Question:
I have a 2013 Wrangler JK unlimited. Do you have a trailer hitch cargo basket that even when installed leaves enough clearance the rear door to open? We go camping a lot and I dont want to have to take it off every time I need to open the door.

Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you but the only way you'll be able to open the rear door on a Jeep with cargo basket installed is if you install it on a swing away adapter like the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender part # SAR36VR. This can then be used with any 2" hitch mounted cargo carrier like the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches part # e98874. This option allows you to get in and out of the rear cargo arear without having to remove the carrier.
Please note, the adapter will reduce weight capacity to 250 lbs.
