Agreed. Here is my rational: I take my fat bike out for a ride frequently, want to maximize my riding time and minimize any setup time.Adding weight to the rear of the spare tire may exceed the load capacity for the tire rack unless the optional tire rack and gate hinge reinforcement is installed. Thats a lot of leverage when you extend past the spare with a bike rack and a couple of bikes bouncing around going down the highway.
Hence my requirements are:
1) Carry ONE bike only
2) Keep the rack on all the time
3) Fit the jeep in the garage with the rack on
4) Open the tailgate without having to remove/pivot any equipment
Since I still have the factory 33" BFG spare, I think I'll be fine. I have ordered the rack, will report back how well it works.
