Tailgate Spare Tire Spacer – 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ
Tailgate Spare Tire Spacer – 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ
3D-printed replacement tailgate spare tire spacer made for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ: a simple way to replace a cracked, lost or hard-to-find original part.
About this part
After putting on a new spare tire carrier, my wheels were no longer touching the rubber bumpers attached to the tailgate. I made these to help correct that. They are spaced to fit my 33" tires. I can upload other STL files for you if your measurements are different.
You can print four of the basic shapes, or a few of the offset shapes to better fit your contact area. I ended up using two of each. I did not bother with the fifth lower bumper because my tire rests solidly on the actual bumper.
edit: Still working on an offset design to clear the tailgate bracket.
