I am not sure about the Jeeps roof rack but you could ask the dealer about it or buy a Thule roof rack that mounts on  the Jeeps rack we did that with my sisters Honda Pilot and it worked well.

Yes it will fit if I mount a receiver there.  My jeep has a roof rack but I think it us more for show.

Put a front receiver on the Jeep and carry either the spare of bikes up there.  I have room in the bed of my truck so carry the spare there.  I tried carrying the bikes on the front of the truck but didn't like the fact that they took up so much veiw.

Will a bike rack fit on the front of the Jeep?

I want to use my bike rack on the back of my R178.  I removed the spare tire and bracket.  I tow the Rpod with a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  I have no room in the jeep for the spare,  I don't want it bouncing around in the Rpod going down the road.  And suggestions what to do with the spare? My idea of putting the bike rack behind the spare was not a good idea due to weight concerns.
