Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Mount 87-06 Jeep Wrangl

The RUGGED RIDGE Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Mount for 1987–2006 Jeep Wrangler is a purpose-built tailgate-mounted spare tire carrier designed to securely hold tires up to 35 inches on your TJ or YJ platform. This product is ideal for off-road enthusiasts who require a reliable spare tire solution for their adventures.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel and finished in a durable black coating, this carrier is engineered to withstand the rigors of off-road use, including vibrations, mud, and water crossings. The tailgate mounting design effectively distributes the load into the Wrangler's frame structure, eliminating the need for aftermarket bumper modifications on TJ and YJ models.

This tire carrier is particularly beneficial for expedition builders, rock crawlers, and overlanders who venture far from support infrastructure and need a full-size spare tire as insurance against punctures or sidewall failures. The straightforward bolt-on installation on TJ and YJ tailgates requires no welding or cutting, making it a practical upgrade for those planning extended off-pavement travel.
