YJ Boulder Series Rear Tire Carrier - Steel

This is the Steel version of the GenRight "Swing Down" rear tire carrier that we have used on many of the GenRight Jeeps for years. We call it the Boulder Series Tire Carrier.

We improved on an old design by adding additional tubes in key areas of the carrier "cage" to stiffen it. Then, we designed a new innovative mounting system to securely hold almost any tire & wheel combination from 33" to 42"!

In line with our other high quality products that allow you to keep your rear seat (or rear cargo area), this tube style tire carrier is made with Heavy Duty 1-1/2" diameter x .120" wall steel tubing. The result is a cutting edge tire carrier fits tight to the rear of the vehicle (only sticks back 15-1/2" off the tailgate!) for the best possible departure angle.
 
This is also a great rattle free way to hold a 33” to 42" spare tire that will not rip apart the back of your Jeep! Combine that with easy access by one person to change up to a 42" tire and you have a perfect choice for a trail rig with big tires.

This Rear Carrier includes:

• 1/4" thick internal gussets that tie the upper carrier to the rear cage mounts (specific to each model Jeep).
• (2) Lower pivot mounting brackets that can be welded to any bumper (no welding required if you purchase the optional rear cross member mounting plate) or get our high clearance bumper plate.
• A beefy "T" Handle with a heavy duty ACME thread to hold the tire/wheel into the carrier "cage" for long term durability.
• A "fish" wire is pre-run through the carrier frame for a license plate and 3rd brake light(s).
• Greasable urethane bushings isolate each of the 4 mounting points to eliminate rattles!
• All necessary Grade 8 mounting hardware.
• All the mounting brackets provided work from 0" up to 1.5" of adjustment to accommodate body lifts.

Other FEATURES:

• The carrier cage is 100% MIG welded (as pictured) in a jig!
