Wrangler Rubicon Hitch Question:

Hey Yall' I have a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon. Just dumped the boyfriend and started getting back into Mtn Biking for myself. I am want a Thule Rack or Yakima that is hitch mounted. The issue is, everytime I go on a website to see if one fits out far enough over the rear mounted tire, they don't show it.

Not interested in a tire mounted rack. I saw a Road Gear one on some guys Jeep. Looked kinda beat. Any Rec's? Thanks a ton!

This web site has a fit guide. Just choose a brand then pick your vehicle and it will tell you what fits. I'm going to have to find a new one as well as I don't like any of the new tire mount racks. If I could find another Saris just like the one I've got now I'd buy it.

Oh, and welcome to Jeepz! Are you in Charleston, SC?

Thanks Ya'll. Yes I have lived in Charleston for 14 years. Do a lot of Mtn. Biking in Francis Marion Forest and then up in the Mountains of NC in the fall and winter.

Summer here is all about being on the water though.

Thanks again! I just don't like Rear Tire mouted racks. Just preference.
