Jeep TJ Tailgate Spare Tire Spacer

thingiverse

After installing a new spare tire carrier, my wheels stopped touching the rubber bumpers attached to the tailgate. To correct this issue, I designed and made these bumpers myself. They are spaced to fit my 33-inch tires perfectly. If you have different measurements, I can upload alternative STL files for you to print. You can choose to print four of the basic shapes or a few of the offset shapes, which will better fit your contact area. I ended up printing two of each design. I decided not to include the fifth lower bumper in my design because my tire rests solidly on the actual bumper without any issues. I'm still working on designing an offset shape that can clear the tailgate bracket successfully.
