🧾 Overview
The DV8 Offroad Spare Tire Delete for the Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU is designed to remove the factory spare tire assembly while retaining full use of the OEM backup camera. By eliminating the heavy spare from the tailgate, this delete provides a clean, streamlined rear appearance while improving departure angles for technical trails and rock crawling.
Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the spare tire delete replaces the factory tire mount and includes an integrated license plate mount with LED illumination using weatherproof crimps. Rubber plugs are included to cleanly fill the open holes left by the removal of factory spare tire isolators and wiring grommet, resulting in a finished, factory-like appearance.
Finished in a micro-texture black powder coat for durability and corrosion resistance, this spare tire delete offers a functional and aesthetic upgrade for Wrangler owners who prefer to relocate or eliminate their rear-mounted spare while retaining OEM utility.
