The Rugged Ridge Spare Tire Delete Plate eliminates the factory spare tire carrier on 2007-2018 Wrangler JK models for reduced weight, greater rear visibility and improved departure angles when off-road driving. Stamped from brawny steel plate, precisely drilled to match the JK tailgate and given a black textured powder coat, each Spare Tire Delete Plate is engineered to look like a factory-quality part in both fit and finish. With seven pressed vent louvers and an eye-catching cutout logo, the Rugged Ridge Spare Tire Delete Plate is a serious styling upgrade for anyone who prefers the hardcore off-road image or simply runs a tire too large for conventional carry. The Rugged Ridge Tire carrier Delete Plate is also available in a complete kit that includes both a low-profile license plate bracket and high-mount brake light relocation bracket for a total tailgate makeover.
