New Spartacus HD Tire Carrier from Rugged Ridge
Rugged Ridge
Rugged Ridge®, a leading manufacturer of high-quality Jeep®, truck and off-road parts and accessories, today announced its new Spartacus Heavy Duty Tire Carrier for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models.
The Rugged Ridge Spartacus Heavy Duty Tire Carrier is designed to enable Jeep owners to carry up to a 37-inch tire image003.pngwithout the added expense of purchasing an aftermarket bumper. The sturdy aluminum tire carrier casting eliminates the factory TJ tailgate hinges entirely, replacing them with a substantially stronger hinge assembly capable of supporting the weight of oversized off-road tires while maintaining the factory mounting points.
Each Spartacus Heavy Duty Tire Carrier consists of a cast aluminum hinge fitted with hardened steel hinge pins for smooth, one-handed tailgate operation and finished with a durable black textured powder coat for lasting good looks. The spare tire mounts to a rugged steel wheel mount that bolts to the TJ tailgate in the factory location and relocates the factory third brake light for added safety.
“There are a number of tire carriers on the market today but they often leave a lot to be desired”, said Patrick Bennett, Product Development Manager at Omix-ADA / Rugged Ridge. “We engineered this new heavy Duty Tire Carrier to allow Jeep owners the ability to operate the tire carrier and tailgate simultaneously, while also minimizing wear on the tailgate and hinges.”
The Rugged Ridge Spartacus Heavy Duty Tire Carrier is backed by an industry-leading five-year limited warranty and is available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts & accessories retailers nationwide with an MSRP starting at $466.99.
