• What is the Difference Between the Malone Runway and the Malone Hanger for My 2021 Ford Bronco?
  The Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2148 and the Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2147 are virtually the same rack. The only difference is that the Runway is 1.5 pounds heavier than the Hanger and the Hanger comes with anti-sway cradles to keep bikes from contacting each other during transport. Even though the anti-sway cradles are nice to have, I recommend going with the Runway because it is a more economical option. As far as spare-tire fitment,...

• 2019 Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire Bike Rack Compatible with Back Up Camera
  The issue with the newer Jeep backup camera is the location of the camera as well as obstructed views when the rack is installed. There really isn't a great spare tire mounted option to avoid this issue, but either the Malone Hanger Spare T3 OS - Spare Tire Mount - 3 Bike Carrier - Anti-Sway Cages - Safety Reflectors # MPG2147 or the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR1 is the best option for view with bike rack loaded. These bike racks do have width restrictions...

• Will the Malone Hanger 3 Allow Me to Transport Kids Bikes on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
  The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Carrier # MPG2147 will work on the spare tire of your daughter's 2021 Jeep Wrangler since the width of your factory spare tire is 9-1/2 inches wide. As far as bike frame adapters for the Malone Hanger, you will need adapter bars for your grandchildren's bikes. For those parts, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 for each of the children's bikes. The adapter bar will give the bikes a straight, horizontal frame that is required to mount on...

• Recommendation For Using Bike Rack With Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier w/o Reducing Ground Clearance
  If you are going to use a riser I recommend the Gen-Y Stacked Receivers # 325-GH-304 placed in the rise position. This will allow you to place the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 in a higher position on your 2020 Forest River Sunseeker 2250LE. A simpler option might be to use the Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147. This will attach to the spare tire allowing you to carry up to 3 bikes without having to insert a hitch mounted bike rack.

• What Spare-Tire Rack do You Recommend for My 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  For a great spare-tire bike rack for your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I recommend the Malone Hanger # MPG2147. With this rack, it is important to note that it will only fit spare tires that measure between 8 to 10-1/2 inches wide. If you have the standard sizes of 245/75-17 or 255/70-18, this rack will work great if you are looking for a 3-bike option If, by chance, you happen to have the size 285/70-17 or are looking for a 2-bike option, the only other spare-tire rack option that will...

• Will the Malone Hanger Spare T3 OS Fit a 35x12.5 Tire on a Jeep Wrangler
  I do have an option for you but the Malone Hanger Spare T3 OS part # MPG2147 will only work with a spare tire up to 10-1/2" wide and since your spare tire is 12-1/2" wide it will not work for you. The only option we can offer you to carry three bikes via the spare tire is going to be the Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier part # BT300 which I can confirm fits the Jeep Wrangler bolt pattern but you will need to get a longer standoff from Surco to clear the oversized tire. The only other option...

• Carrying Kids Bikes On A 2022 Jeep Wrangler With The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Rack MPG2147
  The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147 is definitely a good option and is very popular among Jeep Wrangler owners. I do need to mention that this will only fit tires that are 8" to 10-1/2" wide, so you will want to double check that before deciding to go this way. With that out of the way, lets talk bikes. The # MPG2147 is rated up to 33 pounds per bike, which should not be an issue in your case, but the size of the frames may be. From outside to outside of the arms that will...

• Will The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  This all comes down to how wide your spare tire is. If your spare tire width on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is between 8 and 10-1/2 inches then you will be able to use the Malone Spare Tire Bike Carrier # MPG2147. Another option you have is getting this hitch receiver # e98856 which is SUPER simple to install. You can then use the Swagman Trailhead 3 # S63365 but you may need to get a hitch extender # C45791. This will cut your hitches capacity in half but since the Trailhead is only...

• Will the Malone Hanger Fit My 35 Inch Tires on My 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  The important dimension to determine whether the Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2147 will fit your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the width of the spare tire. The Hanger is designed to fit spare tires with the width of 8 inches - 10-1/2 inches. In order to make sure the Hanger fits your spare, I recommend measuring the width of your tire before purchase.

• Best Way to Carry Bikes on 1994 Dodge 350 Camper Van
  Hello Erin, I have a solution for you, but unfortunately we do not have a front mounted hitch for the 1994 Dodge Camper Van. Since carrying bikes on the front of a vehicle can impede your head lights and turn signals, as well as potentially add unneeded stress to your vehicle by restricting airflow to your engine, I would recommend another method altogether if possible. If your camper van has a spare tire, I recommend using a spare tire rack like the Malone Hanger Spare T3 OS # MPG2147...

• Will The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147 Impair View on Backup Camera for 2024 Bronco?
  With the Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147 you should still be able to see behind you backing up with the rack empty. Once you add bikes to the rack this will most likely cause you to have issues depending on your exact bikes you carry. You may still be able to see some of the road since the camera does angle down.

• Will Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit 255/70R18 Tire on 2021 Ford Bronco
  The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2147 will fit on the 255/70R18 spare tire at the back of your 2021 Ford Bronco. The Malone rack is designed to fit 8" to 10-1/2" wide tires and your tire is 10" wide so it will just fit. Please not that if any of your bikes doesn't have a horizontal top tube or it's a kids bike then you might need to use an adapter bar like part # MPG2165 to get the bike to fit properly - this is the same case for any hanging-style bike rack.

• Spare Tire Bike Rack That Fits Over Sized Spare Tire
  I do have an option for you but the Malone Hanger Spare T3 part # MPG2147 only fits tires with 8" to 10-1/2" section width. Over sized tires like 33 or 35 inch tires normally have a section width of around 12". I recommend the Hollywood Racks SR2 part # HRSR2 if you have over sized tires. It will fit a tire up to 12.5" wide so you shouldn't have any issues using it on a 35 or 33 inch tire size. I have attached a video of the Hollywood Rack on a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The only catch...
