  • 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.

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.

How is the GRUNT different from a traditional Jeep cargo basket?

The GRUNT is a modular spare-tire-mounted system, not a fixed steel basket. Instead of being a single-purpose cargo tray, GRUNT is designed to adapt to different uses over time—cargo, bikes, tables, and accessories—using the same core system.

Traditional Jeep cargo baskets are typically welded steel platforms with limited flexibility. They often require unloading to access the rear and are designed for one use case. The GRUNT’s design focuses on reconfigurability, rear access, and long-term versatility, allowing Jeep owners to adjust the setup as trips, gear, or vehicles change.

Built with corrosion-resistant aluminum and stainless-steel hardware, the GRUNT is engineered for year-round Jeep use, including daily driving, road trips, and extended travel.

Does The rucRak come with a warranty?

Yes — all rucRak models are covered by rucRak’s Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. We stand behind every product we build — because adventure gear should last a lifetime.

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.

Why is this Jeep Cargo Rack better than any others on the market?

While most Jeep cargo carriers plug into the hitch and block your tailgate, the GRUNT’s patented spare-tire mount gives you:

Full tailgate access (even when fully loaded)
No stress on your tire carrier
No hitch wobble or clearance issues
Your receiver hitch stays open for towing
A lighter, stronger, Wrangler-specific system

It performs like a hitch cargo carrier — but smarter, stronger, and truly made for Jeep life.

Lightweight Aluminum. Heavy-Duty Performance.

Crafted from high-grade aluminum, the GRUNT is durable yet lightweight, supporting up to 125 lbs. of gear on the main rack. It also includes:

Integrated tailgate table (supports 30 lbs.)
Bike rack capability
Accessory holders for tumblers, fishing rods &amp; tools
License plate relocator
Secure mount that won’t damage your tire carrier

This is the best cargo carrier for Jeep Wrangler owners who want versatility without compromise.

What does the rucRak Jeep Wrangler cargo rack function as?

The rucRak GRUNT functions as:

A Jeep Wrangler rear cargo rack
A Jeep luggage carrier
A hitch carrier alternative
A secure platform for coolers, camping gear, beach gear, hunting gear &amp; more

Whether you're tailgating, overlanding, camping, or hitting the trails, the GRUNT gives you a smarter, stronger, American-made cargo system — without the limitations of a hitch carrier.
