Nice, sun soaked shot of a Jeep Wrangler Sahara spare tire bike rack using the Yakima SpareTime 2 rear spare tire mounted bike rack. The spare tire on the Jeep Wrangler interferes with hitch mounted bike racks, so here is a great solution for carrying two bikes safely and securely.

Includes all the same premium features and components found on the previous Thule 963XT Spare Me bike rack model but now includes a cable bike lock for locking the bikes to the carrier. It also includes a slightly redesigned mounting plate that now fits an even broader range of spare wheels (including Toyota FJ Cruiser spare wheel, Honda CRV spare wheel and more). A lock and keys are also included to lock the mounting plate in place, thereby securing the entire bike rack to the vehicle.

It’s also finished with a slick metallic silver powder coating for a nice, clean modern look. The best-in-class Thule T3 Cradles and 955 No Sway Cages ensure the bikes are nestled snugly at all times and they won’t swing around and bang into each other or the back of the vehicle while travelling down the road. The Thule 963XTR Spare Me bike rack can carry two bikes of virtually any style, shape or size.
