Every off-road enthusiast understands that if you are going to explore the unknown, tire blowouts are bound to happen. The Jeep Wrangler comes with a spare tire mount for this exact reason. In fact, it is one of their staples on all of their true off-road-oriented vehicles.
Being that the Wrangler comes with fairly small tires from the factory, the spare tire mount is only rated for 50-pounds. under light trail conditions. The factory load capacity just can’t support the weight of aftermarket wheels and tires. For many owners, this leaves them seeking alternative mounting solutions or bracketry.
Smittybilt engineered a heavy-duty spare tire carrier that increases the weight capacity by a whopping 92%! The HD tire mounting solution can accommodate up to 37-inch spares and withstand up to 135-pounds. To enhance the off-road styling of your vehicle, the carrier can be pivoted when the back shell is removed.
The monoblock aluminum construction provides a durable non-flex design. With the forged chromoly mounting brackets, any rattles, sagging, or flexing is eliminated completely giving you the security that your spare is rigid with the vehicle. Mounting points for a bracket to mount a farm jack is incorporated to ensure you have the tools you need on the fly.
With this design, the farm jack does not need a separate mounting point and does not prevent the tailgate from swinging open. Owners also have the option of running the OEM bumper as the tire carrier does not require any modification to the existing bumper. To complete the utility and rugged look, Smittybilt offers this HD pivot tire carrier in a black powder coat finish.
