Mopar82215356AB Jeep Wrangler Oversized Spare Tire Carrier Tailgate Reinforcement

Just as intended, easy to install.

I know Mopar accessories are always very expensive but I will say, the fit and finish is phenomenal. Easy to install and strong but lightweight.

I installed an oversized wheel and tire on my tailgate and had a lot of rattling issues. This bracket solved all my problems and took probably a half hour to install. I highly recommend this product!

This is based on my experience only. The install was super easy. Mopar’ s instructions were simple and came with pictures. Very nice! It does appear to add support to already hinges that remain in place.Pros: It’s OEM and Mopar made it simple to install (I installed it with the Mopar tire mount for larger wheels & tires)Cons: The torque settings seem a bit over the top for the Allen Hex Head Bolts.The cardboards shims are too weak. (Recommend using paint stirring sticks see below)After I installed it, I had to go back and raise it with paint stirrer sticks under the gate to accommodate my 110-lb spare. (I’m running 18X10 Fuel Trophy wheels and Geolander 35s AT with a combined weight of 110-115)The write up and the descriptions indicate this will support such tire weight. In my case, I had it readjust the bracket afterwards. Not a big deal. Mopar includes cardboard shims.All in all, It works for now. Time will tell if it will stand up. The only other option is go with a hinge replacement setup like EVO has or, go with a bumper mount spare tire mount.

This is made for the Jeep by Jeep. Looks good and works even better.
