KT Performance - Tire Carriers

Has opening your rear tailgate become a burden since you added a swing out tire carrier? Has it become easier to crawl over the rear seat, to grab your gear, than hassling with the tire carrier? The Rugged Ridge Tire Carrier Linkage Kit eliminates the issue and makes accessing the cargo area quick and painless. Once installed the linkage mates the tire carrier to the tailgate , so both open in a single fluid movement. The Tire Carrier Linkage is designed to work with Rugged Ridge XHD, RRC and Rock Crawling rear bumpers and tire carriers, but will also work with most other aftermarket tire carriers. No drilling is required to mount the linkage to the tailgate, but some minor drilling is required to mount the linkage to the tire carrier.

Allows you to mount up to a 35 tire on your 1976-2006 XHD Rear Bumper.

The perfect addition to the XHD Rear Bumper and XHD Aluminum Rear Bumper is the matching XHD Tire Carrier Mount. The latch uses a sturdy locking mechanism for security and a tough appearance. Our engineers have gone to great lengths to make this the quietest tire carrier on the market, no more rattling! The massive hinge pivots on a heavy-duty roller bearing and supports up to a 35 inch tire. A multi-position locking pin mechanism keeps the arm in the open position when you need to open the tailgate, even on the steepest grade. The XHD Tire Carrier Mount attaches to the XHD Rear Bumpers using the D-ring mounts for a solid foundation.
