      Description

      Interior Tire Mounting for Enhanced Departure Angle. The Excessive Industries GateKeeper Tail Gate 40 Kit; Bare Steel relocates your spare tire from the rear bumper or swing gate to the interior cargo area, significantly improving your Jeep’s departure angle. By eliminating the bulky external tire carrier, you reduce the risk of dragging or catching the rear end on steep inclines and rocky terrain. This setup is ideal for serious off-roaders who want maximum clearance and performance on technical trails.

      Optimized Weight Distribution for Better Handling. Mounting the spare tire inside the cargo area shifts its weight forward, centering it over the rear axle. This redistribution improves overall vehicle balance and handling, especially when navigating uneven terrain or making quick directional changes. Excessive Industries reports that Jeeps equipped with the Excessive Industries GateKeeper Tail Gate 40 Kit; Bare Steel handle more predictably and maintain better traction compared to setups with rear-mounted spares.

      Bare Steel Finish for Customization. Delivered in bare steel, the Excessive Industries GateKeeper Tail Gate 40 Kit; Bare Steel allows owners to finish the product to their exact specifications. Whether you prefer powder coating, painting, or a raw industrial look, the unfinished surface gives you full control over the final appearance. This is especially appealing for custom builds where matching trim or color themes is a priority.

      Installation. Putting this Excessive Industries GateKeeper Tail Gate 40 Kit; Bare Steel on your Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door takes 2 hours to install.

      Warranty. There is a limited warranty on this product.

      Application. The Excessive Industries GateKeeper Tail Gate 40 Kit; Bare Steel fits 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 4-Door models.
