Expert Answers about Jeep Jeep Spare Tire Carrier


  • Does the Rampage Jeep Spare Tire Extender Still Allow the Use of the Stock 3rd Brake Light
  • I have a solution for you, but because the stock spare tire carrier and the 3rd brake light on the Jeep JKU are all one piece, the Rampage Spare Tire Extender # RA86610 will not allow you to continue using the 3rd brake light. In order to continue using your existing 3rd brake light you would need to use a different spare tire carrier like the Bestop # B6196101 which accepts the factory 3rd brake light in the tower on the back of the carrier. This carrier will extend the brake light up...

  • Can the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier be Installed Without the Spare Tire on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300, and all of the other spare tire racks for that matter, actually use the spare tire to help stabilize the bike rack so you will need your spare tire installed to utilize any of these bike racks. It would be best to have the spare tire for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler anyways in case you ever do have a flat. We do have other bike rack options that mount on the roof (via a roof rack) or in a trailer hitch. If you'd rather go one of these routes instead...

  • Spare Tire Bike Carrier to Fit on Wide Tires
  • I do have another option for you but the Surco spare tire bike rack, part # BT300, does not fit oversized tires. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks SR2, part # HRSR2, instead. It'll fit up to 12-1/2 wide tires so it's pretty likely to fit your Jeep tires. The catch is it's only a 2-bike carrier. We don't have any 3-bike carriers that fit oversized tires. I've posted a video of the SR2 on a 2016 Wrangler so you can see how it looks.

  • Installation of Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 on 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • Since the capacity of the Pro Series Hitch Cargo Carrier, part # PS1040100, is derived from the design and correct assembly of the cargo carrier, I cannot recommend to modify the assembly or installation in any way. When a part is modified it can reduce the integrity and safety of the cargo carrier, along with the weight capacity. The shank on the cargo carrier measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the raised side of the platform and raises 4 inches for clearance...

  • What Do I Need To Switch A Thule Spare Me Between 2 Jeep Wranglers
  • Yes, this will not be a problem at all. It is easy to remove the rack and you can move the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Dual Arms, part # TH963PRO, from one Jeep to the other. All you would need is an extra Replacement Mounting Plate for Thule Spare Me - Spare Tire Mounted Bike Carrier - Qty 1, part # 753-3532 and the correct adapter.

  • Can I Carry Skis And Snowboards On The Rear Of My 2021 Jeep Wrangler With Spare Tire On The Rear
  • The Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter for Hitch Bike Racks - 6 Pairs of Skis or 4 Boards, part # TH9033, needs a bike rack to be installed on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in order to work. You can carry it on a hitch bike rack or a spare tire bike rack. If you want to carry it on a hitch bike rack, the first thing you will need is a hitch receiver. If you already have a hitch receiver you can skip ahead to the hitch bike rack. My hitch receiver recommendation is the etrailer...

  • Will The Hollywood Racks SR2 Bike Carrier Interfere With My Backup Camera On My 2016 Jeep Wrangler?
  • Spare tire bike racks like the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR1 that you mentioned, will require you to have to remove your backup camera for installation. The only way around this is to use a hitch mounted bike rack like the: -Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Trailer Hitches # B202-2. If you don't have a hitch already, you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856. The Kuat Beta bike rack has a maximum carrying capacity of 40-lbs per bike,...

  • Will the Thule 4 Bike Rack Fit a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • Yes, the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033 will work with the Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. However, the issue you are going to run into when using the Bike Rack on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited is the rear spare tire. In order to be sure the bike rack will clear the rear spare tire you will need to measure from the outside of the bumper beam to the outer edge of the spare tire on your Jeep (see photo). You will then need to subtract the length...

  • How to Get Thule TH963PRO Spare Me Bike Rack to Fit Tight Against Spare Tire of Jeep Wrangler
  • Per the installation instructions for the Thule Spare Me, part # TH963PRO, the rubber spacers should be tight against the spare tire. The contact between the spacer and tire provides necessary support for the rack, so the rack shouldn't be used if the spacers aren't touching the tire. The Spare Me rack comes with mounting brackets and standoffs in two different lengths that should allow you to tailor the fit so the rack is tight up against the tire. This is addressed in part # 4 of the...

  • Best Spare Tire Valve Extension for Jeep Wrangler JK Spare Tire with Cover
  • I have a solution for you, and the Slime Dually Valve Extender Kit # SLM20140 is definitely going to be flexible enough to use on a Jeep Wrangler's covered spare tire since it is a rubber hose. However, since it's only 8-1/2" long, I don't think it's going to be long enough to stick out behind the rear of the tire and allow you access to the extended valve stem very easily-especially if you have larger tires than the stock tires that normally come on the JK. For that reason, I recommend...

  • Can Spare Tire Carrier Be Mounted On Trailer Wall
  • From the photo you sent, it looks like you have aluminum trailer walls, so the first thing you will want to consider is the strength of the walls. Since the Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier, part # DL22120 is designed to be mounted on a trailer tongue or frame, you will want to make sure that the location you choose is strong enough and able to handle the weight. You will want to consider strengthening the wall by reinforcing with a metal plate on the inside of the wall between the brackets...

  • External Spare Tire Carrier for an Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • Mounting a spare tire carrier, like # 413200 to the outside of an enclosed trailer can be done. You will just want to be absolutely sure the carrier and the tire are both secure. I would secure it by adding braces on the inside of the trailer going horizontal to the frame. Then fasten the carrier through the trailer's wall to these braces. The tire attaches to the carrier using wheel bolts and lug nuts.

  • Will Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Work With Motorhome and Bike Rack
  • The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 only has about 8 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the carrier and my understanding of Fiamma racks for motorhomes are that they are designed to sit pretty low when mounted on rails of motorhomes. What you can do is use this spare tire carrier as a receiver for a bike rack, but you would need one that is rated for use on the back of a motorhome such as the Swagman Titan 2-Bike Rack # S63400. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier will...

  • RV Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Holder
  • The etrailer # e96ZR carrier that you referenced does not have a tire carrier specifically made for it. You may be able to modify the cargo carrier and spare tire carrier # Y07076 to hold the spare tire to the carrier. If modifying the cargo carrier is not something you want to do then I recommend a cargo net like # C18202. I am not sure if you would have sufficient clearance to place the tire underneath of it when the platform is down.

  • Estimated Distance From Center of Trailer Hitch Pin Hole to Clear Spare Tire, 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • We have not had the opportunity to get the measurements from the center of the hitch pin hole on Trailer Hitch, # DT78MR, out to the end of the spare tire. However, on a similar hitch, # 13432, and a 2008 Jeep Wrangler, it is 12 inches. It does appear less than that when you look at the image in the instructions for # 75515 which I have linked for reference. If you plan on doing some towing, the recommended ball mount is # AMSC2 and you can use pin and clip # PC3. For a ball, you can use...
