Does anyone know if this would be able to fold up on a Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire?

I don't think so, when it folds up, it is pretty close to the vehicle....really don't think it would be secure outside of the spare tire range.

No -- it does not fold up. However, it is relatively compact. I drive a jeep liberty and it's easy to stow.

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!

It doesn't really fold. The legs come off. My daughter's fits in the cargo space of my Jeep Patriot.

I would say probably yes. I remove it every time but can't say that i have actually tried to fold it up without taking it off. It snaps onto the two legs that go out to the wheels and they move when you collapse it. It snaps on and off very easily so if that is your concern i wouldn't worry about it. I can take the whole thing down and have it in my car and less than a minute probably.

No, this does not fold up. You have to tighten the nuts and bolts and so, unless you plan on unscrewing it each time, it won't fit.

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.

It doesn't really fold up. I have a van and we usually throw it in the cargo space for any of those drives before we ride. It would also be able to be strapped to some bike racks as well.

i don't think it will fold down low enough. There is a different style of rack that swings out of the way similar to a rear tire on the back of some SUV

The bike rack goes through the center of the spare tire so if you have a solid cover this won't work. There are other racks that have a strap that wraps around the spare cover. You might want to look at these. The Yakima works great on a Jeep.

Yes, it fold up as long as you put the wheels on right and it weigh about 10 lbs. or so. Ten time better then crutches, but don't work well in grass or rock, hard surfaces only. With the hand brake you can get up step very easy by holding the brake and move up the step with it straddling each step with a set of the wheels on two steps at a time.

No. This particular tire has a wire bead. Next to impossible to get on. Spend a little more money and get a foldable.

This does not fit Jeep Wrangler with the spare tire. Even if you sacrifice the use of the back door, spare tire is too high that you can bolt in both 3/8" x 3 to hold it up. This is great for SUVs with verticle hatchbacks but not for Jeep Wrangler type of back doors and spare tires.

I have but it depends on how big the tire rim is. I have used this grill with the legs folded in and placed on top of a tire rim. The grill is 3 feet long, so if the tire rim is about a half foot smaller than that it should work as long as you're careful and don't upturn it. Additionally, if the tire rim is also shorter than 8", you could use it with the legs folded out - my grill measured just over 8" tall.

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

Yes. Mine works fine with the 31x10.5 R15LT as a spare tire, with a couple inches to spare fully folded. It is made to accommodate the spare. If you have some humongo wide tire as a spare you might have trouble, but with an ordinary unlifted jeep it will work just fine.
