- In this video I do a product review of my @RoughCountryTV HD Tire Carrier for the 2007 - 2018 Jeep JK and JKU after having it on and using it for a little over a year.
Additionally, I go over the install process as I disassemble mine to make some adjustments after learning some lessons on the install process of this Tire Carrier.

I like this one. Its what I'm looking for. I believe the extra holes you referred to at 16:50 are for mounting additional hardware like the Hi Lift Jack holder (been looking for these lately and they mount onto the existing hole locations of the OEM hinges, which align with those outer holes) and maybe the flag holder.
RC doesn’t make any accessories for those holes, and i haven’t been able to find any built that’s the correct thread to work in them either. Everything just binds up
But the hinges have treated me well. Not had any issues
Im running 35x12.5x17 and im on my 3rd rough country tire carrier!!! The bushings at the pivot points arent lasting..... thankfully rough country has a decent warranty
Oh dang!! Haven’t had any issues with mine off yet.
But yeah! Rough Country aint exactly the best product out there, but they do stand behind their shit! Haha
This one looks nice! Looking for a reinforcement tire carrier for my 37X13.50 Nitto Ridge Grappler. I feel like this one would be sturdy enough. Might purchase this one! Thanks for the review
It has no issues holding up my 35” Procomps.
Just make sure to space everything correctly and put it as close in and down as you can without it rubbing or hitting everything and you’ll be good
Those holes are for a high lift jack mount
Oh!!
Aight, thank you!
I’ve been searching all over! Thank you! 😂
Does your spare look like it's leaning back? Installed last week and tire is leaning. Took mount off and retightened everything but it still leans. Don't know if that's normal.
No not at all. Mine sits very tight into my tailgate.
Are you sure the hinges are aligned correctly? Is the whole tailgate leaning, or just the spare?
@@bigzoffroad Just the spare. Just realized the tailgate is rattling. Gonna take everything off and try again.
where did you get the antenna mount ? place and brand please ?
That i really couldn’t tell you.
It was just a no-name off of amazon. Tried looking back through my orders, and it was a while ago, so i can’t find it now
@@bigzoffroad Okay thanks, I found one on Amazon!
those holes are for a high lift jack mount!
AAAWWWW!!! Okay, but does RC make one?
Not sure if they do or not! @@bigzoffroad
@@allancivitello3771 i wasn’t able to find one, also, I’ve tried extensively to figure out what that those bolt holes are… they seem to be miserably in between whats closest on SAE and Metric, so nothing fits.
I was thinking to fashion my own flag mount there, but gave up
@@bigzoffroad I wonder if the powder coating is messing with the threads making it a tighter fit for the bolt ?
@@allancivitello3771 possibly
But you’d think a grade 8 bolt would eat through the powder coating?
Tire jack goes on bolts hole on tire carrier
What tire jack? You mean that scissor jack in the back of the jeep?
Where does the break light go? I just had the cable with the connector sticking out hanging
You’ll need to get an aftermarket brake light of some sort. I know RC has one, but i have one that is a disk and goes inside the spare tire and has a bunch of LEDs.
Gotcha I kinda figured that thank you! I literally just installed this on my girls jeep a couple hours ago
@@sapphirestang1451 you take it for a test drive to make sure you don’t get that crazy rattle over every little bump?
@@sapphirestang1451 also! Thank you for the watch! I hope my video helped with the installation process and made anything that was confusing a little easier to get through
@@bigzoffroad yes sorry for the late response but we actually just got a 2 1/2” lift on it and the aftermarket wheels put on 18” rims 35” tires
