Fits all Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ trims, including: Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, Willys, Unlimited, and Special Editions.

  • Will work with ALL OEM spare tire and wheel combinations
  • Will work with any spare tire size. Fitment depends on wheel size, not tire size
  • Will work with all OEM wheel (rim) sizes up to 20”
  • 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.

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.

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.

$799.95
Lightweight Aluminum Jeep Storage Rack

Crafted with lightweight aluminum to deliver unmatched durability

One System for Family and Adventure

Built for daily driving, road trips, and weekends outdoors

Tailgate Access. No Hitch.

Jeep hitch cargo carrier functionality. Tire-Mount freedom.

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.

What size bikes will the rucRak GRUNT Jeep Wrangler & Ford Bronco cargo carrier hold?

The rucRak GRUNT rear bumper tire carriers can securely carry two bikes with wheelbases ranging from 25" to 45" and tire widths up to 4 inches. This includes everything from small kids’ bikes to full-size adult mountain bikes.

E-Bikes:
E-bikes are not recommended on the GRUNT or GUNNY swing-away carrier unless the combined bike weight stays under the model’s weight capacity. For proper e-bike hauling on an SUV, RV, camper, truck, or any vehicle with a 2-inch receiver, visit The CHIEF product page.

Will the GRUNT rear cargo carrier fit my larger-than-stock spare tire?

Yes — tire size does not affect fitment of the rucRak GRUNT. What matters is your wheel size, since that determines how the rear hitch cargo carrier mounts to your spare.

Please refer to this fitment video to confirm compatibility for your setup:
https://youtu.be/dgs9WKKfIp8?si=zKq-kNIpoY8d5ohL

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.

What vehicles does the rucRak GRUNT cargo carrier with bike rack fit?

The GRUNT cargo carrier bike rack is designed for Jeep Wranglers (JK, JL 2007+) and Ford Broncos with a rear-mounted spare tire. It attaches securely without modifications.

Will the rucRak cargo carrier work with my vehicle’s backup alarm?

No. You’ll need to manually turn off your backup alarm. All cargo carriers and bike racks will trigger factory backup sensors due to their proximity to the vehicle.

Can I still use my rear-view camera with the rucRak GRUNT hitch cargo carrier?

Yes — the rucRak GRUNT cargo carrier built for Jeeps and Ford Broncos is designed to maintain full rear-view camera visibility.

How much does the GRUNT aluminum cargo rack weigh?

The rucRak GRUNT spare tire mount weighs approximately 30–33 lbs, depending on your configuration. Although it mounts to your rear spare tire, the weight is not carried by the tire or tailgate alone. The included load handler rests in your hitch and supports the system from underneath, distributing weight safely and preventing stress or damage to your tire carrier.

This design keeps the GRUNT lightweight, secure, and fully compatible with Jeep and Bronco spare-mount setups.
