Will the Malone Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Question:

Will this rack fit on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited with the factory spare tire? If not what do you recommend? I would like to open by rear door and 3 or more bikes on the back

The Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack, # MPG2148, will work well on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

The Malone rack will adjust to a variety of different width tires. The rack is light weighing just 13 lbs and can carry 3 bikes with each bike weighing up to 33 lbs each.

You might want to consult your owner's manual or consult the dealer to make sure that the rear door of your Wrangler will be able to handle the bike rack and bike weight when opened.

If you will be carrying a woman's, child's or an alternative frame bike that does not have the top cross tube, then I recommend the Kuat Ubar Bike Adapter, # UB01. This adapter bar will allow you to hang these types of bikes on the Malone rack.

I also recommend using the # e98891 cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack to deter theft.
