Review on 🚗 Rugged Ridge Heavy Duty Spare Tire Carrier Mount for Jeep Wrangler YJ/TJ (87-06) by Phillip Reed

This bracket fits perfectly by almost all standards. As others have pointed out this is a 2 piece which could very easily be a 1 piece. I have a feeling this will make it weaker in the long run, but I really don't expect it to be detrimental to the design. The other criticism I have is that the tire is a few inches back from the tailgate compared to the factory mount, so the rubber bumpers no longer touch the tire. Again, I don't think it will matter in the long run, but for now I'll be taking another user's advice to try hockey pucks to fill that gap, just to make it more convenient and safer. Again, both criticisms are extremely sensitive, so it's still a 5/5 for that reason, especially at this price point, and the fact that it has mounting holes for an extra brake light is pretty cool.
