Pro Series Hinged Gate Tire Carrier

EVO MFG Pro Series Hinged Gate Tire Carrier for the Jeep Wrangler JK 2007–2018. Offered in 2 configurations: choose Powder Coat above.

Lift kits and larger tires have become the norm on the Jeep Wrangler JK, while the factory tire carrier and tailgate was never intended to handle the loads associated with these larger, heavier wheel and tire combinations. The EVO MFG JK Pro Series Hinged Gate Carrier is a body mounted tire carrier designed to allow you to carry up to a 40" tire while retaining your vehicle's one handed, easy access to the rear cargo area. Its design is tough enough to handle the stresses associated with larger tires and simple enough to keep all the functionality your factory tailgate already has in a simple easy to install and operate package. The EVO MFG Gate Carrier is engineered for strength and durability.

It's made from 3/16" steel that's been laser cut, CNC press brake formed, and fully fixture welded. In the factory configuration, the wheel and tire load is transferred through the tailgate to the hinges. Knowing that this is one of the weak links, the Gate Carrier is designed to bypass the tailgate and transfer the heavier wheel and tire load directly to the hinges. The hinge brackets are made from the same 3/16" steel and are gusseted for strength with integrated bump stops that stop the weight of tailgate and tire when it's fully opened.
