Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11585.01 Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Mount for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited

A great improvement to stock. I also purchased a brake light halo on Amazon so that the 3rd taillight is not blocking my rear view mirror. A great combination.

Have larger than stock tires and will not let tailgate shut

Provided just the solution I needed to allow me to open my tailgate without removing my trailer hitch.

Freshly installed on my 93 YJ- replacing my oooold Tomken Swing out bumper/tire carrier. Critiques: As someone else mentioned the lock washers are not quite big enough to ‘slip’ over the threads of the M12 lugs. If you can force them down far enough to get a few threads showing, the ratchet will force them the rest of the way down as you torque down the bolts. Also, I still had my OE tailgate mounting bolts, but I can see where it would be a huge p.i.t.a. if you didnt. Spare is a 33 x 10.50 BFG Mud Terrain. The mount is heavy duty thick gauge steel. VERY easy to install, took no time at all. Everything aligned perfectly. Time will tell on the powder coat quality and whether or not the tailgate hinges can withstand the weight of the oversized tire.

Mounts 35" tire/wheel vertically

I drive an ‘03 TJ Rubicon with 33” tires on 15” wheels. See pics for comparison to my stock setup. Purchased October 2022.

Solid part, has good weight to it. It feels well made. Came Nicely powder coated. Shipping box was well built, the unit arrived bubble wrapped inside the box. Perfect condition.

I ended up reusing my old adapter to shift the tire up an additional inch from where this mount shifted my tire. This is a personal choice on my part to test my new hitch, and I need the clearance. I test fit my spare before installing the adapter plate, and the third brake light had plenty of clearance for my setup without installing an adapter.

Simple, easy to install, quality part. I’ll check in in a year.
