How does the spare tire carrier open and close?

The carrier opens with light pressure and is held open by a gas strut. It closes with a simple slam, and a spring-loaded locking pin automatically engages.

What is the benefit of mounting the spare tire on a carrier like this?

This carrier moves the spare tire from underneath the vehicle or off the tailgate. This makes it easier to access, protects it from off-road damage, and reduces wear on tailgate hinges, especially with larger tires.

Does this carrier come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

Yes, the spare tire carrier includes the necessary mounting hardware for installation.

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.
