You chose a great spare-tire-mount bike rack in the Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Carrier # Y02599. This rack will indeed fit both your Jeep Wrangler (1987 through 2015) and your 2008 Toyota RAV4.

If you'll be transporting any bikes without a top frame tube, such as kids bikes or women's-style step-through frames, you'll want to add an adapter bar # Y02531. The bar connects between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with the carrier's arms. This helps ensure safe ground clearance at the bikes' wheels.
