Install, download and get started!

Item received as promised. Installed it on my Jeep Wrangler same day, loaded 3 adult mountain bikes and drove 100 miles with no problems. Decided to buy a "Premier" rack after reading reviews that the standard rail rests on the rim instead of the tire. This rack fits the tire. Would give it 5 stars but it's a little squinting but barely noticeable and it didn't affect performance in any way. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some issues

Great bike rack for rear external spare tire

Bought this rack for my 2009 Jeep Wrangler JKU and it fits perfectly. The top bar runs under the tire mounted brake light, with the center supports resting on the underside of the spare wheel and the lower straps running under the spare wheel and in the tailgate. The bottom straps have hooks and I attached them to the vents on the tailgate. After I attached the tie down straps to the tailgate, it was easy to secure everything with the strap tensioner. Didn't use the trunk for three bikes but…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Attention: NOT suitable for Eurobike mountain bikes!

It's my fault we didn't try to use it until yesterday even though we bought it last year. None of our mountain bikes fit on it (26" and 29" wheels, Eurobike mountain bikes). The distance between the two arms is too big and does not fit the bike frame. A complete waste of money but again my fault I didn't use it until yesterday as my return window had expired. However, the specs on the site and the specs on our bikes show it SHOULD work. The trunk is otherwise well made, but I can't tell if it's

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Empty

Do not buy! That does not work!

Do not buy! I have a 2006 Honda CRV and we tested it on two bikes. The levers on top (hanging from the top of the spare tire) are fairly short. We made a very slow turn out of the garage and the whole rack popped out immediately. We thought we might have attached it wrong so we tried again by tightening everything. I drove straight ahead on the road. He then tested it in an empty parking lot, overcoming several speed bumps in the process. I drove over bumps at 10 km/h and the strut popped out…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great bike rack for those with rear mounted spare wheels.

This bike rack is great, I have a jeep with oversized tires (315/70r17) and it fits my spare tire well, it's firm, strong and when it's attached to the underside of the tailgate it moves not space. Everyone. The only thing I do besides the two straps below is thread the cam strap through the tire holder and around the bikes to keep the handlebars from swaying in the wind. I had 3 bikes loaded and with the weight of the tires and bikes the tailgate still opens easily and I don't see any sheet…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons

3 bikes. Heavier bikes from your local retail store. On the first day of loading I drove 75-80 mph one way for two hours, windy, over flyovers and lots of potholes. I checked to see if the bikes would come loose and no, nada. Assembly day 2 I used the bottom clamps on the underside of the fj cruiser 13 tailgate, may or may not be a bad idea as all the weight is on the tire/door and not the bumper. During this ride 25-35 mph through mud/mud puddles and easy trails. The bikes held up like a…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
