#1 of 2 Bike Racks - spare tire or tow hitch by drawlya Aug 01, 2008 (10:40 am)
I'm looking for a bike rack that can be attached via the tow hitch or on the (covered) spare tire, since I can't lift the bikes to the roof of the FJ. The tow hitch option needs to account for the spare tire. Any thoughts or links? Replies to this message: camron (Aug 03, 2008 8:23 am)

Replying to: drawlya (Aug 01, 2008 10:40 am) After much research, I purchased an excellent tire mounted bike rack called Sport Rack. I strongly considered the hitch mount, but you must take the bikes off and lower the hitch to swing open the rear door. The tire mount option allows you leave the bikes on the rack to access to the rear. The rack is solid, holds up to three bikes and comes with locks. After you install the mounting hardware you can take the rack off and back on with ease. So far, no complaints. Here's a link I used to order: http://www.prolineracks.com/sportrack-a30813stl-spare-tire-bike-rack.html You Tube demo/instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TPlovXkPyw
