Teraflex Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier & Adjustable Spare Tire Mount Kit for 2018-2024 Wrangler JL
The factory Jeep spare tire carrier is strong enough for a lot of drivers. But you're not like other drivers - you're constantly tackling tough off-road trails or simply making your own. And if you've upgraded to larger aftermarket tires and wheels, then a regular spare tire holder is just weighing you down.
A TeraFlex tire carrier keeps your spare ready if you find yourself with a puncture, cracked wheel or other setback. Designed to accommodate up to a 40-inch tire, the TeraFlex JL Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount will secure your full-size spare tire over the most extreme trails and rugged terrain. It also provides easy access to the rear cargo area in one smooth action. At Just for Jeeps, we have great deals and more than 75 years of experience to assist with your off-road upgrades.
Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier
The Teraflex HD Tire Carrier uses the factory tailgate hinge mounting points, spreading the load of the spare tire over a larger area for maximum strength and durability. Internal gussets and bracing in the stock JL body support the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and oversized tire, eliminating all stress from the tailgate. Compared to the JK piece, the new JL: Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier spans nearly the width of the tailgate for better weight distribution. Additionally, the updated design features a one-piece, forged steel hinge that ties the top and bottom factory hinge locations together as well as additional vertical braces for increased strength. The Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier also provides additional mounting points for off-road accessories such as a recovery jack and fluid containers. The adjustable tire carrier is constructed from strong and lightweight 6061-T6 extruded aluminum.
Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount
Although the Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount can be used alone, it has been designed to be installed in conjunction with the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier. The Tire Mount can support the additional weight of a full-size spare tire by securely mounting the tire to the Tire Carrier and tailgate. Complete adjustability includes vertical as well as fore and aft adjustments. The Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount Kit includes a quick-release third brake light mount and a billet aluminum rearview camera mount. The heavily gusseted Tire Mount is formed and welded from CNC laser-cut steel for superior strength.
NOTE: If your vehicle includes a front and rear camera, there is an additional adapter that will be needed for installation. Contact us or TeraFlex directly and we can get one sent to you.
