Rugged Ridge (11546.56): Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting for ’18-’19 Jeep Wrangler JL

The Spartacus HD tire carrier hinge casting from Rugged Ridge provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting an oversized wheel and tire on your Jeep Wrangler JL. Designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions, the 11546.56 hinge casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel.

The one-piece application completely replaces your factory tailgate hinges, creating a structurally stable link between the tailgate and the body and resulting in smooth one-hand access to your JL’s rear cargo area. In combination with forged-steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, this design creates superior load capacity over the factory tailgate hinges to reduce long-term wear.

The patent-pending Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD tire carrier hinge casting is compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers and installs with no drilling required.

Rugged Ridge (11544.24): Spartacus Stubby Front Bumper for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL

The patented Spartacus stubby front bumper from Rugged Ridge takes its design cues from the original Spartacus but changes the game a bit with a narrower trail-conquering profile. The 11544.24 is tough, too, with a satin-black powdercoat atop 11-gauge stamped steel. The stamping process creates a bumper lighter than most aftermarket steel bumpers that is designed to be compatible with all popular winch models (via Rugged Ridge winch plate 11543.16, sold separately). Uses factory tow hooks.

Features

  • For 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU.
  • Narrower, trail-conquering profile.
  • Satin-black powdercoat.
  • 11-gauge stamped steel.
  • Compatible with all popular winch models.

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.
