Description
Reinforces Tailgate. Barricade’s HD Tire Carrier Bracket, for use with the OEM tire mount, was engineered to distribute the weight of your Jeep’s spare tire across the entire tailgate to eliminate unwanted metal fatigue. With this big, beefy Tire Carrier Bracket in place you won’t have to worry about your over sized spare tire adding any undo stress to your JK’s sheet metal tailgate. Barricade’s HD Tire Carrier Bracket will not affect the operation of tailgate.
Heavy Duty Construction. Barricade Off-Road manufactures their HD Tire Carrier Bracket from 5mm thick, hot rolled carbon steel plate for superior strength and extra rigidity. Barricade then completes the entire Bracket in a two stage finish using epoxy pre-coating and high-grade textured black powder coating for long lasting durability.
Bolt-on Installation. Barricade designed their HD Tire Carrier Bracket to be a direct bolt-on upgrade for all Jeep JKs. As a direct bolt-on, this Barricade Tire Carrier reuses the original factory OEM tire mount and third bracket light. There is no additional cutting, drilling, or fabrication required for installation.
Application. This Barricade Heavy Duty Spare Tire Carrier Bracket is designed to reuse the factory OEM tire carrier mount and 3rd brake light on 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JKs, including the 2-door and 4-door models. Only the HD Tire Carrier Bracket is included.

Very pleased with the tire carrier.
I would give it 5 stars if it came with a Barricade sticker.

No more rattling with 35×12.50 mounted on the tailgate. Would have given 5 stars but had to file down the sleeve on the tire carrier hinge so it would fit in the hinge plate. I tried beating it in with a rubber mallet but the sleeve was sticking up about 1/16” and it would not fit in the hinge plate. After filing it down and beating it into the hinge plate the holes on the top hinge plate didn’t line up and I could not get the bolt down both holes. I had to remove the hinge plates from the Jeep and install them on the tire carrier then bolt everything on the Jeep. I would recommend putting the hinge plates on the tire carrier first then bolting the to the Jeep if you have someone helping you.

Necessary upgrade with 35″ tires. Very nice quality and great price. Really like how it handles the weight of the tire / larger wheel and eliminates the factory hinges. Kills two birds with one stone.

I thought I would give this a try given the price. It fits pretty well. I was missing parts when it was delivered and it took one week to receive them. Once installed, I had a clanking noise with every bump. There is a little play between the hinge bracket and hinge that I haven’t been able to eliminate. Also does not come with new hardware, so looks silly with white bolts on a black carrier. Crinkle coat also flakes off pretty easily.
