2020-2023 Jeep Gladiator JT Adjustable Tire Carrier

Instruction are vague but pretty self explanatory,lower brace bolt holes didn't align with the bed holes but overall nice tire carrier.

I believe this is an overall quality item. For me it does fit very tightly into the bed of the gladiator so there was sufficient use of a rubber mallet.

The bottom mounting bracket did not line up appropriately with the factory holes in the bed. The openings in the bracket aren’t quite wide enough and the bracket covers the threaded factory mounting location. I had to widen the holes in the bracket about the width of the bolt in order to make it work.

Did have a couple of small places missing powder coat as well.

I do think it would be better if the instructions included information about the hardware at each step, however once you get the hardware set out and you start working on the install it becomes fairly common sense where each bit of hardware should go.

It’s a nice item and feels very rigid. I’m happy with it at this time. Haven’t felt, noticed or heard any vibration with the tire in either position. The pistons supplied are very strong.

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.
