Stow bikes on spare tires and save hitch and rack space for other items. View largerStow Bikes on Spare Tires and Save Hitch and Rack Space Drivers of Jeeps and many SUVs featuring rear mounted exterior stowage of spare tires, can sometimes experience recreational and conventional hauling conflicts due to the positioning of their spare tire which excludes the exterior rear of the vehicle as a bicycle stowage space. Without the ability to be placed atop the rear exterior of the vehicle, bikes may need to go on a roof rack or even monopolize the trailer hitch, both of which could be used for other items. The Thule 963PRO Spare Me 2 Carrier does away with this potential issue by utilizing the mounted spare tire itself to secure the carrier to the vehicle.* Stay-Put cradles and no-sway cages along bike arms support bikes. View larger  Base plate slips between vehicle and tire, and then is connected to by a locking knob. View larger  Integrated locking cable and locking knob secures bikes to carrier and carrier to vehicle. View larger The carrier has a 2-bike capacity, and features Stay-put cradles along the top of its two bike arms, and anti-sway cages that hang down from arms as well. The top horizontal tubes of bikes rest on the cradles, while the no-sway cages contact the vertical seat tubes of bike frames. At each of these points rubberized ripple straps wrap around the bike frame, resulting is a superior hold that isolates each bike in place. To attach the Thule 963PRO Spare Me 2 Carrier, remove any tire cover in use and the lug nuts of the spare. Then lift off the tire. The mounting plate of the Spare Me 2 goes directly onto the bolts designed to hold the spare tire, with the plate's square female threaded shaft pointing out. The tire goes back on over this and should be tightened back down using the lug nuts, with the shaft of the mounting plate extending through the tire's rim. Through this configuration the spare tire now serves as the base for securing the carrier to the vehicle. (In anticipation of larger than normal tires, the Spare Me 2 ships with both various sizes of extended mounting brackets and extenders.) The carrier can now be connected to the shaft of the mounting plate using a combination of a square mounting bracket which slides over the plate shaft at one end, and is screwed to the rear of the carrier at the other. This creates a reinforced conduit through which the locking knob is tightened. Rubber spacers at the back of the carrier are pressed into the spare tire as the locking knob is tightened, which creates even carrier stability without damaging the tire. During mounting, the body of the carrier can be centered over the spare, or to its right or left. This allows for even distribution of bicycle weight along the vehicle, regardless of the alignment of the spare on the vehicle. Bike arms fold flat when not in use, which makes for easy parking, and removes the need to ever remove the carrier. Secure Dual Locking Functionality The 963PRO Spare Me 2 features dual locking functionality that allows bikes to be secured to the carrier, and the carrier to be secured to the vehicle. The carrier ships with two locking cylinders. The first cylinder is inserted into the head of the unit's locking knob. Once the knob has been tightened down to secure the carrier to the spare tire, it and the entire carrier can be locked in place and only removed with a key. An added benefit to this is that the carrier can now be left on, over the spare tire, indefinitely. This provides a layer of security against tire theft. The second locking cylinder is inserted into the head of the integrated cable lock, found in the right upright tube section of the carrier. To lock bikes to the carrier pull the head of the cable lock up, and connect it with its opposite end, which extends from the extreme tip of the right bike arm.

No warranty is given for defects caused by normal wear and tear, cosmetic rust, scratches, accidents, unlawful vehicle operation, or modification of, or any types of repair of a load carrier system other than those authorized by Thule. About Thule Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life. * Your vehicle must be equipped with a spare tire to secure the carrier.             See more

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thule does it again!! A+
*by S***O on May 7, 2013*

Thule always tries to think of everything and they provided all the options I needed for this to be a simple and effecient installation.I have a jeep cherokee, it has a 31" spare tire on an after market tire swing that is offset to my passenger side. Using a hitch bike rack would prevent me from accessing the rear of my jeep so I researched this carrier.Thule knows that people have different tire sizes so they have options for us. Short, Med, Long. They provide 2 different sized brackets with additional thread extenders if needed for the main support bolt.They also took into consideration vehicles, like mine, that have offset tires. I was able center this carrier on my vehicle by simply installing the unit with an option explained in the instructions. Otherwise one of my bike tires would be over extending passed the width of my truck.THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE AWESOME. Take the time to read them especially if you have an oversized tire. There is a whole bunch of stuff in the box when you open it, so read the instructions and it will tell you what each parts purpose is.There are 2 locks INCLUDED in this kit, it not only locks the carrier to your tire but at the same time it is locking your tire to your vehicle. Extra security??? why not. There is also a lock that will lock your bikes to the carrier, really sleek design on this carrier, having that built in bike lock is really nice. I'll still be using my old lock because i like to thread it through my wheels too.The carrier does not move, I loaded 2 bikes onto it and strapped them down the way the book explains. I went with the extra support from 2 brackets that snap onto the carrier brackets. No sway, the bikes don't hit eachother, it's really nice.When i take the bikes off, the carrier fold up and sits flat, you tighten it up and it doesn't rattle. And my jeep is all over the road, i feel all the bumps and don't miss any chance at driving off-road.Only thing that I will suggest for small framed bikes, or women/kids bikes is a Frame adapter. My hardtail bike has a thick upper tube and it won't fit accross the bars properly so i use a frame adapter. It's a bar that goes from your bike seat post to your front post, giving you a horizontal bar to lay over the bike carrier.Thule doesn't dissapoint, once again they impressed me. Quality product, built to last.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, leaves full function of gate
*by D***A on May 21, 2013*

I got this for my new 2013 Wrangler because I wanted something that let me still use my gate without limitations. This does exactly that. Its not hard to install, the instructions are ok, but not great, you'll need good common sense to do it. It kinda leaves out a few things (that aren't hard to figure out) and some of the explanations aren't thorough enough. But you'll figure it out.The rack is sturdy, and pretty well made. Installed properly it is very solid and secure. My tires are oversized, and this kit includes hardware to accommodate them. The instructions recommend certain configurations for certain tire sizes, but I found these to be inaccurate. I swapped pieces until I found the best fit, and I would suggest doing that. Also, be advised, this rack, whether up or down, will be in your line of sight thru the back window. I have a soft top and the rack is level with my center brake light when the rack is up for a bike.The rack holds two bikes, and the cradles are adjustable to hold different styles so you can find a good fit for your bike. You just turn them to the desired angle. It advises a 75lb max for the rack, so 2 of most bikes will fall within that parameter. I have a 29er and its a big bike so it sticks out both sides, but not past the fender, so I don't have any worries about it getting hit while I'm driving. The cradles have rubber straps to secure the bikes and while you have to pull on them good and hard to get a nice fit, they are secure and won't scratch your bike. It also has a cable to lock over the bikes, and this is a tight fit because the cable isn't long. It comes with a strap for over fat tires as an extra security measure, and another to go around the bike frame and rack so your bike won't wobble around. If you use all the secures, it'll take about 5 minutes to snug-on your bike until you get used to it.With this rack I have full use of my Wrangler's gate at all times, bike on or off. Even with my over-sized bike my gate opens as far as I could need and the bike never touches the Jeep at all. I have had no issues with this rack and my bike has been safe and sound. I will say, I have given four stars instead of five because I think this rack is overpriced for what it is and its quality level, even on Amazon, which is the cheapest place I found. Not that its a bad rack, but it is definitely over-priced.

### ⭐ Looks nice, cheap construction
*by D***A on July 3, 2013*

I decided on the Thule bike rack for my Jeep Wrangler based on good reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. The product looked sturdy and well constructed upon arrival. The ability to customize the rack to fit a wide variety of tire and wheel combos was important since I have a lift, oversize tires (31") and aftermarket wheels with more offset than stock.The test fit went fine until I tried to disassemble. The stand off bolt, a piece designed to extend the threads of the bracket that fits behind the spare tire, came loose before the bolt that held the rack in place. No big deal. I got a long socket, took it apart and during final installation, I wanted to make sure the stand off bolt was nice and tight. I applied moderate pressure with my ratchet and sheared off the bolt. Mind you, this is the piece that holds the rack on your vehicle. It doesn't support the weight of the rack and bikes but it does accept the bolt that holds the rack tight to your tire.If you can't tighten this bolt securely without shearing it off, it could rattle loose during transport and leave your bikes in the middle of the highway or come out of the mounting bracket before the bolt that holds the rack on. The latter isn't the end of the world but the former is. The stand off bolt looked like cheap cast metal. I do a lot of mechanical work and only cheap bolts and fasteners that aren't properly hardened or forged break this easily. There are cheaper racks on Amazon but I went with the name brand. I returned the rack, I flat don't trust it even with a replacement part, and will buy different brand now.
