Motobilt introduces the Jeep JK and JKU 2007-2017 spare tire carrier.  This heavy duty tire carrier is a must have if you are running larger tires on your Jeep.  The stock setup is not equipped to handle the extra weight of a larger tire and wheel setup.  The new JK tire carrier was designed using cutting edge computer modeling software.  We laser cut, cnc form, and hand weld each unit to ensure it is perfect.  We also engineered it to install easily with basic hand tools.  Included are our provisions for our aftermarket high lift jack mount part number MB1085.
