The Rugged Ridge Tire Carrier Delete Plate is designed for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models and removes the factory spare tire carrier for a cleaner, more purposeful tailgate appearance. By eliminating the carrier, this plate can help reduce rear weight, improve rear visibility, and provide additional clearance for improved departure angles during off-road driving. It is also a practical solution for Jeep owners running oversized tires that are not suitable for conventional factory mounting.
Constructed from durable stamped steel plate, the Rugged Ridge RUG11586.10 is precisely drilled to align with the Wrangler JK tailgate for a straightforward installation and factory-quality fit. A black textured powder coat helps protect the surface from corrosion while complementing the Jeep’s rugged exterior. Seven pressed vent louvers provide functional styling, while the integrated cutout logo adds a distinctive aftermarket appearance without excessive visual bulk.
The Tire Carrier Delete Plate is ideal for custom Jeep builds, trail-focused vehicles, and street-driven Wranglers that no longer use the original spare tire carrier. For a complete tailgate update, Rugged Ridge also offers a kit that combines the delete plate with a low-profile license plate bracket and a high-mount brake light relocation bracket. This product is intended for compatible 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK applications and is finished in black for a durable, coordinated look.
