Key features

  • Full-width tube steel construction
  • Thick powder coat finish

  • Carrier accepts 5 on 4.5-inch bolt pattern wheels
  • Carrier holds oversized tire and wheel combinations
  • Installs in the factory bumper mounting location with included hardware, no drilling or modification

Before installing a tire carrier

A rear tire carrier adds weight at the back of the vehicle, and that load goes straight into the bumper mounts and the frame. Before installing, inspect the mounting area for rust, cracks and previous repairs, because a solid mount is what keeps the carrier steady on rough trails.

Check the spare tire clearance with the rear door or tailgate in its open position. A carrier can block the license plate and lights, so plan where those will be relocated. Wheel size matters too: confirm the tire fits the carrier before the bumper is mounted, since an oversized tire can change swing clearance.

  • Check the mount area for rust before installation
  • Confirm tire clearance with the door open
  • Plan a new position for the plate and lights

Questions & Answers

Does the RT Off-Road RT20004 fit a TJ Wrangler?

Yes. It fits the 1998–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ in 65th Anniversary Edition, Rubicon, SE, Sahara, Sport and X trims. It is a steel upgrade over the factory plastic rear bumper. Verify your vehicle's year, model and trim match before buying.

What wheel bolt pattern does the carrier accept?

The carrier accepts wheels with a 5 on 4.5-inch bolt pattern, and it will hold oversized tire and wheel combinations. Check your wheel bolt pattern against that measurement before fitting a spare.

Does installation require drilling?

No. The bumper installs in the factory bumper mounting location using the included hardware, so drilling or modification is not needed. The receiver hitch is designed for recovery.

How often should I check the bumper and carrier mounts?

Inspect the mounts after the first few trail runs and then at regular intervals. Look for loose bolts, cracked welds and bent carrier arms, and tighten fasteners as needed. Heavy steel loads stress the mounting points, so early checks help prevent damage.
