Overview
Show original supplier description
Part #: 11546.51
The Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Hinge Casting provides the ultimate in strength and stability for mounting your oversized wheel and tire. Functionally designed to manage the amplified force and vibrations produced during extreme off-road conditions. The precision die-cast aluminum Hinge Casting provides maximum strength without the excess weight of steel. The one-piece design maintains one-handed access to cargo area and rigidly links the Wheel Mount to the reinforced section of the rear quarter panel. This, in combination with forged steel hinge brackets and hardened steel pins, results in far superior load capacity than the factory tailgate hinges, thereby effectively reducing wear and increasing longevity. Compatible with OE and most aftermarket rear bumpers. No drilling required. Recommended pairing with Spartacus HD Tire Carrier Wheel Mount (P/N 11546.52) for up to and including 37" wheel/tire carrying capacity. Patent Pending. Patent No. D758,829

- Recommended pairing with Rugged Ridge HD Wheel Mount (11546.52) for maximum strength and wheel/tire adjustability.
