This is the hand Tig welded Aluminim version of the GenRight Swing Down Rear tire carrier for the Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ Unlimited. We have used this style tire carrier on many of the GenRight Jeeps for years. We call it the Boulder Series Tire Carrier. We improved on an old design by adding additional tubes in key areas of the carrier cage to stiffen it. Then, we designed a New innovative mounting system to securely hold almost any tire and wheel combination from 33 inches to 42 inches! In line with our other high quality products that allow you to keep your Rear seat (or Rear cargo area), this tube style tire carrier is made with Heavy Duty 1.5 inch diameter x .188 inch wall Aluminum tubing. The result is a cutting edge tire carrier fits tight to the Rear of the vehicle (only sticks back 15.5 inches off the tailgate) for the best possible departure angle. This is also a great rattle free way to hold a 33 inch to 42 inch spare tire that Will Not rip apart the back of your Jeep! Combine that with easy access by one person to change up to a 42 inch tire and you have a perfect choice for a trail rig with Big tires.

- 1/4 inch thick internal brackets that tie the upper carrier mounts into the Rear cage mounts on the inside of the body (in case you are Not running corner guards)
