Will this bike rack fit on a Isuzu Trooper 2000, with a covered spare tire? If not, will it work if I remove the spares hard cover?

You need to go to their website and verify before you buy, there may be a link to it on Amazon where the rack is described

Fit perfect on my amigo and I don't think there is much difference. This is the best bike rack I have bought. Fit right over spare tire

I tried it on Suzuki Grand Vitara with a hard cover. On the GV, there is a back piece behind the spare tyre and a front piece that clamps onto the back piece. The back piece forms around the tyre, including curving forward slightly, maybe just an inch and a bit. Unfortunately, this prevented the rack from being mounted on the tyre. I suspect I would have to remove the front and back of the cover to try to make it fit. I did not want to remove the entire cover each time I wanted to put on the rack so I use it on the Jimny instead. I personally prefer the fit on the Jimny's 15" tyres since the rack rests on the rubber tyre rather than the rim. I tried it on Suzuki Grand Vitara with a hard cover.

i have one and it is a bit large (width size) if tire is mounted on 16" wheel it should fit. I suggest getting a cable locking device that the seller has for a minimal price, I lost my first cover due to the hi pressure air dryer on a car wash loosened and this went unnoticed. when later my second cover was saved due to the cable lock.After being on the spare tire and being exposed to the sun and weather it seems to fit better, hope this helps

The spare tire mount (extender) fit my 2012 RZR 800 LE. I do not believe the frame changed during that period. While I cannot guarantee it, I think it would work.

It worked with the spare tire holder on my Trail light, but it may depend on the type of bike carrier you are using. With mine I have enough room with very little rubbing of the bike tire on the spare tire cover.

Hi there. I am not sure if it will fit your vehicle but from my perspective, it looks like it will fit all types. This is a very cool bike rack to be honest. If bike theft is big in your area, I sugguest you purchase this product. You can lock your bikes on the rack unlike other bike racks.

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.

Typically the bar is standard size. With that said, it should fit well I cant guarantee it. I personally use this on thule spare me bike rack and it fit very well.

They custom manufacture the covers so if you tell them the size of the tire, it will fit. Just record what your spare tire says size-wise and you will be fine.

It will fit! It is a attached with two nice tiedowns included. However you might want to order two extra tiedowns for heavy bikes to stabilize the rack adequately.

Mine is the same size. It fits it snug, but still allows enough room to overlap on the rear spare tire and from LP tank if needed.

Unknown. I put mine on a DR650 with side racks. The racks are only $85 though from Precision Motorcycle Racks. Bags are good and cheap too!

It fits in my 2009 Wrangler with the spare tire. The spot on the inside of the rack on the tire side is a little tight, but you can definitely use it and fit a bike on the inside spit, just takes a little maneuvering. We use it on the Jeep with our 5 bikes all the time. The only issue is that you can't open the tailgate more than a few inches, even when the rack is lowered......but otherwise it is fine.

The will! We also have cruisers though our tires are not quite that wide there is plenty of width in the rings for what you have. BTW, we love this bike rack!!! It holds the bikes perfectly so nothing rubs or bangs together. Best wishes.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

I tried to put it on an hummer h2 and it wouldn't fit. They sell racks that bolt to the spare tire

As long as your towing receiver is 2". 4 bike fold down towing fits 2" receiver. I use my Swagman bike carrier on a Ford Ranger. It slides right into the towing receiver. Having a spare tire mounted shouldn't be an issue.

That's a good question. Certainly the wheel will fit in the slotted area by design. I put my front tire in the rack meaning back wheel closest to the cab of truck. Now so your front tire has a fender and you bring the hook bar forward over the back side of the front tire. Obviously it will be atop the fender. What I believe is that you could ratchet it snug, but not to bend the fender. Next, I generally bungee the bike with some nice plastic-ended bungee cords that I tie to various places in the truck bed. So, I rely on the stand to stand the bike upright and then I bungee the bike in 2-3 places to stabilize just in case (and that has come in handy / recommend it). So, as long as you bungee, should be ok. Just don't tighten the rack's arm too much atop the fender. One question back to you, how close between frame of the bike and the fender? Because the foam part of that arm is about 1.5 " in diameter. You need to be able to bring arm up over the fender is why I ask / mention. It slides between bottom of part of bike frame and over top of the fender, you see. Need a little space to bring up and over top of fender. 2 more tips. 1. Don't drop your tailgate with bike standing! If you do, want to guess what will happen? Hint, tip over! 2. I run a cable / and padlock over Thule bike rack cable to truck so someone does not simply drop my tailgate and walk off with all, bike and rack. That would be a bummer! So, there are pluses and minus to this design. I have this little system and have been quite happy, have two of these in my old Ford Ranger bed. Others at work also have same setup in their truck. Hope this helps.
