

It's a good sized toy. From front bumper to back tire is 13", bottom of the tire to the top of the jeep is 7" and the width from tire to tire is 8". Hope that helps!

Yes, I have it installed on my stock, just be aware that the base for it is fairly narrow so it may not fit a jack from another manufacturer. I have a smittybuilt jack and it does not fit this carrier, just havent gotten around to getting a rugged ridge one yet.

No, it does not fit on the tire carrier. It mounts on the hinge brackets of the door. I've taken mine Jeepin' several times without any issues and I like how it can be locked as a deterent to sticky fingers.

Raymond, I have a jeep with a tail light assembly that sticks up behind my spare tire (on the inside next to the rear window). The bike rack would not fit over my spare tire because this assembly got in the way.

Hi Cindy,CRV does not have tire on the back; therefore, I will not be able to answer with certainty but having said that, you might fit this even with tire on the back. There is about 10 clearance from the hitch joint and vertical bar. Even if it doesn't fit, you can add extender to your hitch, which might give you extra clearance. Hope this helps.

You should not have a problem fitting it in the back of you Jeep. It's about a 4' x 4' x 3' box. Bring a strong friend - it's heavy (about 155 lbs). I ordered from Amazon & had it shipped to my house free.

I'm running BFG All Terrain 33 x 10.5 x 15s' on my 97 Jeep TJ. I don't see any reason why you can't run 33 x 10.5/ or 11.5 or 12.5. Lots of clearance. I love em because they give me a lot more clearance when flexing over rocks or rough terrain. I am running a 1.5" body lift plus a 3" suspension lift but that shouldn't make any difference either.

I'm not sure how much you are going to lift your jeep but I installed my tires on 8" centered wheels because I wanted the extra stability and a better ride. You can use your stock wheels but why lift if you are not going to compensate with width? This move is dangerous because center of gravity is also lifted making it easier to roll. It has nothing to do with the tires because the tires are great, excellent as a matter of fact. I would highly recommend them.
