    Construction. Rugged Ridge has designed a creative kit, similar to tie rods on your steering system, that allows the opening of both your tire carrier and tail gate simultaneously--the tire carrier linkage kit. The kit makes accessing your cargo easy and quick. The kit can be mounted to XHD, RRC, Rock Crawler and/or most other aftermarket rear bumpers/tire carrier units. Also, the kit does not have to drill into your Jeep, but it does have to drill into your tire carrier unit. This simple easy to use kit will save you from frustration and is very helpful and convenient.

    Specs. The kit weighs a total of 2.4 pounds.

    Accessories & More. The kit includes mounting brackets, washers, self-tapping bolts, standard bolts, two rods with opposite threaded ends, a coupler and a jam nut to lock your rods in (much like your tie-rod ends in the steering system). The kit also receives a 5 year limited warranty from Omix-ADA.

    Application. Fits 1987-2006 TJ and YJ Wrangler models.

        what does it do for the vehicle

        • This linkage can help with securing the swing style tire carrier to the Jeep to keep it from swaying with movement. It will also allow the tire carrier and cargo door to be opened and moved together.

            Tire carrier linkage works

            I discovered this device by accident while looking for rear bumper and tire carrier. Ingenious! Makes the rear gate and tire carrier work as one unit when opening and closing. I believe cuts down on rattling. The adjustment took me some extra time to figure out so the gate closes fully and clicks in place when you close them together. I adjusted the linkage so the lock on the carrier just barely clicks down. This method puts enough push on the gate to get it to close properly. I left the isolator bump stop off because it was inhibiting the extra forward push to get the gate to fully close. Works perfectly as designed and now I don't have to deal with two swinging gates.

            Convenient

            I've had this little guy for a while now. This makes getting in the back cargo area easy kit convenient then having to open the row carrier and then the tail gate. Rugged ridge smart thinking.

          I like how the website warns you that the item doesn't fit your specific model truck. It saves me the hassle of returning the item if it doesn't fit. It also saves me time trying to figure the fit myself from the pictures.

          I’ve always been into cars of all kinds but I really fell in love with my Jeep. My Jeep was my first vehicle, and first and only Jeep so far but I know there will be others. The fact that there is nothing on the road that it can be confused with is what drew me to it. The sense of community and the ...
