To determine which 3 bike rack would fit on your Wrangler, you will need to measure the distance from the hitch pin hole in your receiver rearward until the spare tire is cleared (see photo).

We have three bike racks to choose from. You will need to choose a rack whose hitch pin hole to the closest portion of the rack dimension is longer than the measurement you took between the hitch pin hole of the receiver and the rear of the spare tire.

The Swagman Trailhead, part # S63365 offers a large amount of clearance between the rack and the vehicle (see photo). The Trailhead offers many upgraded features, like an anti-rattle hitch bolt, anti-sway cradles that prevent the bikes from banging into each other or the vehicle and an integrated locking cable to protect your bikes from theft.

The arms of the Trailhead are 11-1/2 inches apart, measured from the outside of one cradle to the other. If the top tube of the childs bike is longer than that, the Titan will accommodate it with no problem.

A locking anti-rattle hitch pin is available, part # S64029.

To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.
