Hello everyone. I can’t say enough about this spare tire mount from TeraFlex. Not only is it super high-quality aluminum, but it looks cool too, however no one’s ever gonna really see it with the tire mounted on it. Also the positioning of the third brake light is awesome and so well thought out. My only grip is the mount itself should be aluminum and not plastic. However, there is some very important information if you have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE or newer and are replacing the OEM spare tire mount to fit a larger rim and tire. I did not see or find any of this information disclosed in all the videos and instructions that I reviewed prior to me installing the TeraFlex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit (https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/tire-carriers/4838910-teraflex-alpha-hd-adj-spare-mounting-kit-5x5-wheels). First, when you’re disconnecting the camera from the OEM mount, there is a flat bracket that is sticks to the inside of the actual OEM tire mount. You must use a hammer and screw driver and pound the stud holes out on the OEM bracket. Doesn’t have to be very hard but consistent and the bracket will break free from the inside of the OEM mount, releasing the camera. Second, very, very important is the pedestrian speaker. All 2024 and newer 4XE’s have a pedestrian speaker mounted to the inside of the OEM tire mount. None of this was disclosed in any video or the instructions. Teraflex makes an OEM bracket for the pedestrian speaker (https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/tire-carriers/4838290-teraflex-alpha-speaker-bracket-kit). I ordered it From Northridge; it looks very simplistic to install. Northridge4x4 did not know about this on the 4xe’s, at least the sales rep that I spoke to. Third. When disconnecting the third brake light and the pedestrian speaker wires, mark them!! Do not mix them up because the plastic connector is the exact same on both. I somehow got them reversed which caused the third brake light and the rearview camera to stop functioning, including the pedestrian speaker. Took me a good hour or more to figure out I swapped the two cables. Fourth note, if you have a steel bumper, make sure you use the tire studs in the top hole of the TeraFlex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount. I’m running Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T 35 x 12.5 x 17 and from watching all the videos and reading the Teraflex instructions, the 35 inch should fit with the mounting studs in the middle hole. Not so much! You must use the top holes to mount your studs. Now maybe that’s because the Mickey Thompson M/T’s have a deeper/more tread. I am not sure and maybe someone can shed some light. Just four notes when installing TeraFlex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting. Just follow the directions especially when measuring the offset. I’m only running a 35-inch tire on a Black Rhino Arsenal 17x8 inch rim that’s about 80 pounds, so I elected to send back the TeraFlex Alpha HD Hinged Spare Tire Carrier. That tire Carrier weighs an additional 40 pounds by itself. Since I’m not doing any radical off-Road exploring and from what I’ve read in detail, it’s not needed on the newer JL’s that have the upgraded and reinforced tailgate from the factory. For the $740 price on the Teraflex hing gate, I felt I could invest that in something else for my rig. Hope this helps some people.

Probably one of the nicer and better thought out tire carriers systems out there. Provides ton of adjustability for different tires sizes and wheel offsets. I really like the quick release 3rd brake light, it makes doing 5 tire rotations much easier when working with the spare. It is also quiet, no rattling of the tailgate. I'm happy with this purchase!

I was very pleased with the quality while installing the Teraflex spare tire mount. It had great adjustability and felt very sturdy while hanging a very heavy 37x12.5 R17. Camera mounted up great with better vision then stock since I installed the KMC Grenada beadlock lock wheels with -35 offset.

Tire carrier fit great. Sturdy as heck. Was able to slide the wheel back towards the tailgate to make up for the 3.5 inch backspacing of my wheels. so the tire now touches the rubber bumpers. The adjustability of the carrier is great. Only problem I had was there was a bolt that was missing and loctite that was missing. Not a big deal as I found a bolt that worked.

The extreme backspacing of the non-xr 392 wheels (the ones which came with 33s) do NOT fit while wearing 37s. Even at the maximum adjustment outwards, the three bolts do not extend through the wheel holes for the nuts to get a bite on them. I haven tried it with smaller tires. It’s ridiculously heavy, if you care about weight. Made of steel which will rust if black finish gets chipped and it’s located in a moist or salty state. The proprietary Jeep wiring connector for third brake light cable is fragile and not designed to be disconnected and reconnected on the regular like a high cycle count connector. This, rotating the spare regularly will quickly destroy that connector. If I keep it, may add my own separate disconnect halfway down the wire, a more robust one, meant for frequent cycles. Safely leaving the fragile Jeep connector in place permanently.
