Having a spare tire on board gives you the peace of mind while driving a Jeep Wrangler on road or off. Unfortunately, the factory tailgate spare tire mount doesn’t allow for a large spare to be used. Not only will a larger spare hit the bumper, but the added weight will wear on the tailgate hinges and the tailgate itself, causing metal fatigue. A Wrangler TJ tire carrier, either tub mounted or bumper mounted, will alleviate all of the issues around carrying a large spare tire.
Why Consider a Jeep TJ Rear Tire Carrier?
A Jeep TJ spare tire carrier is a worthy investment for its numerous benefits. Although the Wrangler comes with a stock replacement tire carrier, it’s designed to withstand normal road use and the weight of a stock wheel and tire. When it comes to Wrangler off-road builds, larger wheels and tires are a common upgrade and an aftermarket Jeep TJ spare tire carrier is the only way to mount them safely and securely. An aftermarket TJ tire carrier is also a great way to make fitting or removing the spare wheel an easier task. Factory spare tire carriers have a few lug nuts and screws that need to be undone to be able to remove the tire, and this process is much simpler and faster with an aftermarket Jeep TJ rear tire carrier. Factory spare tire carriers can also be easily broken, so if you’re running your Wrangler on expensive wheels and tires, investing in a more secure tire carrier will prevent wheel and tire theft. Lastly, an aftermarket Jeep TJ tire carrier can enhance the Wrangler’s overall exterior aesthetic appeal by matching the style with the Wrangler’s aftermarket bumpers. For Wrangler owners with a keen eye for detail, even the spare tire carrier needs to match the rest of the car for a full aesthetic transformation.
Finding the Right Jeep TJ Tire Carrier
When considering an aftermarket Jeep TJ tire carrier, make sure to choose a reputable manufacturer known for durability and quality. Because off-road Wrangler builds usually include larger wheels and tires, the new tire carrier should be able to withstand the additional weight. Off-road driving puts additional stress on the carrier, which is why its construction must be sturdy and durable. By including your car’s year, make, and model, you’ll find a variety of compatible Jeep TJ rear tire carrier options. This way, you’ll spend less time searching for the right carrier, and with just a couple of simple steps, your new upgrade will be headed toward your door. Free and fast shipping is also included for all orders, so you won’t have any additional expenses.
