Overview
The Classic Rock Crawler Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier, part number S/B76651D, is a black rear bumper with a receiver hitch, D-ring mounts and an integrated tire carrier. It fits the 1987–1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ), 1997–2006 Wrangler (TJ) and 2004–2006 Wrangler (LJ).
The carrier is designed for vehicles with oversized tires. Original Jeep tailgates cannot support the weight of an oversized tire, especially off road, so this bumper-mounted carrier moves that load onto the frame-mounted bumper. The carrier holds tires up to 35 inch.
Key features
- Tire carrier mounted to the bumper rather than the tailgate
- Grease fitting on the carrier hinge to keep the mechanism moving smoothly
- Zinc under-coat with dual-stage durable powder coat
- Receiver hitch and D-ring mounts included
- Designed for heavy off-road use.
Carrier setup and upkeep
A bumper-mounted carrier changes how weight sits on the rear of the vehicle. The spare moves farther back and up, so it affects approach and departure angles and how the rear suspension responds. Carry only the tire you need, and keep it secured so it does not rattle or shift on rough terrain.
Grease the hinge through its fitting on a regular schedule, and wipe off road grit first so the grit is not pushed into the pivot. Check the carrier bolts and the hinge pins after rough trail use. Re-check tire clearance whenever the spare or tire size changes, since a larger tire can strike the bumper or body.
- Grease the hinge fitting regularly
- Recheck tire clearance after any size change
- Keep the spare secured while driving
- Inspect the hinge for play
- Check the hitch and D-ring mounts for tightness
