Reviews for HyLine OffRoad 300200100 Oversized Spare Tire Adaptor Bracket for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
The Installation of the 3 studs was not fun. The tools recommended was a ratchet and 1/2" socket. I needed to use a long breaker bar instead. The ratchet was too small and would have taken forever. You really need to put some muscle into turning the lug nuts, to set the studs.
Overall, love love love the finished product.
Heavy Duty! Made in USA! If you don't want a bumper carrier this is a great option. Fits close to the tailgate like stock. Made installing a 33" tire a breeze. Installed upgraded hinges as well and lengthened all 5 tire snubbers slightly. Spare tire sits tight & solid now, tailgate closes perfectly.
A solid spare tire carrier, we’ll thought out design and with outstanding craftsmanship. Very pleased with my purchase.
Good for the oversize tires and with the brake lite has cool
Very well built. Perfectly positioned my 33 inch tire to clear my stock rear bumper on my 2000 tj.
Raised my 33's up high enough to install after market tube bumper.
This has got to be the best solution for larger tires on wranglers. It's the only tire mount that keeps the tire as close as possible to the tail gate; helps prevent the tire from bouncing around (like it dose on other mounts; fatiguing both the mount and tailgate). I spaced out 3 of the rubber tire bumpers (located on the tailgate) 1/2" - 2" outboard to make proper contact with tire; now the tire is mounted higher, is securely pushing against all 5 (I think) rubber tailgate bumpers, and it's held close as possible to the tailgate; very secure. I mount a 33" spare tire.
simple install worked out very well very clean finish. I can't think why you would be disappointed with this company
Just wish there were spare tire bumpers available.
This product is outstanding! I run 33s, but at 10.5 width. I had searched for a carrier which would not move my tire out away from the tailgate. The Rugged Ridge model is listed on this website with a description that says it moves your tire up to inches, but it is incorrect. I found out the hard way that it only moves your tire out to inches. This HyLine carrier moves your tire up to in, and keeps it close to the tailgate so that your tires contact the rubbee bumpers. It's construction and finish our very good. There is a support brace that you cannot see in the pictures which is very beefy. Pressing the studs and was a piece of cake, and it mounted right up in minutes. I highly recommend this carrier.
