Great product
Great material. Great design with some minor flaws. I will buy it again for my other Jeep. There is nothing better on the market for tires 37” plus.

Ordered from GenRight in CA on Monday and Tire Carrier was on the Jeep in MI by Friday. Very well built Tire Carrier and super light wieght. Installed in a few hours but I took my time because I didn’t want to screw it up. Looks BA on the JL!

JLU tire carrier
This is a very light and strong super simple design that I'm very happy with. The install was pretty easy but like any install, it takes a few hours. Mine was delivered missing some hardware and with one call to Keith the parts were received the next day. Buy this, its the best one for 40+ tires.

Could Not be Happier
I first heard of GenRight as I was researching parts for a previous Jeep build. I ended up with some other brand products on that build, but always regretted not going a tire carrier of this style. Since then, I decided to sell my JK and jump into a JL. This time I was going to do it right. Let me just say, I could not be happier with the GenRight tire carrier. I do all of my own work (won’t let anyone touch my Jeeps) and I can certainly appreciate quality hardware. These parts are absolutely top notch. The welds are beautiful; absolute work of art. I’m particularly happy with the strength of the parts. No movement at all when driving.

Definitely a must have
These are the best! Extremely lightweight and easy to use. Very sturdy and it can accommodate a 40" tire with no issues.

Lightweight
Lightweight and easy... I have to get in the back of my Jeep often for work and it's easy to get in the back of the Jeep. No squeaks or rattles even when wheeling. I love it and wouldn't use anything else.

A Must If Ur Running a 40” Spare!!
Aluminum is Soooo Nice & Light!! Plus you keep your Factory Camera with the License Plate Frame!! The AutoLock to hold it open is nice, didn’t have that on my JK Carrier!

Love this tire carrier!
I ordered this tire carrier for my new JL in April of 2018. It installed very easily and it's quiet! I am running 37's and can move the tire up or down 3" for more visibility out the rear window, by moving the mounting bracket. I have bumped it out on the trail with no damage to the vehicle or tire carrier. Top quality!
