A cargo box that takes the place of the spare wheel on the tailgate of the 2018-on Wrangler JL and JLU.

Tailgate Cargo Box — Jeep Wrangler JL / JLU 2018+
A tailgate spare wheel occupies the most accessible space on the whole vehicle and holds nothing but itself. This box mounts in the same place — its carrier goes on instead of the wheel — and turns the tailgate into a lockable external locker for the gear that does not belong in the cabin.
The supplier lists the application as Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU from 2018.

Fitting and notes
The box uses a carrier fitted in place of the spare wheel, so once it is on you have to solve the question of where the spare travels — the supplier does not cover this. It also gives no box dimensions, no jerrycan capacity, no material and no permissible load for the tailgate hinges. The quoted 15 kg is the distributor's shipping weight, not the box's own weight.
The supplier notes that the lettering cut into the box may vary — worth confirming the graphic on your particular unit before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the spare wheel go once the box is fitted?
The supplier does not address it. The box carrier takes the wheel's place, so decide where you will carry the spare before fitting, not after.
Are the jerrycans included?
The supplier lists side jerrycans with drain valves and a shared filler as part of the box. It gives neither capacity nor intended content (fuel or water) — ask before buying.
Do the photos show this box?
The images attached to this listing show a different product — fender flares on a pickup. This description is based purely on the supplier's text, and the gallery needs correcting.
