Rugged Ridge Spartacus Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Kit; 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ 11546.60

The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier System for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ, Rubicon and Unlimited delivers the perfect balance of strength/stability, allowing you to carry up to a 35 tire/wheel combo without all the extra weight of steel bumper-mounted tire carriers. The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier incorporates a brutally strong die-cast aluminum hinge casting, forged steel hinges and hardened steel pins that replaces the feeble stock tailgate hinges for greater load-bearing capacity while still allowing smooth, one-handed access to the cargo area. The HD Tire Carrier Wheel Mount is constructed of sturdy steel and gives the spare a slanted mounting position so it can handle those over-sized wheel/tire combinations while maintaining optimum bumper clearance. It even permits use with the factory high mount brake light. Both the hinge casting and wheel mount are protected with a durable black textured powder coat to fend off the elements in even the harshest off-road conditions. Compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers, the HD Tire Carriers patent-pending design makes it the most versatile and functional tire carrier on the market today. No drilling required.
