I am now driving a Jeep Wrangler TJ with hard top (off in the summer though). I have a home-made hitch rack that I'm using now but it's real unhandy, as I can't easily get into the back without taking everything off. Any ideas?

Does it have the spare tire mounted on the back? If so the racks that mount right to the spare work quite well.

I have seen those, and that would be a possible solution but the limit for the tire carrier is 50 lb's and I am pushing that now with an aftermarket tire/ wheel. I'm afraid that if I try to carry a couple dually bikes the whole thing might fall off. Thanks for the reply...
