Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11546.50 Spartacus HD Tire Carrier for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Very well built and it looks great.

I have a 2015 2 door and aftermarket wheels with 32”s. The backspacing and extra tire weight was causing the top tailgate hinge to wear out. I had a terrible rattle over the smallest bumps. I considered a bumper but chose this option due to costing less than a bumper since it included the 3rd brake light mount and bumpers in my budget would cover the license plate. The hinge and carrier are very heavy duty and easy to install. The instructions were good and easy to follow. I was really surprised how heavy the hinge bracket it’s. Zero chance of flex. I can’t believe how quiet my jeep is inside now. The tire carrier is adjustable and I was able to tuck the tire back into the body which wasn’t happening with the factory mount. So much better than the factory system. I would recommend this anyone who has tailgate issues due to larger wheels or tires that can’t justify or wait for a bumper

Excellent solution to Jeep's janky spare tire mounting.

Heavy duty and solid, looks great well worth the money

Ordered this on the website and received an E-mail shortly after from customer support, advising it was out of stock and backordered by the vendor. I called the 1-800 number for customer support and spoke with Ed, who was really helpful. He updated the information in the system that I provided and was nice on the phone. A few days later, I received a follow up E-mail from Lorraine with customer support, who told me she would get an ETA from the vendor for the ship date. I received the product from the vendor directly within two weeks of placing my order on Quadratec's site. Good experience with customer service! I am also very happy with the tire carrier, great upgrade at a good price.

Ready happy with the strength and looks on my Jeep. It took about 90 minutes by myself to do. A good bit of that time was ensuring that the door was properly secured before I removed the hinges.

So far so good. I have had this on for about 3 weeks now. No rattles at all. Is very sturdy. Was relatively easy to put on. I did it by myself but I am an ex mechanic. Used all hand tools. Took about 2 hours. I put on the whole kit. Looks great too!!

Good quality product but be warned if u are running a CB the antenna atleast for me had to be taken out and run back thru once mounted and also had to flip my location of the cb antenna. Major inconvenience when I found this out in the middle of having both hinges removed and now I cant open the tailgate. Turned a 2hr project into 4. But super heavy and durable piece good stuff.

Made a huge difference to my jeep. I knew the stock hinges were weak but I never realized how much my 35" spare tire was bouncing around back there. Jeep rides quieter and smoother now.

Great product and extremely well made. Feels like I could carry an elephant back there now. Don't risk ruining your tailgate with a heavy spare tire.
