POISON SPYDER® 19-62-031TP1

Poison Spyder's JK Frame Mounted Tire Carrier is the ultimate combination of strength, ease of use, high clearance and great looks. It attaches directly to the strongest structure on the Jeep: the frame. This removes the weight and stresses of large, heavy spare tires and wheels from the Jeep's tailgate, body tub, and bumper. The single-action opening is the pinnacle of convenience, requiring only a single hand to open the tailgate and tire carrier in tandem. The concealed pivot tucks in closer to the Jeep's body than previous Poison Spyder tire carriers, providing better clearances on the trail. This carrier is compatible with Poison Spyder Bruiser&trad;, Crawler&trad; and RockBrawler&trad; II* series rear bumpers, and can be added later. The SpyderShell&trad; Armor Coat finish carries a 5 year warranty.Frame-mounting provides the ultimate strength for a pivoting spare tire mount on Jeeps. Body mounted tire carriers place the weight and stress of the spare tire on the Jeep's tailgate and/or body. Bumper-mounted tire carriers are better, switching those forces to the bumper, which is in turn bolted to the frame. But the ultimate strategy is to go right to the source of the Jeep's structural integrity: bolt it right to the frame. The Poison Spyder JK Frame Mounted Tire Carrier does just that, using a triangulated mounting bracket that secures to the Jeep's frame rail and rear crossmember in three planes.The Frame Mounted Tire Carrier's Single-Action-Opening feature is a huge convenience for when you're trying to open the tailgate and tire carrier with one hand, when you've got an armload of gear or groceries in the other. Rather than latching to itself, the Frame Mounted Tire Carrier is tethered to the tailgate so that they open and close in tandem. A custom designed tie-rod assembly, bumper mechanism and tailgate plate keep the two pieces perfectly aligned when open, but tight and rattle-free when closed.The JK Frame Mounted Tire Carrier is compatible with Poison Spyder Bruiser&trad; and Crawler&trad; series rear bumpers. This provides an upgrade path for Jeep owners who wish to purchase the bumper first, and then upgrade to the tire carrier at a later date. The tire carrier may be added later, without needing to replace or alter the Bruiser&trad; or Crawler&trad; series bumper (removal of the bumper is required during installation of the tire carrier). The JK Frame Mounted Tire Carrier is also compatible with previous generation RockBrawler&trad; II series rear bumpers that were originally purchased without an integrated tire carrier (some DIY modifications required). The Frame Mounted Tire Carrier may also be installed without any bumper at all, if the owner chooses.The Frame Mounted Tire Carrier uses an extreme duty pivot assembly that is located below the deck of the rear bumper, to allow the tire carrier to be tucked in closer to the Jeep's body tub and provide better off-road clearances. The pivot assembly includes a precision CNC machined spindle and housing, with a pair of high quality Timken tapered roller bearings to provide smooth operation under the heaviest loads Spindle seals keep your lubrication in, and dirt and water out.
