JK tire carrier
I just got back from the Rubicon after putting this on my JK. There aren’t words to describe how awesome and solid this thing is. I’m not know for my finesse, so the fact that this unit didn’t make a sound, or move a millimeter is a true testament to its quality. Thank you Genright.

Jk tire carrier
Haven’t even left the garage but my first impression is that this carrier is the real deal. Installation was not too challenging, but some effort was required to get the bushings into the carrier hinges. Not a big deal. Once it was all in, it feels like nothing I’ve seen before. I’m about to hit the Rubicon and will update this afterwards.

Spare
I love the look and the light weight. I traded 350lbs for about 35lbs!

Aluminum is the best
I absolutely love my Aluminum GR Swing out tire carrier. I am beyond impressed with the the amount of thought that went into this product, from the pre-drilled wiring hole for your 3rd brake light/license plate light to the stop lock; which has saved me several times off camber in Colorado. The quality of welds alone on this tire carrier make it worth the price to me, it’s a piece of art and once you’ve seen the GenRight quality you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

Awesome Fit and Rattle Free!
I love my GenRight tire carrier. Just got it painted and installed. It's a beast and has reduced my tailgate noise to nothing. I was referred to from a friend who has bought your products before. Glad I listened!

Tire Carrier
Honestly the best tire carrier I have purchased yet. My stock tire carrier was starting to rattle the tailgate due to my tire size which was driving me insane. Finally pulled the trigger on this tire carrier since it bolts on to the body, definitely worth every penny. I work for a construction company, and everyone that comes across my Jeep complements how well the welds were preformed. Perfect quality product and customer service.

Very Pleased
I just finished up installing the GenRight tire carrier and would like to let you know how pleased I am with the over all quality and fit. Installation was actually quite simple.

Huge improvement
After going back and forth on different tire carriers I decided to give Genright a chance and I was not disappointed. Super easy install and a great look. Have had it installed for almost 2 years now and have not had any issues whatsoever and love the look it gives to the Jeep.
