The new hinge design went from a 3-bolt to a 4-bolt design per hinge. This required a redesign of the carrier itself. The JL Wrangler is a completely new vehicle compared to its predecessor, the JK Wrangler. Unlike other Jeep models, the JL Wrangler has reinforcements where the tailgate mounts, so we decided to do a much stronger tailgate mount by making the tire carrier a part of the hinge assembly. We have never been a fan of bumper mounted tire carriers because most models rattle and sag over time, in some instances in as little as a few months. A woman with a child in her arms had to be able to open and close it with one hand and it had to be able to support up to a 42-inch tire.

The Rusty's Carrier does work with the 2021's and later with the front & rear camera option.Īs we started doing the design work on the tire carrier for the new JL Wrangler, we knew we had to adhere to our same requirements that we used when designing the carrier for the TJ & LJ Wrangler as well as the JK Wrangler.
