Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL

If you're looking to carry a larger spare tire on your 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, the Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting is a solid upgrade. This part replaces your factory tailgate hinges, providing a much stronger mounting point designed to handle the extra weight and stress of off-road use. It's built to manage the amplified forces and vibrations you'll encounter when you're out exploring, ensuring your spare stays securely in place.

The main hinge casting is precision die-cast from aluminum, which gives it a lot of strength without adding unnecessary weight. It works as a single, solid piece that creates a stable connection between your tailgate and the Jeep's body. Combined with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, this setup offers significantly more load capacity than the stock hinges. This means less wear and tear over time, and it helps maintain smooth, one-handed access to your cargo area even with a heavy tire mounted. It's designed to work with most aftermarket and factory rear bumpers, and the installation is straightforward with no drilling needed.

For the best performance and carrying capacity, Rugged Ridge recommends pairing this hinge casting with their Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Wheel Mount (part number 11546.57). This combination is designed to securely carry up to a 37-inch tire and wheel. The casting also features a durable black powder coat finish to resist corrosion and maintain its look.
