would this clear the spare tire on the back of a TJ Wrangler? The spare tire sticks out almost 6" past the receiver.

I've only used it in the horizontal position and I'm assuming you will be using it in the vertical position. I measured the L leg it is right at 10" on the inside so it will be very close, so close I think you would have to try it to know for sure.

Jeff; I am away from my home, so not able to measure. However, I'll pass along my experience in case it could help others. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I mount the cargo carrier on. It has a swing out spare tire rack. When it swings out it was hitting the tailgate side of the carrier. I ended up modifying that side by lowering it 1 3/4 inches in my case. It wasn't hard to do. Required drilling some new bolt holes, sliding down to the desirable height, rebolting about six vertical supports and cutting the excess off, and grinding them smoothe.. So, the outcome is the carrier sides are slated toward the tailgate and there was enough clearance now for the spare rack to swing out.

You have to measure the size of your spare tire. This cover will work on any spare that measures approx 31" in diameter and about 10" across the top. I seriously wish that had used those dimensions in the description. This has got to be the 10th time I have answered this question,.

It does not allow the Jeep wrangler rear door to swing all the way open due to the spare that is mounted rear center on the jeep. Is there a way or product that will raise the spare with out interfering with the center light above the spare ? Is it legal to run without that center light above the tire ?

It might clear if you spare tire isn't too wide. Max clearance from my tailgate to the vertical support is 7 1/2 inches. I hope it works for you. Bill

You would have to drill mounting holes. You dash is a bit to small but you could make it work. It is however designed for the Wrangler TJ. Thank you!

I have a jeep wrangler it works OK for me but I don't have a big spare tire.I mounted some aluminum plates for the bike tires to set on so they didn't slide off of the square tubing. Good luck.

No it won't. Your TJ only has a 1.5 din opening. You'll need to modify the vents about the radio. If you look at some of the forums there are some good write-ups.

Sorry Im not sure if it will fit with your spare tire or not. From the point where the rack goes into your hitch you have approx 16 inches between the back of your vehicle and where the first bike attaches so It probably would work since I doubt your spare is more than 16" wide. But you might want to contact Hollywood direct. Here's their number 1-800-747-4085. Heres a link to there website. Scroll down and you'll see a picture of the rack and measurements. http://hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/hitch-racks/sportrider-hitch-rack-4.htm

Unless your spare hangs below your hitch you should be ok. This is on my F150 with plenty of clearance. Highly recommend it.

Hey Joyce, the area in the truck is for the spare...you will have to take that styrofoam thing out though. And the tire fits in that spot...also you can secure it as well. I don't use it unless I travel a significant distance outside of town. It does have some weight to factor in when you are driving around town.

please check with rugged ridge on the compatibility as its fixed on 4 screws , not sure if the spacing is the same as the Wrangler TJ of mine.

It should, the bracket mounts flush with the surface using screws. The bolt that attaches the tire is just a carriage bolt and could be switched out for a longer one if needed. Mine holds a 15 inch spare trailer tire about waste high.

Raymond, I have a jeep with a tail light assembly that sticks up behind my spare tire (on the inside next to the rear window). The bike rack would not fit over my spare tire because this assembly got in the way.

If it is a normal trailer bumper then it will not interfere. I use the spare tire as an extra point to tie the bikes off to keep them on the rack.

I drive a jeep wrangler and it extends out a good 6 inches past my tire on the back. I just have all terrains.

Good question! I doubt it. My bet it will drag. But u could get a hitch with a rise on it say 3 inches that may help though it could inter fear with spare tire at that point.
