This tire holder is GREAT, everything fits together.

OK, but not perfect.

It's ok - I like working with one hand and overall the design is good. However, as is common with many Rugged Ridge products, there are small details that keep it from being a 5* product.

Tip threads are compatible with factory nuts (this is an issue with some other Jeep trunk options). It is very durable. Pretty easy to set up…

  • OFF-ROAD ACCESSORIES: Get serious off-road with a variety of tow hooks, hitches and kits to help you get out of tight situations. We offer winches, rescue tools, chimney doors, transom sets and other accessories.

The build quality of the bumper is terrible. When I finally got one of the .

Well, apparently Rugged Ridge doesn't have any engineers. I regret installing this. Background :: My Jeep was bought used. Aftermarket XHD bumpers were already installed. It also came with 35-inch tires, which I think ruined the tailgate. This bracket was a natural fit as it had to match the bumpers. In theory. I'm telling you I will never buy their products again. never. Issues: 1. XHD bumpers had issues with misaligned bolt holes. Some of the screws just wouldn't go in. The build quality of…
