Important Fitment Note: YJ and TJ tailgate bolt patterns are not automatically identical; the original title does not prove universal fit across generations. Confirm each hole position and tire carrier offset. Not for 2007-up JK.
Product Overview
The bracket holds the spare tire at the back of the vehicle, keeping the tire mounted outside the cabin. It is a mounting support, not a replacement spare tire or wheel.
Original tire carriers can rust or fatigue under a heavy wheel. Replace damaged brackets only after checking the tailgate structure and whether the tire exceeds the vehicle’s supported weight.
