Spare Tire Delete Kit (Powder Coated Aluminum) for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018
Once the factory rear bumper and swing-out spare come off a Wrangler JK, the license plate needs a new home — and this powder coated Artec Industries delete kit gives it one that installs straight out of the box. The bracket is boxed 1/16" aluminum weighing about 1.5 lbs, developed from OEM 3D scan files so it sits tight against the tailgate, and it arrives in a lightly textured black powder coat that matches most trail builds without any prep. It is the ready-to-run answer for JK owners who deleted the tailgate tire and want to stay road-legal.
Features
- Lightly textured black powder coat — install it the day it arrives
- 1/16" boxed aluminum construction, roughly 1.5 lbs on the tailgate
- Developed from OEM 3D scan files, CNC laser cut and CNC bent in-house
- Reuses factory hardware for a straightforward bolt-on install
- Provisions for optional side-shooting dual LED license plate lights
- Made in the USA
Fitment covers Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU 2007-2018, all sub-models, on rigs without the factory tailgate spare. Want to color-match a custom finish instead? The bare aluminum JK kit ships unfinished, and 2018+ owners need the powder coated JL Spare Tire Delete Kit. See related tire carriers and swing-outs or shop everything from Artec Industries.
Spare Tire Delete Kit (Powder Coated Aluminum) for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 FAQs
Is this kit ready to install as delivered?
Yes. The lightly textured black powder coat means there is no painting or prep — bolt it to the tailgate using the factory hardware and the bracket's pre-attached nutserts. Most owners handle the install at home with basic hand tools.
Which Jeeps does it fit?
It fits the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU from 2007 to 2018, all sub-models. It is intended for rigs running an aftermarket rear bumper or any rear setup that no longer carries the factory tailgate-mounted spare tire.
How do I light the relocated plate?
The bracket includes provisions for lighting, and Artec's side-shooting dual LED license plate lights are sold separately. If your build already has a custom finish you want to match instead of black, the bare aluminum version of this kit ships unfinished so you can paint or powder coat it yourself.
