The DV8 Offroad Spare Tire Carrier for Jeep JL (2018-2025) is a rugged, heavy-duty solution to move the weight of your spare tire off the stock tailgate hinges. Built to handle up to a 38″ tire (or wheel and tire combos within spec), it replaces the weak OEM bracket with a bolted frame that secures the load to the vehicle body—not the tailgate. 

Key Features & Benefits

• Transfers Weight Off the Tailgate — Takes the load off the JL’s cast tailgate and mounts the spare to the carrier bracket. 
• Cam Nut Adjustment — Allows for fine-tuning of fit and alignment. 
• Retains OEM Lighting & Camera — Keeps the third brake light and backup camera functionality (with possible extension bracket for some JL trims). 
• Bolt-On Installation — No drilling required; attaches via existing mounting points. 
• Heavy Steel Construction — 3.5 mm / 5 mm steel with micro-texture powder coat finish.
• Includes Antenna / Whip Mount — Useful for flag or radio mounting. 

Fitment & Capacity

• Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018–2025 (including 4xe & Rubicon 392 in many cases). 
• Supports up to a 38″ × 13.5″ tire and wheel combo. 
• Recommended wheel backspacing: 4″+; NOT compatible with wheels with –44 offset. 
• Will not work with Mopar On-Board Air Compressor option. ([turn0search1])
• JL Xtreme Recon and Rubicon X trims require DV8’s camera extension bracket to preserve rear camera alignment. 

Important Notes & Considerations

• The OEM tailgate bracket is considered the “weak link” in many builds; this carrier strengthens that area. 
• Use wheels with acceptable backspacing; offset and width must be within spec. 
• After installation, double-check hinge alignment and wiring for the brake light and camera. 
• If you carry very large tires, consider also upgrading hinge hardware or reinforcements.
