Reviews: TeraFlex Heavy-Duty Hinged Tire Carrier

Easy installation

Great product and does everything I ask of it... Finish is nice on item and it fit like a glove...

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.

Pricey but very well constructed! Looks good - don't even notice it isn't stock. Big advantage of this over a rear bumper/tire carrier to me is 1) the tire and tailgate still open together and 2) it allows me to choose any rear bumper at any time. Easy to install - took a little over an hour.

Would recommend for any one using a large spare that does not want the extra weight or silly looks of aftermarket bumpers.
