Bike Rack for 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with AEV Bumper and Large Spare Tire
Question:
I am searching for a bike rack to fit my 2012 Jeep Wrangler w/ a 35” spare tire, 2.5” left kit, and an AEV bumper for oversized spare tires. Attached is are some photos of my Jeep. Also, here is the link to the bumper.. * 12” from edge of bumper to edge of spare tire * 13.5” from hitch center pin to edge of spare tire * 8.5” from hitch shaft to bottom of the spare tire. I have been looking, but it seems that even the nice Thule swinging rack will not accommodate. I would prefer a swinging rack, but am open to options. Thank you, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The photo you attached did not come through however, I think the best option we have for you is the Hollywood Racks Road Runner 4 Bike Carrier part # HR420 because the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast is 15" which is more than any other hanging bike rack we offer. If you have any bikes with an alternative frame then you will also need to use the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # HRBA-PRO.
Unfortunately, none of the swing away bike racks we offer will have enough clearance for your Jeep. I have attached a photo for you as well.
