Yakima Spare Tire Bike Racks Review - 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Video

I have a spare tire mounted bike rack recommendation that will work on the 35 inch tall spare of your vehicle, but the Thule Spare Me part #TH963PRO won't work on tires taller than 32 inches. You should check out the Yakima SpareTime 2 Bike Rack…

The outside to outside distance of the cradle arms of the Thule Passage Trunk Rack part #TH910XT is 15 inches.
