Question:
Will the Thule T2 Pro XT fit on my stock Jeep Wrangler? Clear my spare tire if i slide the trays out? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV will need an extension to clear your rear spare. From the center of the hitch pin hole this rack is 7 inches to the closest part of the rack when in position to carry bikes and when folded is 5 inches to closest part.
This is an excellent bike rack, so I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. This will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50% but that won't be an issue with carrying 2 bikes.

I have a jeep wrangler JL 2018 and looking for a sturdy platform two bike bike rack with lock to bikes and hitch. I have a variety of bikes (step through, womens, mtb and road). Thank you.
