Moving the spare to the tailgate frees up the bumper but loads the stock hinges. The Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier replaces the tailgate hinges with a die-cast aluminum hinge casting, forged steel hinges and hardened steel pins, which carry more load than the stock hinges and keep one-handed access to the cargo area.
The steel wheel mount holds the spare at a slant for oversized wheel and tire combinations while keeping clearance at the bumper, and it carries up to a 35in tire and wheel. The hinge casting and wheel mount have a black textured powder coat. It works with the factory high mount brake light and the OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers, and needs no drilling.
Fits Wrangler TJ, Rubicon and Unlimited models.
