If you have a spare tire on the rear of your vehicle and you want to transport up to 2 bikes, the SpareTime is your most premium bike carrier option. It attaches directly to your spare tire’s mounting bolts for a secure, snug fit, allowing you peace of mind while traveling down the road.Carry up to two bikes at a time on your spare-tire-equipped Jeep or SUV with the Yakima Sparetime bike rack. The Sparetime is easy to install, with a premium design that attaches directly to your spare tire's mounting bolts to create a secure, snug fit. As a result, you'll enjoy full peace of mind whether you're driving down the highway or along a gravelly country road.
 The Sparetime includes two integrated bottle openers for kicking back at the campsite. |
The Sparetime comes with a universal mounting plate, two extensions designed to fit most lug patterns, and a 60-inch locking cable that secures the bikes to the rack. The plate also supports both centered and off-centered mounting, depending on which orientation is most convenient and stable. SKS-lockable for added security, the rack--which is made of durable powder-coated steel--measures 13.75 by 30.5 by 18 inches (W x H x D) with arms extended.
The Sparetime fits spare tire widths P195 to P318 (12.5 inches), but will not fit a spare tire mount with an eight-hole bolt pattern or hole-pattern diameter greater than 5.5 inches.
About Yakima
Yakima has been dedicated to eradicating "rack envy" for more than 30 years. The company employs a ton of cyclists, campers, skiers, snowboarders, climbers, hikers, and kayakers, all of whom load up their car racks and take to the forests, slopes, and waterways every chance they get. This dedication helps Yakima come up with new ideas and inspirations each year. Ideas like, "Hey, let's make a snow mount you can operate with gloves on so we don't get a debilitating case of popsicle finder." Or, "Let's put padding and nets in our cargo boxes so gear doesn't rattle around like it's in a giant maraca." And, "Let's put integrated bottle openers on hitch-mount bike racks, since you can't carry one around while you're wearing spandex fancy pants." Boasting a legacy of innovation and quality, Yakima is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Excellent Product / Company
Ordered this carrier since trailer hitch carriers would not allow me to fully open my rear storage compartment on the Jeep Wrangler. Have had spare tire mount carriers before and they weren't very sturdy and the bikes "swung". This is totally different. Mounts to the same mounting point as the spare tire itself and has additional tie-downs that extend down the frame to minimize "swinging". Works perfectly. Easy to install. Company shipped quickly and product arrived in good condition. Great transaction. Thanks.

I read the other reviews in Amazon and was somewhat cautious about this purchase only because of the "issues" that others were experiencing with the install. I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and the install took me only 20 minutes (at least for my vehicle and model). Lug pattern on the spare mount fit the rack mount perfectly. I re-installed the tire and then then the rack itself in no time. I was surprised at the ease of the install and was very happy with the outcome. I purchased this to replace a receiver mounted Thule rack which interfered with the rear door of the Jeep. This rack not only allows for the function of my door it also LOOKS FANTANSTIC and is VERY ROBUST. I am a mechanical engineer and I can tell you that the design of this item was very well thought out. The bike will not rock during transit since the rack is in contact directly to the spare tire sidewall. The tie downs are a high durometer rubber and fit tight. Despite the description in the ad this...
Yakima Sparetime for 2006 RAV4 Limited
Had a rough start with the Sparetime. Very strong husband needed an extra measure of patience to get the tire to fit over the mount. It took two hours and we were literally about to repackage the product for return when we thought of one last appraoch. There is absolutely no wiggle room because of the RAV's unique lip combined with the Limited's rims. We had to basically lift the mount from the bottom with strong tape to convince the tire to fit over the mount and the lip. We could only get two screws through at first, but once we started tightening those two the third screw decided to cooperate and we were able to finish mounting the rack securely. We also had one strap break on the first use. However, a quick email to Yakima and we had a free replacement within a few days - no hassle at all. We have been using the rack for several weeks, including for a few long distance road trips. The bikes are completely secure and don't move an inch. We love it and even my husband admits it was...
