Tub-Mount Tire Carrier
Tub-Mount Tire Carrier for the TJ/LJ Jeep Wrangler; the strongest, no compromise design available to carry a spare tire on your Jeep. The MetalCloak TJ/LJ tub mount is made strong with 1.50 x .120 wall steel tube and strengthened with 3/16" steel plate.
Swing Out
Fully Adjustable Wheel Mount
This is an adjustable bracket piece that allows your custom backspaced wheel to mount securely onto the tub mount tire carrier.
Laser cut steel for a great fit and powder-coated for a clean, long lasting finish.
Oversized Tire? No Problem
The Tub-Mount Tire Carrier includes everything you need to mount an over-sized spare tire securely on your TJ/LJ Wrangler.
The Delrin Bushings
The Delrin ™ Bushing is made with black round bar Delrin. The Delrin two part bushing is comprised of two pieces that screw together making this bushing simple to install without a press. The Delrin bushing is strong and rigid providing a high resistance to repeated impacts, long-term fatigue endurance, and has excellent resistance to moisture.
Removable Pins
Comes with quick release T-Handle lock pins that hold the tire carrier securely and have a push button attachment and release.
Swing Out Stop Pin
The swing out utilizes a simple Stop Pin that may be put in two different positions keeping from swinging open too far or closing inadvertently. Stop the swing out at 90 degree or 180 degree from gate.
Accessories Mount
Two locations allow you to mount RotoPax or like style (1 - 2 Gallon) containers along with a Hi-lift Jack or shovel to the back of your Jeep TJ or LJ. Accessories attach behind the spare tire to keep them out of sight and provide additional protection from hazards.

- Best tire carrier I've ever had....no jokeI've had a number of tire carriers on my Wrangler...every single one rattled. This MetalCloak one is by far the most rugged and durable TJ tire carrier I've ever seen. Had it on now for almost 6 months, not a single peep of noise from this thing, while still being able to be opened super easily. I like that you can adjust how far you'd like the swing out to be, as well as the configurable mounts for accessories. Good job MetalCloak, this one deserves an award. Your fellow TJ Owners thank you! haha

- GOT A YJ? IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!Installed this on my 1992 YJ without any issues. Three things to note. 1. You still need corner guards to mount this. 2. License plate needs to be relocated. 3. On the YJ the gas filler plastic bracket needs a bit of trimming in order to fit the Metalcloak bottom tire carrier bracket; you could trim the steel bracket from MetalCloak for a "cleaner" look but I found it easier to trim the plastic and it saved me from painting over powder coat. Amazing Products. Amazing Company.

- Very overbuilt!This thing is so heavy duty it’s ridiculous. The installation wasn’t bad at all and the end result is awesome. I’ve gone through several aftermarket tire carriers including one I fabricated myself over the 16 years I’ve owned my Jeep and I’ve finally landed on the one that will stay with me for good. I absolutely love the design and functionality of it, not to mention the fact that it looks really cool. Great tire carrier guys...love it.
