this has to be one of the best looking spare tire mounts out there that relocate the brake light and camera. and its not that bad of a price. now if you guys can just make a rear bumper that isn't ugly and has a license plate mount with a light.
Got my alpha tire carrier a couple weeks ago can’t wait for your reinforcement tail gate to come out. I like how you don’t need a socket or wrench to takeoff your life like all the other competitors just simple cantilever. 👍🏻
Installed yesterday on my 2021 rubicon to carry a 37 on factory wheel. Video was awesome and the install only took a couple hours … the down side was not having a torx#8 … make sure you have one before you start as most sets only go down to 10 or 9.
I love this tire carrier for sure. I only wish you could utilize the stock 3rd brake light mount, or you made an option to mount it above and behind the tire. Some states require the 3rd brake light to be a certain height above the outer brake lights, so I can't use this without being hassled by the local law enforcement. I know people that have tried and had to take it off to pass inspection after a fix-it ticket.
Any new updates on this Mount with a license relocation ? I want this Mount but the license plate is my only issue since I have a aftermarket bumper that doesn’t allow for the license plate to be relocated. 😞 Please Teraflex 🙏🏽🙏🏽 make a bracket for this.
If your wheel thickness is thick you will barely get then third brake light on, mine is hanging by a thread. Overall I like it. Just installed it today so we will see how the brake light holds on.
Im getting Black Rhino Warlord wheels with an offset of -12, with 35”. Will your mounting kit be able to adjust for this? I still have the OEM plastic bumper. Thanks.
@@Strizzle81 Thanks for the reminder! This part has been extremely tough to perfect and we are still working on getting it up to our standards. We have always been a company that chooses quality over speed. Rest assured when we release our version it will have the R&D, testing, and time put into it to make it one of the best.
TeraFlexSuspensions Still waiting. I have another hinge reinforcement on right now and will replace it with a Teraflex when it comes out. I’m absolutely not happy with the one I have on and want to be one of the first to order yours.
Can this be used alone without the Mopar tailgate reinforcement kit, if I’m only carrying 17 wheels and 35 tires? I have the Mopar kit, but everyone I go over a bump on the road my tailgate rattles a bit. Looking to see if I remove and go with just your kit for the tire. Any advice would be great. TIA
Yes, you can use this alone, or with a Mopar reinforcement plate. If not using a reinforcement plate, we only recommend adding a tire with the max weight of 100 lbs.
Would I be able to raise a 35in tire high enough to clear a bumper that doesn't have the spare tire cut out? It's a flat tube bumper but I still want to run a spare without needing to put it inside the jeep.
Teraflex: Great looking mount! I tightened the stud to 150 ft-lbs and I can’t get the jam nut off!! I bought two 22mm wrenches. Any tips? Also I think you guys should offer shipping the teraflex with customer’s choice of stud locations. It is way too hard to tighten the studs to the torque spec of 150ft-lbs. I watched the extreme terrain’s video and they didn’t tighten it to torque specs. If I can’t take off the jam nuts, I will try taking it to a local shop and if they can’t take it off, I will have to return to extreme terrain
Sorry to hear about the issues. Hopefully you got the jam nut off. Unfortunately that is the only way to send them out as our production team makes these in bulk to ship all over the world.
I was able to take it off with a breaker bar and after digesting some healthy protein bars! I had actually stripped the thread of the drive nut but luckily on the third stud after tightening!! Taking it off became easier Still love the product and final appearance. Looks great on my JL and I was even able to put on an LED ring of brake lights. I also paired it with a redrock tailgate reinforcement from extreme terrain and live the end result. There is no wobble closing the tailgate now and it’s very smooth and sturdy
Yes, this will work just fine with the Mopar hinge reinforcement. You will have to use the spacers that come with that kit but it will function just fine.
25 pounds foot torque busted 2 of the 8 bolts, now I gotta go try and find some that will fit. Also my camera doesn't fit with your finish piece. It sticks out too far. 21 Rubicon 4 door. Got any fix for that so I don't lose my camera?
Follow up if it happens to someone else- my stud ring came out without the composite housing. It felt like it was glued in, i re-threaded the 2 small set screws and it came loose with a few taps of the hammer.
Same thing happened to mine and I was able to take off the camera housing from the factory tire carrier by hammering in at the same location where I pulled out the two screws of the camera housing
@@teraflexsuspensions is there a way to have an insert on the top of camera housing? Since i have the third brake light ring it will just be an open hole.
Those allen wrench thumb spinning skills are on point.
I was today years old when I discovered this and I've been using Allen wrenches my whole life (39)!
I'm in awe of the design of this product. Good work Teraflex!

Get on the Ball with the tailgate reinforcement!!
This mount looks much more trick than the JK mount. You're gonna make me want to buy a JL just so I can use this mount!

Need this for the JK. There are a lot of us out there.
Damn thats nice.
Where is Dennis Wood? I miss training with wood

Just installed on the JLUR 4XE - You will need to fabricate a small plate with 3 holes, fasten it to the back of the camera so you can mount it.
Doubt Teraflex has had time to figure that one out since its a new model or have a solution
Any new updates on this Mount with a license relocation ? I want this Mount but the license plate is my only issue since I have a aftermarket bumper that doesn’t allow for the license plate to be relocated. 😞

I see the rubber bumper remain here, but in the video with the tailgate reinforcement they are deleted. Aren't they required for secure mount?
How do I adjust the bump stops on the tailgate since my
New wheel has negative offset? I just ordered this carrier.
So I can safely run a 35" MT tire on a 17" rim with -12 offset with this HD carrier?
If your wheel thickness is thick you will barely get then third brake light on, mine is hanging by a thread. Overall I like it. Just installed it today so we will see how the brake light holds on.
Thanks, feel free to reach out and get us some photos of your setup. We would love to be able to take some notes and update the product if necessary
TeraFlexSuspensions I did reach out and no reply. The email provided doesn’t allow to attach photos.
Im getting Black Rhino Warlord wheels with an offset of -12, with 35”. Will your mounting kit be able to adjust for this? I still have the OEM plastic bumper. Thanks.
Yes, they should work just fine.
Purchased and installed. One beautiful piece of engineering. When will the tailgate hinge reinforcement kit be done?
We are working hard to bring out a worthy HD hinge plate. Keep an eye out for its debut.
@@teraflexsuspensions You're late to the party....the JL has been out for almost 2 years and you still haven't developed a proper hinge einforcement.

@@kirbytheap Thanks for the support. The extra time we are taking to create this hinge and make it right will pay off.
Getting pretty anxious.. no work on an eta for the JL hinge kit??
Unfortunately no specific ETA yet on the JL Hinge. But rest assured we are working hard to find a solution.

You will want to measure and be sure. You can also run at the 37" tire height for added clearance.
Any provision or way to mount a license plate.
If you put on an aftermarket bumper it's a must
Agreed. We are working on a solution! Unfortunately no eta yet, but hopefully very soon.
Any update on license plate mount? Will also need an LED light for the license plate once it goes on the tire carrier
@@mail4arjun Not yet unfortunately. At this time we are not certain if we will add a license plate light or not.

Oh no, give us a call and we will get you taken care of!
What tailgate reinforcement do you recommend to fit with this Mounting Kit?
We have currently only tested with the Mopar Reinforcement. Which it will work well with.
are you making your own for the JL? @@teraflexsuspensions
Yes, we will be coming out with an Alpha Hinge for the JL as well. Currently in R&D.
Can this be used alone without the Mopar tailgate reinforcement kit, if I’m only carrying 17 wheels and 35 tires?
@@teraflexsuspensions Is there any update on this??? I want to order, but only if I can find a hinge reinforcement also.. Not a fan of the Mopar one.
Will work on a 2021 Jj rubicon? Some people are complaining that the camera doesn’t fit
There was a change in the camera mounting on the newer models, but we have a different piece to fix the fitment issue.
@@teraflexsuspensions ok I purchased
your rig, do I need to get a factory piece from you separately?
2020 JLU, my camera isn't attached to the stud ring. Something else holding it in.
Follow up if it happens to someone else- my stud ring came out without the composite housing. It felt like it was glued in, i re-threaded the 2 small set screws and it came loose with a few taps of the hammer.
Same thing happened to mine and I was able to take off the camera housing from the factory tire carrier by hammering in at the same location where I pulled out the two screws of the camera housing
I have a rugged ridge third brake light ring behind the tire of my jeep. Will this carrier accept that third brake light ring?
Yes, it should work just fine.
@@teraflexsuspensions is there a way to have an insert on the top of camera housing? Since i have the third brake light ring it will just be an open hole.
People can steal these third brake light easily...
to be fair nothing on a jeep is bolted, really need to park inside a garage or a really good neighborhood!
Got this and its bad ass but I need the hinge reinforcement badly. ETA on release?
Unfortunately not yet. Hoping to have some more info soon.
