Question:

We are looking at the Hollywood Destination 2 E-Bike rack. We will use it on our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4-door with spare tire mounted on the rear hatch door. Will the rack clear the tire? or is an extension required?

Expert Reply:

You should not need an extension for the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR to fit on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. We installed this on a 2021 2-door Wrangler which I have included the install video linked near the bottom of the page where you can see it clears the spare tire even when folded up. You can always measure from the center of your hitch pin to the back of the tire as well to be sure if you have an oversized spare. You need 7" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the tire for the rack to clear when folded up.

If you need more clearance I recommend looking at the Swing-Away # Y02483 over an Extension # e88YR as it will also allow you better access to the rear cargo area on your Wrangler.
