TeraFlex4838130 JK JKU HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit

High quality and was the exact solution to my spare tire issue. I have 34" tires on Fuel Beast wheels. The wheels are offset and stick out an inch or two. The tire/wheel was two large for the stock tire mount and would hit the bumper. I tried the Smity Built relocation bracket which raised the tire height but also made my spare stick out 3 inches. My wheels being offset in addition to the additional 3 inches made the wheel stick out really far and look dumb! This mount being adjustable allowed me to fit my spare up and in tight to my tailgate! It wasn't hard to mount myself. It is really high quality and is a great option if you don't want to spend the cash for a new bumper with the oversized wheel mount. I did also bought and installed the brake light extension which works great, but the brake light mount is not as rigid as the OEM and will flex when hitting bumps.

Had to order this after ordering the Teraflex HD tire carrier. My aftermarket tire carrier would not work. This one works perfect, but...... I had to buy one more lugnut 1/2x20 to lock my 37" wheel tight on it. I could here a little wiggle in there.. The kit comes with three Press in lugs, but only 2 lugnuts?? why not include 3 in the kit. other than that, i am very happy. Took a rough wheeling trip, and I never hit the tire on anything (3.5" lift with 37" tires). Does what it says.

Work as advertised and is a high quality product. A+

Mount provides excellent versatility to position tire height a snugness. However to install bolts propoerly requires a hydraulic press. The weight of my car and a jaxk was not enough. Pulling bolts through with a breaker bar worked but stretched the bolts, so they do not thread smoothly.

Exactly what i needed for my 35" spare!Easy install!

Added this after installation of the Teraflex hinge mount on my wife's 2012. Can you reuse the original tire mount with that? Yeah, you can, but the original is a flimsy thin piece of cast aluminum that doesn't get any stronger after you make the recommended cut to it. A 35" spare is HEAVY, and having that fail going down the highway could kill someone. This is the solution, and it works perfectly.

This is very easy to install and it is fully adjustable to fit your tire size. The only thing to note about installation is you will need to press the wheel mounting studs into the bracket per your tire size.Con: With the aftermarket wheel I have the 3rd brake light bracket won't work. I fabricated a new mount for my 3rd brake light that worked out just fine.

They make this install sound so easy. Look, it’s not bad, but I was expecting…easy as described. I had to replace my factory holder because the threads stripped and you can’t replace the stud bolts on the factory holder. So, I expected this TeraFlex holder to have the ability to replace the studs (if needed) - no way! They don’t press into place and have a locking pattern, they literally press into place - you can never replace them! Btw: you kind of need a small press (one of the not so easy things). I have the factory Rubicon 31/32” tires. The bottom or lowest setting is fine but please note you need to trim/cut your factory tire stoppers or the tire won’t rest properly - no install video I saw/found mentioned it. If you don’t trim them, the center round slider won’t go deep enough and would be dangerous (the second, not so easy). If you didn’t really notice there is no break light in most of the pictures. This is because it does not come with one. They expect you to modify the factory break light and install it within the rim of the tire - ugly! Good thing I had already purchased one of those round brake lights that go begging the tire. Last thing, small but for the price I expected it. They call for thread locker but they do not supply the small amount needed. I unfortunately didn’t have any laying around so I’ll probably need to pull stuff back off - argh!
