AEV RX TIRE CARRIER KIT

The RX Tire Carrier is very similar to the proven design of our Tire Carrier for the JK Wrangler, taking all the stress and weight from your oversized spare wheel and tire OFF the tailgate and on to the frame of the vehicle. This not only offers a more secure mounting solution but will eliminate the risk of damaging your tailgate by overloading it, while still maintaining a one-handed operation. Many of the other signature features from our previous generation Tire Carrier also carry-over, such as mounting provisions on the top of the mast for a reverse/chase light and antennas, as well as a shovel holder behind your spare tire. Additionally, a relocation kit for the OE rear camera and a newly designed CHMSL (3rd brake light) are both included with this kit. The RX Tire Carrier will also accept an AEV Fuel Caddy, allowing you to carry an extra 10.2 gallons of fuel safely and securely, behind your spare tire (sold separately) and will carry up to a 40” tall tire or a 37” tall tire, when used with the optional Fuel Caddy. Note: AEV’s RX Tire Carrier will only work with AEV’s Rear Bumper and is not compatible with the OE rear bumper.    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)   Q: What size spare tires can it support? A: The AEV RX Tire Carrier is engineered to support up to a 40-inch spare tire securely and with minimal stress on the tailgate. Q: Does this tire carrier require drilling or permanent modifications? A: No. The RX Tire Carrier is a bolt-on system that utilizes existing mounting points for installation—no drilling, cutting, or welding required. Q: What makes this tire carrier different from hinge reinforcement brackets? A: Unlike hinge-only reinforcements, the RX Tire Carrier is a full carrier system that supports the weight of larger tires across the tailgate and body structure, minimizing long-term wear and improving strength. Q: Does it include provisions for mounting accessories like fuel cans or trail gear? A: The RX system includes accessory mounting provisions compatible with AEV’s rear bumper accessories, including the Fuel Caddy and Hi-Lift jack mount (sold separately).
