Jeep JK Tailgate Cover & Spare Tire Delete
Have you moved your spare tire to a bumper-mounted carrier—or decided to run without one for a cleaner look and a better departure angle? Once the factory carrier is removed from your Jeep Wrangler JK, it leaves behind unsightly mounting holes and an exposed vent. The RockJock Spare Tire Delete Panel is the perfect solution, delivering a clean, finished look for your tailgate.
Achieve a Clean, Finished Look
This simple but effective panel is designed to transform the rear of your JK after removing the factory spare tire mount—cleaning up the tailgate and creating a streamlined appearance.
- Sleek, Minimalist Aesthetic: Replaces the bulky factory carrier with a smooth, low-profile plate for a custom look.
- Complete Tailgate Coverage: One-piece panel precisely formed to cover all eight factory mounting holes and the black plastic vent assembly.
- Durable Construction:Laser-cut 14-gauge steel finished in a semi-gloss black powder coat to handle the elements and match aftermarket accessories.
- Improved Rear Visibility: Removing the spare tire from the tailgate opens up your rearview mirror sightline.
Simple & Secure Installation
Designed for a straightforward bolt-on install that can be completed in minutes. The kit includes four new bolts and custom machined aluminum standoff spacers that use the top four factory mounting holes, holding the panel securely away from the tailgate so the vent can still function properly.
