2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator JT Adjustable Tire Carrier

Good quality, except have a issue with one of spring pin latches, hard to operate and does not want to engage, have not had tie to trouble shoot.
Also could do better with hardware placement in instructions.

I had this installed in April of 22. One of the shock absorbers has already died, poor quality bolts, washers are rusting, paint chips everywhere. I have not used the bed for anything but carrying the tire. It's been stood up and retracted about four times total. It's functional but it's not great quality. Vehicle has been on two off-road excursions since, and the vehicle always stays inside will not be in driven.

The packaging of the product inside the box superb, it arrived with the box a bit beat up but carrier was unharmed. install was straight forward after you figure out the bag of bolts location. them had to wedge a 2 X 4 agents the bracket and tail gate to get the bolts started and my bed is not lined. could use some more clearance there, just move slots a little.

Overall I'm happy with it and it looks cool and the tire in the horizontal plane is handy, already used it like that. have not been off road with it yet but on road speed bump jumping with a 39 X 13.50 FG mud terrain bolted up is ratel free in ether position.

I installed this about two weeks ago and love it! It is extremely well packed and very heavy duty. The install went fine with only a few things to point out, 1) the factory spray in bed liner pushes the bottom bracket out ever so slightly so you have to work to get the bolts in. 2) Not all JT models have rivnuts in the bed (easy fix at a local hardware store) 3) The instructions do not indicate what bolt goes where but its simple to figure out once you lay the parts out. I heard they are working to revise the instructions a bit but what is there works for now!

I used the second position from the bottom (of four) for the hydraulic struts if anyone was curious.

This is the slickest tire carrier on the market. It shipped fast and arrived well protected. Unfortunately the delivery company manhandled it a little crazily (I have them on video rolling the box head-over-heals out of their truck and across my driveway. This action left one of the crossmembers damaged & scrapped up at the end, with a small amount of powder coat chipped away, but it not DV8’s fault. A little filing and some roll cage paint will fix it.

The tire carrier is well designed and sturdily constructed. The welds are solid and the metal is cleanly cut. I couldn’t be more pleased with this product. It functions exactly as intended and looks awesome.
