The Teraflex Heavy Duty Hinged Tire Carrier is designed to accommodate up to a 37” tire. The TeraFlex Alpha Heavy-Duty Hinged Spare Tire Carrier and Alpha Heavy-Duty Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit will secure your spare tire over the most extreme trails and rugged terrain. This hinged spare tire carrier offers easy access to the rear cargo area in one smooth action. Using the factory tailgate hinge mounting points, you will be able to spread the load of the spare tire over a larger area for maximum strength and durability. For even more functionality added to your Jeep Wrangler JK, the Alpha tire carrier also provides additional mounting points for off-road accessories such as a recovery jack and fluid containers.

This tire carrier is made to be as light and as strong as possible, while its design, fit, and finish complements your Jeep Wranlger JK's body shape. Internal gussets and bracing in the stock Wrangler body support the Alpha tire carrier and oversized tire. The heavy-Duty forged steel brackets and 5/8” hinge pins constructed from fold formed high-carbon hardened steel combined with the factory mounting locations ensure you are getting the strongest rattle-free tire carrier available. With this Heavy-Duty reinforcement carrier supporting the weight of the tailgate assembly and spare tire, the Alpha tire carrier removes all stress from the tailgate.

An awesome, heavy duty hinge setup! I don't have to worry about adding too much weight on the tailgate now. I have a tailgate table and will be going to 35's for the next set of tires. The only reason I docked one star is because of the price (I purchased the tire mount as well), and the fact that the tailgate doesn't quite open as far as it used to - it only opens to 90 degrees instead of a few inches past that. Also, it was a super easy install!

I installed this over two years ago, and it is holding up beautifully. I've had various configurations mounted to it and it feels as solid as ever.

Awesome Well Built Carrier 4 years ago

After moving up to 37’s I needed a new spare tire hinge and carrier. Since I take my German Shepherd with me a lot, my biggest requirement was it had to open with the tailgate and open easily. I decided to spend a little more and I am definitely glad I did. It was a breeze to install and works perfectly. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a new spare tire and hinge.

Teraflex Heavy Duty Hinged Tire Carrier w/33's 4 years ago

5out of 5stars

Ed Bartles
I guess my 33in tires are just heavy enough over stock that they would break the stock tailgate stop. After replacing the factory stop a couple of times, finally decided to spring for the Teraflex Heavy Duty Hinged Tire Carrier. My 17 year old son took lead on installing it. I had him watch the Tereaflex video for the install on Youtube. The install went just like the video and want to say it took us about an hour. Anyway, super happy with it, even though it seemed a little expensive. I guess you get what you pay for though.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: Brake light Jake5 years ago
Will this carrier work with the stock third brake light?
- 2 of 2 people found the following answer helpful
  A: You can use the stock tire carrier with the stock third brake light on it with this Heavy Duty Hinge. If you also get the Teraflex Adjustable Tire Mount, p/n 4838130, it comes with a bracket that lets you use just the light from the stock 3rd brake light with it.
