Will GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier Clear Spare of 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited  

Question:

Will the 8 inch rise clear the spare tire, does it go past tire before the rise. I only have 4inch from top of hitch to bottom of tire and need at least 10inch from center of hitch pinhole before the rise. Sorry for all the questions over the last few days..

The GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604 will fit a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and clear the spare. This carrier has 14 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier which should be an inch or two more than needed to clear a Wrangler spare. The platform of the rack has a rise of 6 inches though so you'd need your spare to sit up higher than that from the top of the hitch opening.

Most Wranglers need either 12 or 13 inches of clearance so 14 would be fine unless you have a really wide aftermarket spare tire installed.

I have a solution for your, but the GearDeck would not work since your spare sits only 4 inches above the trailer hitch. Instead the Rola cargo carrier part # 59109 would be best option. This measures 13 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the edge of the box. And it's brackets that hold the box platform are on the outside so they would fit around the spare tire. If you ever needed the spare, the swing away feature adds easier access as well.
