Description

SpareTireCrrHinge

The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting your oversized wheel and tire. Functionally designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions. The precision die-cast aluminum Hinge Casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel. The one-piece design maintains one-handed access to cargo area and rigidly links the Wheel Mount to the reinforced section of the rear quarter panel. This, in combination with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, results in far superior load capacity than the factory tailgate hinges, thereby effectively reducing wear and increasing longevity. Compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers. No drilling required. Recommended pairing with Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Wheel Mount (P/N 11546.52) for up to and including 37 in. wheel/tire carrying capacity. Patent Pending.

Product Overview

The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting 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. Designed to complement the factory spare tire mount OR in combination with the Rugged Ridge HD Wheel Mount (11546.62) for maximum performance, the HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting will give your tailgate the strength it needs to haul the heavy loads with ease. The hinge casting is 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 functional tire carrier on the market today. No drilling required. Patent Pending
