TeraFlex Jeep tire carrier in black powder coat;Aluminum;Support up to a 37 inch tire; TeraFlex heavy duty hinged carrier spreads the load and weight of the tire to more than just one hinge point.;The Jeep spare tire carrier HD hinge brackets are forged steel and the HD 5/8 inch hinge pins are constructed from cold formed high-carbon hardened steel
Had a lot of rattling from my oversized spare. This fixed all my problems. Everything is rock solid now. A little fiddly to get adjusted just right, but very well worth the effort. No more rattle and no more worrying about when my tailgate was going to get damaged.
Easy to install and does the job for 37s on the back of the jeep!
Have owned three JKU’s (‘12 Sport, ‘17 Rubicon Recon, ‘17 Sport) and when I first put a 285/70/17 on my ‘12 tailgate, I quickly damaged the hinge. Then I got my Rubi with the steel bumpers and didn’t want to “downgrade” to a different bumper/carrier combo like I have on my ‘97 TJ. This Teraflex Tire Carrier and hinge support works great to bear the weight of larger tires AND allow you to use whatever bumper you desire. There is also the added benefit of the new hinge having a set stopping point upon opening, which also keeps you from blowing out that flimsy factory tailgate stop latch. I upgraded the third brake light also with the Teraflex brake light extension. Works like a charm and worth every penny!!!
Bought this tire carrier to replace the previous owners rear bumper carrier that sagged and rattled. Holds my 37" Toyo M/T snug against the tailgate at the perfect height to optimize what is left of my rear window visibility. No rattles or sagging, easy one handed operation, and no need to open a carrier and the tailgate individually to get access to the back of my Jeep. One of my favorite purchases thus far.
Q: What's the weight capacity after installing it? Answer this question
A: The factory tailgate can only support the weight of up to a 35” spare tire and wheel combo w/out reinforcement. The Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier (# 4838900 – INCLUDED) or other tailgate reinforcement and Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount (# 4838910 – NOT INCLUDED) are required to support up to a 40” spare tire and wheel combo.
