Description

The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier System provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting your oversized wheel and tire. Functionally designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions. The precision die-cast aluminum Hinge Casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel. The one-piece design maintains one-handed access to cargo area and rigidly links the Wheel Mount to the reinforced section of the rear quarter panel. This, in combination with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, results in far superior load capacity than the factory tailgate hinges, thereby effectively reducing wear and increasing longevity. The Wheel Mount lifts the mounting position and incorporates depth and tilt adjustability for large diameter and wide tire options. Tested to MIL-STD-810 to simulate extended duration of vigorous off- road driving conditions. Rated for up to and including 37" wheel tire combinations. Includes adjustable third brake light bracket. Compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers. No drilling required. Patent Pending.

    • Sturdy and Easy Installation
Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
Overall install took me just over an hour. Only need a few sockets, and a 10 and 19mm wrench. I wanted to replace my hinges before my gate started sagging from my 35 on the back. This one is very nice looking at immediately I could tell the difference. The lug plate is adjustable so you are able to have the spare tire as tight as possible against the jeep to eliminate it rattling. One nice thing I did not know is that the hinges are tight enough that they will hold the gate open! Im used to catching the gate with my hip while taking things out of the back but no longer!! It also came with longer wires to extend the stock break light (didn't get that today) but this kit truly does come with everything you need. Overall a bit expensive, but ultimately a must if you run oversized tires. Easy to install with basic hand tools. ... show more

    • Amazing!!
Review Image by Kelsie Jordan Kelsie Jordan
I have 285/75r18 tires and had purchased a temporary fix type product to use until I found the right reinforcement kit. After a few weeks the temporary fix was so shaky when driving and just moved around too much (even after making sure everything was tight). It made me so nervous to drive and only able to take my Jeep out 4x4 twice because I was nervous. I found this reinforcement kit and saw all the great reviews, originally found it on a different website and it cost $600+ for the entire kit! What?! So I came on here and found it for this incredible price! It came with all the pieces, screws, bolts and easy to understand directions! My dad and I hooked it up in just a few hours, for once we weren’t running to ace hardware every few steps! It’s so sturdy and no more clunking noises! I feel so much better when I drive. I love this thing and you can’t beat Amazon’s price! ... show more

    • Great prodcut
Went to 35's and needed to beef up the hinge to avoid door sag. Sturdy and well built. Easy to install, looks great!

    • Heavy duty
Great tire carrier upgrade. Super strong. A bit of a pain to line up correctly. Also biggest knock is that it doesn’t exactly cover the outline of the original carrier from Jeep, so you have some small exposed spots where there is no paint. That’s the one unfortunate part here, otherwise it’s exactly what you need for an upgraded tire carrier. Running 35s. ... show more

Once I upgraded to 35s my stock tire carrier was not holding up well to the extra weight. This one looked great and seemed very sturdy and I was right. Installation was very easy and there are several YouTube videos on how to put this on. Installed this by myself in about an hour. My spare tire does not budge no matter how hard I hit a bump. No damages from shipping and all parts were in the box. Instructions are good and easy to follow. This came with the 3rd brake light extender but I didn't put it on cause I wanted to wire it into the spare tire lights. You will need some lock right for a few of the bolts and you will need some wood scraps to act as shivs that will hold the tailgate in place once you disconnect it from the Jeep. Great fit on 2015 Jeep Rubicon! ... show more

    • A must have if you have bigger tires
This is a must have if you have bigger tires for your jeep JK. It did have some missing bolts, but I called customer service and they got them out to me. It is not that hard of an install and plenty of online videos. It is not a one man job, also took less than an hour to install.

    • Excellent Tire Carrier
If you’re looking for a heavy duty tire carrier get this one you won’t be disappointed. Instructions are easy to follow and the install isn’t very difficult either. I would highly recommend this product.

Took me about 2 1/4 hours to install, plus another 1/2 hour to add extra wire extension for rear brake light and adjust the height of the light. No problem with parts fitting together. When it came time to install the four bolts between the edge of the hinge and the tire carrier I was flabbergasted to look into the bolt hole and see that the hole in the hinge was NOT aligned with the threads in the door. However, I was greatly relieved when I went ahead and tried to put the bolt in, and found that the threads in the door are on a plate (top two on one plate, bottom two on another) that kinda wiggled. Turned out there was no problem getting the bolt into the threads. At the points where the instructions said to completely tighten each bolt, I tightened them enough to stay in place, but not fully. Then, when it was all done, I removed the bolts that went into the jeep (only two at a time - very important!), applied red thread lock, and then tightened them fully. I used red thread lock because I don't believe I'll ever take this off. If that concerns you, use blue. I should note that I am very good at reading and interpreting instructions, though there wasn't much to interpret. The only part was jumping from the hinge instructions to the tire carrier instructions. If installing both, there are steps in the tire carrier instructions that you need to skip. The hinge kit and tire carrier come in their own boxes, and each have a pair of spacers to put behind the tire carrier. You will use only one pair. After it was installed, I ran the wire for the brake light behind the tire carrier (because I'd cut the plug off to add the included wire, this could be done). Then I put a piece of wire across the brake light extension just to keep the wire from rubbing on the tire. (I would have preferred a bolt, but didn't have one long enough.) See pictures. Haven't had a chance to take it on the road yet, but it appears very sturdy and certainly much stronger than the original hinges and tire carrier. ... show more
