Any mountain bikers?
Thanks. I sold my rack when I went to 37" tires. I've looked at the hitch carriers but I'd something I could leave on and still open the rear gate.
A lot of the manufacturers don't make them anymore. Thule still makes one, but I would not use it. I had a Yakima years ago that had a plate mount behind the spare with a post that extended through the rim. Was nice till I got rear ended. When the Audi hit me from behind, it was with enough force that it ripped the rack off the mount and went through the driver's windshield! Almost killed hit! That's when I bit the bullet and started putting my bikes on a roof mount.
Yakima Sparetime works with oversize tires, Thule Spare Me can only go as big as a 32" tire without modding (drilling new holes). You place more stress on the jeep tailgate and hinge with spare tire carriers though. If you already have a aftermarket tire carrier all should be good since the weight is off the jeep tub and is on the frame. Depending on your bike frame, this type of bike mount may not work.
