Body Armor Spare Tire Carrier

Body Armor 4x4 Spare Tire Carriers: Built for the Trail, Not the Pavement

When you're running oversized rubber deep in the backcountry, your stock tailgate-mounted spare solution simply isn't up to the task. Body Armor 4x4 has answered that challenge with a lineup of purpose-built spare tire carriers engineered specifically for off-road Jeep and truck owners who demand more than factory hardware can provide.

Swingarm Engineering That Works Hard

Body Armor 4x4's spare tire carriers are built around a robust swingarm design that integrates directly with their rear bumper systems. These swingarm carriers are designed for use with various Body Armor 4x4 rear bumpers and are constructed from durable steel, finished in a tough black powdercoat, and include mounting hardware. The result is a cohesive, purpose-matched system rather than a bolt-on afterthought.

At the heart of the design is a dual wheel bearing configuration, which also features pre-drilled holes to accommodate a gas can holder and jack brackets — smart, trail-ready touches that add real-world utility beyond simply hauling a spare. The dual wheel bearing design delivers additional strength, and the carrier uses a latch system that operates much like a car door to open the swing arm , making access intuitive even when you're gloveless and muddy on a remote trail.

Fitment and Tire Capacity

Body Armor 4x4 produces spare tire carrier solutions for popular platforms including Jeep Wrangler JK and JL generations, as well as Toyota Tacoma. On newer JL builds, the tire carrier is designed to retain the OEM camera and third brake light , preserving factory safety and visibility features that many aftermarket solutions sacrifice. Carriers are rear bumper-mounted, support tires up to 40 inches in diameter, and are constructed from steel with a black powdercoated finish.

A System Built to Work Together

Body Armor 4x4 spare tire carriers are designed to provide a secure and easy means to haul your spare tire , but they're most effective as part of an integrated bumper-and-carrier system. Body Armor 4x4 produces extreme off-road equipment for Jeeps and trucks , and that philosophy shows in how their tire carriers are engineered to complement their rear bumpers with matched geometry and shared mounting points. For off-road enthusiasts building out a complete rear end, this system approach eliminates fitment guesswork and delivers a clean, factory-quality look with significantly more capability.

Whether you're navigating rock crawls, logging roads, or desert washes, a properly mounted spare tire is one of the most important pieces of recovery gear on your rig. Body Armor 4x4's swingarm carriers make sure that spare is ready when you need it — secure, accessible, and sized for the real tires serious wheelers run.
