Who needs this:

Motobilt introduces the Jeep JL 2018 + spare tire carrier for 8 on 6.5" wheel lug patterns. With many people now swapping in 1 ton axles into their Jeep we now offer this version of the tire carrier to use the popular 8 x 6.5" bolt pattern. It's a simple bolt-on solution that can be easily installed in a couple of hours, making it accessible to most Jeepers

Distinguishing Features:

Unlike many aftermarket carriers, the Motobilt JL Tire Carrier is constructed as one solid unit, eliminating the need for additional costly pieces. Bumper-mounted carriers often wear down quickly due to limited support, while other designs require complicated rod systems and constant adjustments. Our tire carrier offers the strength, simplicity, and reliability you need.

When should you use this? :

Use the Motobilt JL Tire Carrier when installing larger or heavier tire and wheel combinations, recommended for sizes up to 40 inches in diameter.

Considerations:

- Ships bare metal and requires painting or powder coating

- Factory tailgate catch must be removed

- Aftermarket tail light covers may interfere when fully opened

- High lift jacks do not fit the Jeep JL tire carrier accessory mounting holes as they may hit the tail light when fully opened.

Customer Testimonials:

Our satisfied customers run tire sizes up to 42" and hail from various locations, from Sand Hollow, Utah to Tokyo, Japan.
