Jeep Wrangler JL Wheel Mounting - TXJL BTJ 19-02

The factory JL tailgate was designed around the original spare wheel. Put a 35 or a 37-inch wheel on it and the hinges and the gate itself start working in a way the factory never planned for — and sooner or later the panel gaps show it.

This steel EVO carrier takes that load. The wheel relocator is part of the same kit, so you do not have to source it separately, and the distributor states the upper limit outright: 37 inches maximum, because of wheel mass and safety.

Key benefits

• Complete with the wheel relocator — the distributor sells it as one kit, so the relocator is not a separate hunt.
• A stated 37-inch limit — rare in this category. You know what the carrier was designed around instead of guessing.
• Steel carrier plate — the product photo shows the pressed reinforcement ribs, the lightening cut-out and the EVO logo.
• Wheel adapter disc included — a separate five-hole part, clearly visible in the photo.
• Full hardware set — bolts, washers and nuts ship with the kit and are visible in the product photo.
• Black finish — consistent with the black hardware a Wrangler usually already carries.

Who it is for

For Wrangler JL owners who have moved up to bigger tyres and want to carry a full-size spare instead of a compromise. It suits vehicles that are actually used off-road, where the spare is insurance for the trip rather than decoration.

Fitting and notes

Wheel size: the distributor caps the carrier at 37 inches and explains the limit by wheel mass and safety — it is worth respecting that line regardless of what will physically bolt on.

The kit weighs 25 kg and consists of several parts that have to be aligned with the tailgate. If you would rather have it done once and properly, we run an off-road workshop and can fit the carrier for you.

The distributor provides a 6-month warranty on the paint finish. It does not cover mechanical or chemical damage to the coating, damage caused by the user, or natural wear of the paint (including UV exposure and hail).

Why it is worth it

• Carrier and relocator in one kit — fewer parts to chase.
• A concrete wheel-size limit instead of vague claims about strength.
• Steel construction meant for a full-size spare, not a space saver.
