Are Spare Tire Bike Racks for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Made That Allow Back-Up Camera to Work

While you can certainly carry bikes with your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, there are no spare tire bike racks that will work with a back-up camera, so the best thing to do is use Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # DT78MR and a hitch-mounted bike rack. When bikes are loaded they will block the view of the rear-view camera, of course, but you can remove the bike rack or there are racks available you can leave on and simply fold the upright mast down.

For that I strongly recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B which does have an upright mast you can fold down, and because at just 22.5 lbs it is extremely lightweight, making it simple to use, but also has a 60 lb per bike capacity for transporting heavy bikes.

The Freedom will be extremely stable due to its included anti-rattle hitch lock and the ratcheting padded cradles that grip your bikes by the frame. These cradles - along with the wheel straps that are on both wheel trays - combine to keep your bikes steady on the rack so your bikes remain in perfect condition.

This bike rack also has a lever that you only need to push to fold the rack up or tilt it down, which is a quality-of-life feature that makes it really easy to use. The Freedom even offers security for the rack and hitch via the aforementioned anti-rattle hitch lock to secure the rack to your hitch to protect your investments.

I have added links to video reviews of this rack for you to check out.
