See below for fitment on vehicle with aftermarket wheels and tires or tire carriers

  • Will work with all OEM installed tire carriers
  • NOT recommended for vehicles with aftermarket bumpers with integrated hitch

IF you have an aftermarket spare wheel (rim) or an aftermarket tire carrier please follow the guidelines below OR watch this video to ensure proper fitment of your rucRak to your application.

NOTE 1: If you have an aftermarket wheel, measure wheel depth by placing a placing a yardstick or a level flat across the tire and measuring from the lug nut to the outside of the tire, see the image below noting 5-7/8".

If that measurement is MORE than 5-7/8", then you will need to add Mounting Stud Extensions to your order.

Fitment Note 1 NOTE 2 : If you have an aftermarket tire carrier, measure the tire height by placing a yardstick or a level inside the hitch and measuring from the center of the wheel to the top of the hitch, see image below noting <2-1/2".

If that measurement is MORE than 22.5", then you will need to add Feet Extension Set to your order.

Fitment Note 2 NOTE 3 : If you have an aftermarket tire carrier or a positive offset on your wheel, measure from the pin hole in your hitch to a virtual vertical line on the outside of your tire as shown in the mage below noting <14".

If that measurement is MORE than 14”, then you will need to add Pedestal Extension Set to your order.

How it Mounts and How it works

  • No-Drill, Stress-Free Installation: Our patented system replaces your existing factory spare tire lug nuts with our proprietary studs for a secure fit in minutes. It also uses our T-bar load handler support bar to relieve the weight. The best part? You can leave it on, so it's ready when you are, or remove it quickly for spare access!
  • The Science of Weight Distribution (Static vs. Dynamic): Learn how the rucRak transfers load to your hitch to protect your vehicle's hinges and tire carrier.
  • Long-Term Hinge & Tire Carrier Protection: Real-world proof of why the rucRak is the safest storage solution for your Bronco or Jeep.

Notes about Carrying Bikes

The Grunt can carry 1 or 2 bikes. While the Grunt was originally designed for traditional pedal bikes, you can safely load your e-bike(s) on it as long as the wheel base is 45 inches or less, and the total weight is under 150 lbs. If you need a carrier for larger or heavier bikes, please check out our upcoming e-bike rack, The Chief.
Although the bike rack kit accessory is not absolutely required for carrying bikes, as there are plenty of places to strap them on, it is recommended. You can find it here: Bike Rack Accessory Kit

Bike capacity - carry 1 or 2 bikes, max wheelbase 45 inches, max weight 125lbs

Dimensions & Weight Capacity

While other racks claim 500lb+ capacities that can exceed your vehicle's tongue weight and damage your frame, the rucRak GRUNT is precision-engineered for a safe 150lb payload.

Why 150lbs?

  • Hitch Integrity: Most mid-size SUVs have a tongue weight limit of 350lbs. Once you account for the weight of a heavy steel rack and the "lever effect" of the cargo, a 150lb limit keeps you well within the safe operating zone for your Jeep or Bronco.
  • Dynamic Force Protection: When you hit a pothole or a trail bump, a 150lb load can briefly exert over 350lbs of force. Our limit ensures your factory tire carrier and hitch remain stress-free.
  • Practical Utility: 150lbs is more than enough for a fully-loaded 65qt cooler plus your recovery gear, or 3-4 bags of mulch for your weekend project.

Dimensions: 4 in X 16 in X 40 in

Weight Capacity: 125 lb

Rear Tire Mount — No Stress, Full Access

Load On, Roll Out

The rucRak GRUNT mounts directly to your Jeep or Bronco’s rear spare tire without putting stress on the tire carrier or risking damage. Its patented design allows you to open and access the tailgate freely — no need to remove or move the cargo carrier.

Adventure Ready by Design

Complete Modular System

The rucRak GRUNT isn’t just a cargo carrier — it’s a complete modular system. It includes a built-in bike rack, tailgate table, flag and umbrella mounts, and tumbler holders. Add upgrades like the all-terrain wagon kit, tool holders, or fishing rod holders to fully enhance your Jeep or Bronco setup.

Will it block my tailgate?

No. You retain full swing-gate access, even fully loaded.

Will the GRUNT cargo carrier with bike rack put stress on my tire mount or tailgate?

No. The GRUNT’s patented load-handler system evenly distributes weight, protecting your tire carrier and tailgate from stress or damage.

Does the GRUNT attach to the hitch?

The GRUNT mounts to your spare tire and uses a load-handler that rests in the hitch only for support and stability — not primary mounting. Your hitch stays open for towing.

This means the spare tire handles the mounting, and the hitch simply stabilizes the load — so you get full tailgate access, zero wobble, and no stress on your tire carrier.

How much weight can the GRUNT hold?

The GRUNT cargo rack supports up to 125 lbs when using the load handler.
