🧾 Overview
The DV8 Offroad Tailgate Mounted Tire Carrier is a direct replacement upgrade for the factory spare tire mount, designed to handle larger and heavier wheel/tire setups on the Jeep Wrangler JL.
Unlike older Jeep designs, the JL has a reinforced tailgate—but once you move into larger tires, the factory mount becomes a weak point. This carrier replaces that mount with a stronger, adjustable system, allowing you to safely run up to a 35" tire without excessive stress on the tailgate or hinges.
It retains the factory tailgate function, meaning your spare opens with the tailgate just like stock, while also maintaining compatibility with the backup camera and third brake light.
This is a simple, effective upgrade for Jeep owners stepping into larger tires without going to a full bumper-mounted swing-out system.
✔ Reinforced tailgate-mounted spare tire system
✔ Supports up to ~35" tire and wheel combos
✔ Adjustable mounting for proper fitment
✔ Retains factory tailgate operation
✔ Works with backup camera and brake light
