Ok so its a pain in the butt to get 2 bikes in my Jeep. I was going to get the spare tire rack for 2 bikes but they way my frame is setup it will not fit onto the rack. Since I have the quick disconnects on the wheels I was thinking of attatching it to the Roll bar somehow when the top is off. I dont know what ill do with the hartop on, i will cross that bridge later. Anyone have any ideas?

will the rack not fit in front of the rear wheel and the top bar near the goose neck? it would jack the back of the bike up, but it may work. My daughter's bike doesn't fit properly either, but it works like I explained, if you follow!
 
If you have a cargo rack for the receiver hitch, they make bike racks that attach to the cargo rack. I've got one I've never even put on the cargo rack.

I dunno, i tried it on a friends spare tire rack and a yakima rack on the receiver hitch. Neither worked even with some good afro engineering.. So i would go with no on that.

Yeah.. didnt work.

I was thinking of mounting the cut throat (or skewer - whatever you want to call it) somewhere on the roll bar and locking in the front forks and the rear tire can rest on the back gate. I could fit 4 bikes then. Or putting rails on the jeep bed right next to the roll bar and keeping the rear tire in the rails and the fork locked into the skewer and have something locking it to the roll bar as well. That would be solid and I could keep the rear seat in. Its too high to go on the roof with the hard top on.

Any rack should work.

Hey Justin, I ride mtb's too. Just not in the last three years. Were it me, I'd go through the sways behind the seat tube, so it rests on the shock stay, The other rack bar would go under the down tube where ever it lands behind the fork. Be sure to lash to the rack bar with bungee's. Your fork mount would work well too, but not with the H/T. I bought one of those a few years ago, but never used it. Now I don't know where it is. In Philly I knew many people with your type of suspension, hauling on racks.
 
They make the hitch mount racks that are just like the tray mount roof racks.

The other option, is get one of those hitch hauler tray things,
mount two of the quick release things, opposite corners. Problem solved,
two bungies and the tires can go in front of the bikes, between them and the spare, that way you don't have to hold two tires. :D

But I do NOT think you can fit three on there. :)

Who knows.
