Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11546.61 Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ

High quality, very heavy duty, removing the old hinges and chasing the stock mount plates are kind of a hassle but the product itself is wonderful.

This has held up really well. I have a 33x12.5 r15 spare KO2 tire mounted to it. Much more stable than stock and the rear hatch swings much smoother. Would buy again.

Much beefier than factory mount and super easy to install

Ok

Very solid!!!! Breeze to install. Highly recommend!!!

Great product, good guide on how to install it on the Jeep, the back door feels way better after its in

Great for big spares! The description is misleading. You CAN your stock carrier with the hinges ONLY if you use a stock size spare. If putting larger than stock on your tailgate, then you need the optional carrier. Only bad part is getting the old hinges out. M

It was relatively simple enough to remove the OE hinges and pop this guy on, so long as your not killing time looking for the right tools/sizes. But fit perfectly on my 2005 TJ. Even stiffened up the tailgate, being spring loaded, which was a beautiful surprise.

If you have big tires this is the one! Very easy install and the gate never worked better.

Much better than factory hinges. Drastic improvement of movement. I still hear some movement from the inner body where the brace is located.
