Spare Tire Delete Kit (Bare Aluminum) for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

Pull the factory rear bumper and tailgate-mounted spare off a Jeep Wrangler JK and you lose your license plate mount with them. The Artec Industries JK Spare Tire Delete fixes that with a boxed 1/16" aluminum bracket that relocates the plate cleanly to the tailgate, keeping the Jeep street-legal while adding only about 1.5 lbs. It was engineered from OEM 3D scan files, then CNC laser cut and CNC bent in-house, so it follows the JK body lines instead of fighting them. This version ships in bare aluminum for builders who want to paint or powder coat it to match the rig.

Features

• Boxed construction from 1/16" aluminum — rigid bracket at roughly 1.5 lbs
• Engineered from OEM 3D scan files for a precise factory-contour fit
• CNC laser cut and CNC bent in-house at Artec's Utah facility
• Bolt-on install that reuses factory hardware; nutserts come pre-attached

• Bare aluminum finish ready for paint or powder coat in your build color
• Made in the USA
