Spare Tire Delete Kit (Powder Coated Aluminum) for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+
This is the install-and-done version of Artec Industries' JL Spare Tire Delete: a boxed 1/16" aluminum bracket in lightly textured black powder coat that relocates your license plate and remounts the factory backup camera and third brake light after the tailgate spare comes off. Developed from OEM 3D scan files and weighing about 1.5 lbs, it bolts to the JL tailgate with factory hardware and looks finished from day one — no paint booth required. For JL owners running an aftermarket rear bumper, it is the cleanest way to stay road-legal without the swing-out tire.
Features
- Lightly textured black powder coat for a bolt-on, ready-to-run install
- Keeps the factory backup camera and factory third brake light in service
- Camera and license plate mounting hardware included
- Boxed 1/16" aluminum construction at roughly 1.5 lbs
- OEM 3D scan engineering, CNC laser cut and CNC bent in-house
- Handles both 2018-2020 and 2021+ factory camera styles
- Made in the USA
Fits Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU 2018-present, all sub-models — check your model year's camera style before ordering, since the kit accommodates both. Builders chasing a custom color should grab the bare aluminum JL kit instead, and JK owners want the powder coated JK Spare Tire Delete Kit.

Spare Tire Delete Kit (Powder Coated Aluminum) for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018+ FAQs
Will my backup camera still work after the spare tire delete?
Yes. The bracket remounts the factory backup camera along with the factory third brake light, and the kit includes the hardware for both. It accommodates the 2018-2020 and 2021+ camera styles — verify which one your model year uses before installing.
Does the finish hold up outdoors?
The lightly textured black powder coat over aluminum is built for daily exposure — aluminum will not rust, and the coating resists chips and UV fade. That makes this version the right pick if you want to bolt it on and forget it rather than paint a bare bracket.
What do I need to complete the install?
Just basic hand tools. The bracket mounts using factory hardware, and the camera and license plate hardware is included in the box. It fits Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU models from 2018 to present that run an aftermarket rear bumper or no tailgate-mounted spare.
