Can you confirm if this has the brake light and if it works with a 2022 willy's sport model?
Yes, the Teraflex 4838910 Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit includes a quick-release 3rd brake light mount that relocates your factory brake light behind the spare tire.

It is fully compatible with a 2022 Jeep Wrangler JL Willys Sport model, utilizing the factory tailgate mounting points for a direct, no-drill installation.
Can I get a replacement part for this spare tire carrier? The part where the backup camera mounts in?
Yes, replacement parts are available! Teraflex offers individual replacement components, including the backup camera bracket and mount pieces for the Teraflex 4838910 Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit.

If you need a specific replacement piece for the camera mount, feel free to reach out to our customer service team with your order details or carrier part number, and we can help you get the exact piece ordered so you can get your backup camera securely reinstalled!
Will this carrier fit a 2022 Rubicon 4xe unlimited? I do not have an original spare tire carrier, so does this kit contain everything I need?
Yes, the Teraflex 4838910 Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit is fully compatible with a 2022 Wrangler Rubicon 4xe Unlimited.

Because this kit includes both the heavy-duty hinged carrier and the adjustable tire mount, it acts as a complete standalone system and contains everything you need to mount a spare tire directly to the tailgate, even if you are missing the factory carrier.
I have aftermarket rims, to accommodate a 12.50" wide tire. I have the Teraflex spare tire lift and the oem tire carrier. My issue is; the spare tire is like 4 inches away from my tailgate. I am looking to get the spare tire closer, so like no need for the bump stop "extensions" Is there adjustment for in and out, and or, up and down, to accommodate different rim offset and tire size?
Yes, the Teraflex 4838910 Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit features full in-and-out depth adjustments and up-and-down height adjustments. You can slide the mount inward to tuck your 12.50-inch tire flush against the tailgate, removing the need for bump stop extensions.
Is this compatible with the rubicon x heavy duty hinge?
Yes, the Teraflex 4838910 Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit is fully compatible with the factory heavy-duty tailgate hinge found on the Rubicon X. The mounting bracket is engineered to bolt directly to the factory OE reinforcement hinge setup without requiring additional modifications.
Is this compatible with the Rugged Ridge Part #: 11546.56 Spartacus Tire Carrier Hinge?
Yes, the Teraflex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit is compatible with the Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge.

This combination is a popular "mix-and-match" solution for Jeep Wrangler JL owners. The Teraflex kit provides the adjustable depth and height needed for larger tires, while the Rugged Ridge Spartacus Hinge provides the heavy-duty structural reinforcement for the tailgate.
On my 2020 Jeep Rubicon I have the factory hinge support. Since this camera sticks out further do I need to purchase some type of camera extension cable?
No, you will not need a camera extension to install the Teraflex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit. Teraflex specifically engineered this kit to reuse the factory rearview camera wiring harness without any cutting or extensions. The kit includes a dedicated billet aluminum camera mount that allows you to relocate the factory camera so it still "looks" through the center of your spare tire, regardless of the tire's size or position.

While the camera wiring is fine, there is a weight limit to consider:
Up to 35" Tires: This kit can be used alone on the factory tailgate.
37" to 40" Tires: Teraflex strongly recommends pairing this mount with the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier (tailgate reinforcement) to prevent the extra weight from bending or cracking your factory tailgate hinges.
Is there a license plate mounting kit that goes along with this?
AS this kit does not change the factory license plate location, there is no license plate mounting kit for this. However, if you wanted to completely delete your spare tire from the vehicle Terafles offers a license plate relocation for that. https://www.quadratec.com/p/teraflex/alpha-hd-spare-tire-mount-delete-kit-wrangler-jl-4838500
Hello, Is this product simply a relocation solution for the spare tire, or is it a tailgate reinforcement also? I see other solutions that either tie into the factory hinges or the replace them. This doesn't appear to reinforce the tailgate for the extra weight of an oversize wheel and tire. Thanks
Although the Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount can be used alone it has been designed to be installed in conjunction with the Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier. Thanks for your inquiry.
Will this mounting kit work with Mopar tail gate reinforcement kit?
Teraflex has confirmed that is will fit with the Mopar kit. Thanks for your inquiry.
