EVO TIRE CARRIER TJ LICENSE

The rear camera is enclosed in a fabricated capped tube that protects the camera when a larger rear tire is installed on the carrier. The Rusty’s JL tire carrier has provisions for the 3rd brake light as well as the rear camera. The new JL Wrangler has much cleaner lines as well as being equipped with a rear camera and a 3rd brake light. We also wanted the tire carrier to look as good as the vehicle on which it is mounted. The tailgate and the tire mount pivots in our 1/2-inch hinge on “Oilite” oil embedded bronze bearings. In the design process, we noticed flexing in the area around the rear door handle and our design eliminates this issue. We added 4 to the tailgate area to reinforce the area by the door handle. The new Rusty’s 3/16” and 1/4” steel fabricated tire carrier and tailgate mount is mounted to the tailgate with a total of 16 bolts.

We also added a reinforcement plate inside the body to strengthen the hinge mounting area. The new hinge design went from a 3-bolt to a 4-bolt design per hinge. This required a redesign of the carrier itself. The JL Wrangler is a completely new vehicle compared to its predecessor, the JK Wrangler. Unlike other Jeep models, the JL Wrangler has reinforcements where the tailgate mounts, so we decided to do a much stronger tailgate mount by making the tire carrier a part of the hinge assembly. We have never been a fan of bumper mounted tire carriers because most models rattle and sag over time, in some instances in as little as a few months. A woman with a child in her arms had to be able to open and close it with one hand and it had to be able to support up to a 42-inch tire. The Rusty's Carrier does work with the 2021's and later with the front & rear camera option.Īs we started doing the design work on the tire carrier for the new JL Wrangler, we knew we had to adhere to our same requirements that we used when designing the carrier for the TJ & LJ Wrangler as well as the JK Wrangler.
