Motobilt Spare Tire Carrier; Bare Steel (18-26 Jeep Wrangler JL)Find parts that fit my vehicle

Heavy Duty Spare Tire Carrier. The Motobilt Spare Tire Carrier in bare steel is engineered to securely support larger tires for Jeep JL and JLU models. It enhances the factory tailgate by distributing load evenly across 12 mounting points, preventing sagging and ensuring smooth operation when carrying tires up to 42 inches. This carrier is ideal for Jeep enthusiasts upgrading to bigger wheels who require a durable, reliable mounting solution.

Construction and Appearance. Constructed from 3/16 inch laser cut and formed steel, the carrier offers robust strength with a clean, precise design. It ships in bare steel form, allowing custom painting or coating to the owner’s preference before installation. High-density hinge bushings with steel inner liners and greasable pivot points enhance durability and ensure smooth function over time.

Installation. The carrier installs via a direct bolt-on to existing factory mounting points, requiring removal of the factory tailgate catch. No drilling is necessary. It is recommended to carefully test fit and paint or coat the carrier prior to final installation to ensure proper fit and finish.

Application. Designed specifically to fit 18-26 Jeep Wrangler JL models, this carrier supports wheel backspacing from 4.25 to 5.5 inches and requires a license plate and camera relocation kit. It is compatible with both factory and aftermarket bumpers but may interfere with certain tail light covers or high lift jack mounts when fully opened.
