Has anyone used these or something similar on their H3? I'm a biker and don't want to go with the roof rack and I don't have a hitch so this would be a good option I think. Just curious if anyone has used one. You remove the tire then it bolts on behind it so it seems very secure.

 

I'm sure someone has, give them a chance and they should be by to help you out. It looks like that would work, just my 2 cents.

 

Yes I have that rack. It fits perfectly on a stock tire and holds two bikes without them hitting anything. They will however extend out to be as wide as the vehicle. Ibought on the internet because the local shops all wanted full retail.

 

i have the HOLYWOOD bike rack that fits into the hitch mount,you must have the mount since its standard fitment isnt it?

 

Nice looking bike rack! I use a hitch mounted rack, but it's so heavy/bulky and makes opening the door a problem if you need something out of the backbefore you unload at a race.

So, what's the name of the rack and could you post a link? Thanks!

Run, I am assuming you are speaking of the rack asked about by Trooper, if so it is a Thule "Spare Me" rack. It is on the Thule website and also at the REI site with a price of $159. Hope that helps.

 

I have the exact same one. Doesnt fit adventure tires!!!!!
Had to take it apart and re-drill where the horizontal part meets the vertical tubes to get extra clearance on the top.
You also won't be able to put the center cap back on the spare because the mounting bracket sandwiches between the spare tire and the mount and then sticks through the hub. so you have a 1"x1" black square tube sticking out the middle when you take the bike rack off. Lucky for me, the same day I installed it, I lost a cap on the highway so I only needed 4 instead of 5.

 

I found the best price at http://www.autoanything.com/bike-racks/69A3106A0A0.aspx
They wanted $142.95 and shipping was free.

 

ZGXtreme, Ghostrider and Daytona.....Thanks! Free shipping and no tax.

 

my hitch mounted rack i had before the H3 wasnt long enough to clear the spare tire...made me mad..but the back of the truck works nice, i can just hose off the inside
