    Heavy Duty. The TeraFlex Heavy Duty Adjustable Tire Carrier spreads the load and weight of the tire to more than just one hinge point. Incorporating and using the factory tailgate hinge mounting points spread and separate the load as far apart as possible, resulting in maximum strength and durability. Dedicated tooling provides a cast A356.2 T6 Aluminum main component. This keeps the carrier as light, and strong as possible. The HD hinge brackets are forged steel and the HD 5/8" hinge pins are constructed from cold formed high-carbon hardened steel. The combination of mounting location and HD mounting brackets provides one of the strongest, rattle-free tire carriers on the market today. The TeraFlex HD tire carrier removes all stress from the gate by utilizing the HD reinforcement carrier as the load-carrying component, in effect it carries the weight of the tailgate assembly and the spare tire.

    Factory Fitment.  The fit and finish is designed to follow the flow and contour of the Jeep body, while seamlessly providing additional mounting points for off road accessories such as recovery jack and fluid containers. The factory Jeep tub provides substantial internal gussets and bracing that easily supports the new tire carrier and oversized tire. Designed to work with stock mount and aftermarket mounts such as the Teraflex JK HD Adjustable Tire Mount Kit. 

    Application: The Teraflex JK HD Aluminum Hinged Tire Carrier fits 2007-2018 Wrangler JK. The Teraflex JK HD Adjustable Tire Mount Kit is recommended with this tire hinge. You can buy both together as the Teraflex HD Hinged Carrier with Adjustable Tire Mount.

        5 Top Rated Questions

        Would this product be sturdy enough to use with a bike rack attached to the tire carrier?

        • Depending on the weight of the wheel and tire used, and the weight of the bike rack and bikes installed, you should be ok, however using a very large tire, such as a 37" tire with two or three heavy bikes would certainly push the limits of the Teraflex JK HD Aluminum Hinged Tire Carrier. Using conservative sized tires such as stock up to 35" and only one or two average weight bikes should have zero issues.

            Excellent product

            This is an excellent product. I needed something strong and sturdy to mount my spare 35 in tire and I didn't want something attached to the bumper. I used this along with the adjustable tire mount and it works perfect together. I wouldn't have done it any other way. These hinges are silvery strong and sturdy!

            Great product!

            I was sceptical when I purchased this tire carrier out of necessity when the spot welds on my tailgate began to let go and it rattled. Due to the higher cost and aluminum construction I wasnt sure but based on others reviews I went ahead and bit the bullet. This is quite a chunk of aluminum though they used to make this thing. I'm not sure how much weight they saved over steel but I have no question in this carriers integrity. No more tailgate rattle and I dont baby the tailgate like it loaded with fine China anymore. Tereflex has my business enough for me to slap the included stickers on the fenders.

            I purchased this carrier to support the weight of a rack and two bicycles, in addition to a 33" tire. Installation was simple - just follow the comprehensive directions. Now the tailgate closes with authority, and no worries about the original hinges sagging over time. The quality makes it worth the price!

            Well built, easy install

            I installed this in approximately an hour in my garage. Very straightforward, instructions are more of a formality. By far the most difficult part was hoisting my 37" spare from the ground to mount it on the adjustable carrier. The only thing I can knock this carrier for is the fact that it is PRICEY. I'm sure it's worth it, but right now I'm having a difficult time accepting the fact I paid over $700 for the hinges and actual carrier. Bumper/tire carrier combos can be found for that price. Still, I thoroughly enjoy the look and strength of this carrier along with the easy install. It holds my spare tightly against the tailgate with little, if any room for movement. Hopefully as I stew over the price I continue to enjoy it instead of wishing I'd gotten a bumper and a tire carrier.

            Yes, the product is on the expensive side, especially considering the competitions, but well worth the cost. Well made with durable materials, fits like a glove (and they even give you a spacer to use to keep your alignment of the rear door during installation. They really thought of everything), good instructions, and simply works as advertised. Great product.
