There are a few things we will need to verify before recommending the use of the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier, # UF48-979033 , on your Jeep Wrangler.

The first and most important note is that you must determine the tongue weight capacity of both your vehicle and your hitch and base your decisions off of the lower of the two or the 500 lb capacity of the carrier whichever is less of the three components.

If your trailer hitch and vehicle can support this carrier, then the next measurement you will need is the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of your spare tire.

This carrier measures 19 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the track and 15-1/2 inches to the closest edge of the carrier. If the distance from the hitch pin hole to the furthest back part of the spare tire is less than 15-1/2 inches and your tongue weight is sufficient, then this carrier wouldn work for you.

I would recommend test fitting your motorcycle by measuring 19 inches from the hitch pin hole on your trailer hitch and putting your bike centered on that mark behind your Jeep to see if the spare tire will interfere.
