Rugged Ridge (11546.50): HD Tire Carrier Kit for 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler JK

The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier System provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting your oversized wheel and tire; it is functionally designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions. The precision die-cast aluminum hinge casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel. The one-piece design maintains one-handed access to cargo and rigidly links the wheel mount to the reinforced section of the rear quarter panel. In combination with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, this results in superior load capacity over factory tailgate hinges, reducing wear and increasing longevity. The wheel mount lifts the mounting position and incorporates depth and tilt adjustability for large diameter and wide tire options. Tested to MIL-STD-810 to simulate extended duration of vigorous off-road driving conditions. Rated for up to and including 37” wheel tire combinations. Includes adjustable third brake light bracket. Compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers. No drilling required.

First up, DEI’s Jeep Header Wrap Kit, is designed to prevent plug wire and boot melting when installing shorty headers on your 2007–2011 Jeep JK V6. The kit has everything you need for a typical set of shorty headers:

  • Two 25’ rolls of Titanium Exhaust Wrap
  • Eight 9” stainless positive locking ties
  • Four 14” stainless positive locking ties
  • Six 8” Titanium Spark Plug Boots

The American-made components withstand temperatures up to 1,350 degrees and resist many hazards of the engine bay, including solvents, oils, fuel, acids, and chemical spills.

Next are two new thicknesses for DEI’s Boom Mat, which dampens sound on the most extreme commercial and sound-competition applications. The new 2mm (33% thicker) and 4mm (166% thicker) versions combine aluminum-stiffened top skins with asphalt-free, pure-butyl, noise-constraining layers to control noise generated by vibrating interior panels—including in the most high-temperature situations.
