Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (11546.51)

Fits 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JK Unlimited (2-door and 4-door models).

The Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting provides the essential structural reinforcement needed to carry oversized wheel and tire combinations. This heavy-duty hinge is precision-engineered to manage the increased leverage and vibration encountered during off-road use, preventing the tailgate fatigue and sagging common with factory hardware. The one-piece design maintains convenient one-handed access to the cargo area while rigidly linking the wheel mount to the reinforced rear quarter panel.

Constructed from precision die-cast aluminum, this hinge provides maximum strength without the weight penalty of solid steel. It features forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins for a load capacity that significantly exceeds OE specifications. For maximum performance and carrying capacity for up to 37-inch tires, pair this casting with the Spartacus HD Wheel Mount (P/N 11546.52).
