Question:
I have a 2011 2 Dr Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Does the Thule 934 tilt down low enough to fully swing open the tail gate

Even though the Thule Hitching Post Pro bike rack # TH934XTR can tilt a good 45 degrees, the swinging door on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler will most likely make contact with the rack.
Another option would be a platform rack, like # S64665. On this rack the center arms will fold flat against the base. I have included links to video reviews for reference on each of these racks.
Another option is a swing away rack such as the Thule Apex, # TH9027XT. This rack will swing off to the side of the vehicle, with or without bikes loaded, allowing you greater access to the rear of your Jeep.
