How does the spare tire carrier open and close?

You apply slight pressure to a lever to open the carrier, and a gas strut assists the motion and holds it open. To close it, simply slam it shut; a spring-loaded locking pin automatically disengages when the weight is released.

Can this carrier hold more than one spare tire?

Depending on your vehicle, the ARB tire carrier can be configured to hold one or two spare tires, or a jerry can holder. This provides flexibility for carrying extra supplies on longer trips.

What is the benefit of mounting the spare tire on the bumper?

Mounting the spare tire on the bumper makes it easier to access compared to under-vehicle storage. It also prevents stress on your tailgate hinges, which can lead to rattles and premature wear.

Product Details

Built to the same uncompromising standards as our Bumpers, all ARB tire carriers incorporate a heavy duty towing system and depending on the vehicle may accommodate one or two tires or a jerry can holder. There are many benefits associated with fitting a tire carrier to a vehicle. Many 4x4s have their spare tire positioned underneath the vehicle making it difficult to access and vulnerable to damage, particularly in harsh off road environments. Others have their spare tire mounted on the back door, which can place stress on the door hinges, resulting in rattles and compromised dust sealing as increased wear is put on the door assembly. Both of these mounting methods can also prove unsuitable if a larger tire size is sought. An ARB tire carrier addresses all of these issues, relocating the spare tire onto the bumper assembly via a swing out carrier. Operation of the swing out carriers could not be more simple. Slight pressure applied to a lever opens each carrier with a gas strut assisting this process. The strut holds the carrier in the open position, with engagement of a locking pin only being necessary if the vehicle is on an extreme side angle. The carrier can be closed with a simple slam shut, with the spring loaded locking pin automatically disengaging as soon as the weight is released.
