The Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting is engineered to provide the strength and stability required for mounting an oversized wheel and tire on your 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Designed for demanding off-road use, this hinge casting manages the increased forces and vibrations created by larger wheel and tire assemblies while helping reinforce the rear quarter panel and tailgate mounting area. Its precision die-cast aluminum construction delivers high strength with less weight than comparable steel components.
The one-piece hinge casting rigidly connects the tire carrier wheel mount to the reinforced section of the rear quarter panel while maintaining convenient one-handed access to the cargo area. Forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins provide greater load capacity than factory tailgate hinges, helping reduce wear and support long-term durability. The Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting is compatible with original equipment and most aftermarket rear bumpers, and installation requires no drilling.
For a complete tire carrier system, pair this Rugged Ridge part number 11546.51 hinge casting with the recommended Spartacus HD Wheel Mount, part number 11546.52, for wheel and tire assemblies up to 37 inches. This heavy-duty upgrade is an effective solution for Jeep owners who need improved tailgate support, dependable tire carrier performance, and enhanced adjustability for oversized off-road tires.
