I then used the supplied hitch lock from Saris to secure to Jeep and I bought a master lock hitch lock for attaching to the drop receiver. I take it on and off in one piece.
Was the drop reveiver necessary to clear the spare tire? Also with the t-rax pro will the arm fold down flat so you can open the rear door on your jeep?
Does it clear the spare tire without an extension?
