Add a tire carrier to your new Smittybilt Gen2 XRC Bumper to get bigger spare tires on your Jeep. This new tire carrier design bolts directly to the new XRC Bumpers
2021 JLURD 4.5" lift on 40's with Black Rhino Arsenal Rims. Carries the 40" spare without issue. I have done Tennessee extreme offroading with it and Zero issues.
Amazing product. This carrier does not rattle as it it attached to the tailgate, with a link, however puts no weight on it as it all rests on the massive hinge. Ive had this product on 3 of my Wranglers to date, with the largest tire being a 40".
I have a 2019 Rubicon and had 4WParts install it. If you want to mount your Hi-Lift Jack, have them order the kit to install it. My biggest problem is that they backup camera is vignetted with the shroud that surrounds it. There should be a way to correct it.
I bought this tire because it mounted to the frame through the bumper and is also bolted to the tailgate. It is timed to open with a one handed operation. The Rotopax mounts are a nice extra. But with most wheel offsets plan on purchasing a wheel spacer to provide clearance. You will also need a vertical hi-lift Jack mount, if you want to use that option on the carrier. Overall very pleased with the product.
Solidly built tire carrier. Losing a star because the included instructions are awful and there are LOTS of leftover parts. also, you're going to need a wheel spacer (or two) to mount a wheel that doesn't have a real deep backspacing. Otherwise, easy to attach a hi-/lift mount, rotopax cans and accessories. Looks great, feels sturdy.
Solid and heavy, no rattles. Finish is great. Instructions were a little difficult. Will not fit a stock wheel, will need to purchase a specific spacer/mount for the spare tire. The wheel studs are a pain to install and you will need a press, ball joint press, or some type of vice to get them all the way installed. I had a sagging tailgate and this lifted it up. One open Operation is easy And works as advertised.
Q: Does this require any of the factory parts? I.e. rubber bump stops? Answer this question
A: I installed this about two years ago and only needed one OEM bump stop that rest against the main swing arm to help dampen any rattle sound. So far it's working great and no squeaks or rattle on any trails

A: No it doesn’t. However I left mine in place & it helps prevent unwanted noise.

Q: Can a back-up camera be mounted onto this carrier? Answer this question
A: Yes you can mount a back up camera on this you can buy the cheap ones on Amazon they were great. But to be honest with you I wouldn’t buy the Smitty built tire carrier I have had nothing but problems it’s a pain to install. It’s squeaks while driving the doors almost impossible to open because it’s so stiff the grease point is so far up into the bumper it is almost impossible to get a grease gun in. Not worth the money and hassle.

A: It would have to be a custom mount as this carrier isn’t specifically designed for one.

Q: Is there a linkage kit to attach to rear door? Answer this question
A: No, this unit is supported by the XRC bumper and mounts to it for total support. The tire carrier or the tire mounted to it do not touch the rear door.

A: Hello, No, there is no linkage kit. This would just install to the Smittybilt rear bumper, part number S/B76653. Thanks for checking us out.
