Description
Heavy-Duty Tire Carrier. Adding oversized tires and a tire carrier to your Jeep Wrangler’s tailgate may cause it to sag. You can avoid such dilemma with this Smittybilt XRC Tailgate with Tire Carrier. This is designed to replace your existing tailgate while adding a built-in tire carrier which can support up to 37-inch tires. Using OE bolt configuration, this tailgate includes cast steel hinge points and hardened steel pin to eliminate any sagging problem.
Designed for Off-Road Enthusiasts. This Tailgate with Tire Carrier is designed for off-road adventure enthusiasts in mind. It features steps with stainless steel badging for easy and safe access to the roof. It also includes integrated tie-down points. This tailgate is also designed with integrated seal that replaces factory vent. The weather seals will keep your tailgate protected against the element. The integrated bottle opener is perfect for capping the night off with a beer or two.
Top-Notch Quality Product. This Smittybilt XRC Tailgate is constructed using high-grade 14-gauge steel and finished with a protective light-textured finish. Thus, you can expect this tailgate to have superior quality and long-lasting lifespan. The cast steel hinge points and rigid overall steel construction ensures that the unit will not sag even with heavy, oversized tires attached.
Bolt-On Installation. This XRC Tailgate with Tire Carrier uses original equipment bolt configuration so there’s no cutting or drilling required for installation. The pre-drilled holes are designed to match the factory handles and latch transfer of your Jeep. With direct-fit design, installing this tailgate should be hassle-free.
Limited Lifetime Warranty. This XRC Tailgate with Tire Carrier comes with a limited lifetime warranty on structure and a 5-year manufacturer warranty on finish. Both warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship only. Warranty will be considered void for any products found to have signs of misuse, abuse, neglect, modification, improper installation, unauthorized repairs, submersion, or any other type of impact.
Application. This Smittybilt XRC Tailgate with Tire Carrier will fit 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models.
