I had to replace mine due to the owner before me didn't keep the T handle greased so it broke and could not fix so I replace it with same maker Smittybilt. It's easy to mount and it's solid. Do yourself a favor and put lots of grease on the T handle threads and loosen it and tighten it up to keep it in working order. There is no reason this should not last you your intire life. Hopely it's a long one. Hope this helps and stay safe on the trails.

This tire rack is very sturdy and appears to be made of quality steel. The finish is flawless, no doubt as a result of Smittybilt using higher quality packaging. The assembly and mounting are pretty straight forward. The included directions aren’t the best but are workable. I found a YouTube on it and it made it extremely easy. I read about others having difficulties finding a compatible padlock. I used a Master Lock 1 7/8 inch Magnum C M115XDLF which fit with no problems. It’s also black and rubber coated (see photo)
This tire rack is a great value and much stronger than the OEM

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product for its intended purpose
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
I purchased and installed this device while in between finding a more permanent bumper/tire carrier set up. For its designed purpose, it looks great, it works as designed and the install was fairly easy. The only reason I did not give 4 stars is not for the product itself but more so for the overall mounting method with it hanging onto the tailgate. Unless you get a different set up that removes the tire from the gate or has the means to distribute the tire weight more evenly off the gate and hinges, you're going to get some slight wobble, unless you mount it with the tire sitting right on the stock or aftermarket bumper to limit the movement. If you use your Jeep as a daily driver, then this wobble is manageable. But if you''re going off road, the wobble will be noticeable The only other drawback I found, and again, not that its this products fault, but there really is no way to lock it up besides using a generic pad lock that blocks the handle from spinning. Nothing to prevent an ambitious thief with bolt cutters from taking your $500 investment.

I have had this tire carrier for 12 months now and I like it a lot! I mounted a 315x70x17 tire on a stock Jeep rim and it fits perfect. It hasn't rusted, and the tailgate feels as sturdy as the day I installed it. For the money I would suggest it because it does its job well, you can put a lock on it so no one can walk off with a 500 dollar tire, and I go off road all the time and its still a solid set up! I would recommend this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars The “maximum rating of 195 lbs” as claimed by smittybilt was well over the weight of the tire and wheel I planned to put on it so I thought this would be a good bet. Wrong

I purchased this carrier to hold a 35” tire. The “maximum rating of 195 lbs” as claimed by smittybilt was well over the weight of the tire and wheel I planned to put on it so I thought this would be a good bet. Wrong. It is now out of warranty and it is causing spot welds on the inside of the tailgate to pop and warp due to the tire weight and anytime I hit road that is not 100% flat I get a 2-3 second bounce and wobble from the spare tire. Keep in mind everything is tight and no bolts are loose it is simply the tire carrier allowing the metal to weeken causing the bouncing. To top it off, I am looking for a solution to stiffen the entire assembly similar to teraflexes hinged system costing me sever hundred dollars extra. In my search I came across a similar product that smittybilt makes with a beefed up hinge and cross member but it DOESNT FIT THE OTHER SMITTYBILT CARRIER so I have to purchase the entire assembly instead of just the bing peice. Give me a break. Don’t buy this bs please

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mount, very sturdy.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2014

This tire mount is a must if you are running 35" or larger tires, the stock mount is really flimsy and I was getting a buckling sound over small bumps. Obviously, it's better to mount the tire carrier on the bumper, however this is a much more cost effective option. Newer JK gates are sturdier than the older ones so this mount works great for 35" tires.

Probably the cheapest plus sturdiest tire carrier out there. Easy to install.
One thing that wasnt possible was the license relocate if you were interested on it. What I did was went to walmart and bought some metal brackets and kind of custom made my own to clamp down to the Y-Bar.

Installation was pretty straight forward and easy to facilitate. I'd recommend a second person, however, I did it myself. The only thing the product lacks is a locking mechanism to make sure your spare doesn't get stolen. That being said, a few extra dollars spent on a lock and cable, that tire isn't going anywhere if its left in a public parking spot.

good tire carrier, accommodates a 35 inch spare. make sure the tire is tight against the uprights. added a piece of bicicle inner tube to the post that the tire sits on to keep it from scratching the hub.
