Spare Tire Mounted Bicycle Carrier Rack Fits 2 Bikes – 75 lbs. Capacity Fits Most Spare Tire Hubs

This would be an awesome rack if the Jeep did not have a camera in the way

Exactly what I needed for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I don't know about some of these negative reviews: This seems like a great carrier if installed right. You can flip the base plate over for more mounting options to fit the your lugs; it's designed to work either way. After popping out the Jeep logo cap the medium mounting tube was a perfect fit on my stock wheel and tire. The rest of the installation was simple: Slide the top tube into the bottom tube, install three bolts, and you're done. Unlike what you see in several reviews, know that the top of the unit DOES rotate to the side and out of the way. You just need to remove the two bolts with the included wrench and replace them after rotation. It's easy but takes a couple minutes. The way the screw knob locks the carrier onto the vehicle is pretty ingenious. If you secured your bike to the bottom part of the unit, I think this should be a decent antitheft solution. It would take some real effort for a thief to remove the bike. Once installed, the unit is rock-solid with zero wobble. And you still have access to your rear door and glass and the hitch receiver. I'm very satisfied with this product. Seems like a way more effective option than hitch mounts costing four times or more as much, and definitely better than the products that require an elaborate system of straps around the tire and still aren't secure. At the price it's a no-brainer.

We see this for the first time this weekend, carrying two adult bikes. We had it mounted to the rear tire holder on our camper. When we hit bumps or variances in the pavement the bikes would just bounce up and down (we could see them in our rear camera. When we stopped at a rest area it was clear that the where it connects to the tire mount it was starting to bend and get loose. It made us very nervous so we removed the bikes and put them into our truck bed. It must not be meant for two adult bikes (Trek, hybrid and trail bike)

Very solid. Brackett does not fit over camera mount. Double check when you order

Awesome product for the price! It is a knock-off but it is made of thick steel and good looking welds. It did come together fairly easily, it comes with three extension tube to accommodate for different tire sizes, tools to install and required hardware for installing. You can see in my images that the mounting bracket that goes behind the tire can be rotated to work with your bolt pattern, also, you will see that a split ring washer needs to be added (included) to the square tube that attaches to the bracket (this is important). My pictures will also show that I had to remove the center cap on my spare tire to get the tube to fit through. Once fully mounted with center screw/knob tighten the oval-shaped metal plate slightly pressed on my tire (which we want), this is to help stabilize the rack. Once bike was attached using provided strap, I hit the highway, the mountain bike did not flop around and seamed secured.If anything changes with performance or quality I will update.

I own a Toyota FJ Cruiser (similar to a Jeep) and was looking for a spare tire rack to keep it simple.First off, for a Toyota you need to grind off a small tab so the receiver fits over your spare tire lug nuts. No problem, easy fix.Up till now, I give it five stars. Super secure and solid.My wife and I both have Trek Rosco XC mountain bikes. 18.5 and a 21.5. Both bike’s barely, I mean barely fit on this rack. The blue cushion that your top frame sits on is not adjustable so that distance is what it is.If you buy this rack, save the foam cushions in the box for packing. They help create some space between the bikes. I learned the hard way. Both our bikes got scratches on the forks from rubbing together.I’m selling this one and buying the “tray style” rack which seems to be most popular, at least for hauling mountain bikes.Three stars but a solid three.

Except for an extra cap nut for the short bolt, parts provided are more than ample for any tire mount setup. You will end up with two extra shafts and having to rummage in the garage for the extra nut, but the trade-off in easy installation is worth it. Size of my spare tire and length of the appropriate shaft left an up-down wobble of my mounted bike but the oval spare tire protector helps. We'll see if that poses a problem on long trips, but right now I'm so pleased with it I'd probably just make some adjustments rather than returning it. Appreciated the little tubular cushions, heavy tie-downs (hard to use buckle on the longest one, though). Box arrived with end crushed and open but the product was encased in its own very thick box inside, so it was fine. Compared to bike shop prices, it's a good value to me.

The rack is sturdy and good value. My objection is with the terrible instructions, or non instructions. Installing the rack was no problem; however getting it off was another issue. The locking knob when it wiggles is in the OFF/LOCK position...not mentioned in the instructions. .I assumed since it wiggled it was unlocked and couldn't unscrew it. Ended up taking the rack to a service shop to try to get it off...my concern was that if I had a tire flat I wouldn't be able to get to the tire.After several attempts the mechanic figured out the locking knob when rigid is in the UNLOCK position and then is able to unscrew. This is the opposite of what you might expect..
