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.

    • Tough to open but does the job
I installed this about 3 months ago. Installation was relatively straightforward. I had my 17 yo son do most of the install since I want him to learn to wrench on cars. I read the instructions and watched some YouTube videos so we didn't have any problems. My 2016 JKUR has 35" Nitto Terra Grappler tires and Armory wheels. They are heavy. I had them on the stock tire carrier with an extension. I was concerned the tailgate might sag over time especially when bouncing over rough trails. This product was bought to reinforce the hinge. It does the job but the hinge is tight and the tailgate is harder to open now. I saturated the hinge with lithium white grease but no help. My wife can't open it but most other people can. The 3rd brake light extension barely clears my 35" tires. It needs to be another inch or two higher. The tire holder needs a 1/2" or larger hole in the center. I mount my back-up camera in the center of the spare wheel hub and run the cables through the center of the hub to the wiring harness in the tailgate. I can't do that with this carrier since there is no hole. I thought about drilling my own hole but drilling a 1/2" dia hole though a piece of steel this thick would be a real chore. Also, I didn't have a 1/2" cobalt drill bit. I am designing an extension for the 3rd brake light and the back-up camera. I will 3D print it. I want a better quality back-up camera anyway. ... show more

Review Image by Heather
This carrier is super sturdy, but it was a beast to install. Instructions are mostly clear, but if installing both the hinge bracket and tire carrier the instructions refer to one another which can become confusing. All necessary hardware was included. This thing is HEAVY and no amount of shimming will keep your tailgate in the proper position the first time. This carrier took us about 2ish hours to install because we had to adjust it several times. Drill the hinges in, adjust. Attach the tire carrier, adjust, tighten hinge bolts. Open tailgate, adjust, tighten hinge bolts. Install spare tire, adjust, tighten hinge bolts. Open tailgate with spare tire attached, adjust, tighten hinge bolts. We adjusted and tightened and adjusted and tightened and there’s still a super minor sag with my tailgate, but for a couple of amateurs I’m OK with that. There is zero thumping or rattling coming from this carrier and it feels very secure. Just plan some time, patience and muscle when installing. ... show more

    • I should note that I am very good at reading and interpreting instructions

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

    • Sturdy and Easy Installation
Review Image by 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

    • Sturdy and easy to install!
This item came well packaged and in record time. The instructions were not the best. However there are videos on YouTube showing everything you need to know and do. The hinges and mount are very sturdy!
