Rage Powersports BC-8407-2 Blue Devil 2-Bike Spare Tire Mounted Bicycle Carrier Rack by Rage Powersports

Exactly what I needed for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I don't know about some of these negative reviews: This seems like a great carrier if installed right. You can flip the base plate over for more mounting options to fit the your lugs; it's designed to work either way. After popping out the Jeep logo cap the medium mounting tube was a perfect fit on my stock wheel and tire. The rest of the installation was simple: Slide the top tube into the bottom tube, install three bolts, and you're done. Unlike what you see in several reviews, know that the top of the unit DOES rotate to the side and out of the way. You just need to remove the two bolts with the included wrench and replace them after rotation. It's easy but takes a couple minutes. The way the screw knob locks the carrier onto the vehicle is pretty ingenious. If you secured your bike to the bottom part of the unit, I think this should be a decent antitheft solution. It would take some real effort for a thief to remove the bike. Once installed, the unit is rock-solid with zero wobble. And you still have access to your rear door and glass and the hitch receiver. I'm very satisfied with this product. Seems like a way more effective option than hitch mounts costing four times or more as much, and definitely better than the products that require an elaborate system of straps around the tire and still aren't secure. At the price it's a no-brainer.

Awesome product for the price! It is a knock-off but it is made of thick steel and good looking welds. It did come together fairly easily, it comes with three extension tube to accommodate for different tire sizes, tools to install and required hardware for installing. You can see in my images that the mounting bracket that goes behind the tire can be rotated to work with your bolt pattern, also, you will see that a split ring washer needs to be added (included) to the square tube that attaches to the bracket (this is important). My pictures will also show that I had to remove the center cap on my spare tire to get the tube to fit through. Once fully mounted with center screw/knob tighten the oval-shaped metal plate slightly pressed on my tire (which we want), this is to help stabilize the rack. Once bike was attached using provided strap, I hit the highway, the mountain bike did not flop around and seamed secured.If anything changes with performance or quality I will update.

I could tell right away that this is a quality product. I had an issue in that the plate that attaches to the coving that holds the spare tire didn't fit cleanly. I had to bring out the hammer and lightly tap it into place. The other issue is that the plate didn't fit cleanly against the coving. I kept the tire off and put the lug nuts back on, tightening the plate to where it needed to be. A few days later, I took the lug nuts off, put the tire back on and was able to finish the install. What I like about this rack is that the important part can be easily removed and stored inside the vehicle. Best of the three bike racks I've had by far. Minor issue with the installation.

The rack itself worked well.... my one star is because if you lose the keys for the lock, you apparently need to buy another rack because replacement keys are not available. That was the answer from Discount Ramps (shipped by) and Rage Powersports (supposedly the manufacturer).So if you buy it, don't lose the keys!

Purchased the BC-8407-2 Blue Devil rack for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler.To start the product looks good, is very well coated and appears to be a solid product.However upon installation I found that the mounting hole did not line up with the studs on the Jeep.Opening up the needed holes was necessary. Once the rack was modified and installed I went to test fit our bikes and found that this rack will not facilitate older design girl's style of frames. Now I had the discard the upper part of the rack and frankenstein fit the upper portion of an older rack to fit with this Blue Devil.
