Turn Offroad 2021+ Ford Bronco Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Tailgate Reinforcement
The Turn Offroad 2021+ Ford Bronco Heavy Duty Tire Carrier Tailgate Reinforcement is a full spare tire mounting solution designed to eliminate stress on the OEM Bronco tailgate. By shifting the load away from the factory tailgate structure, this system helps address the strain created by heavier tire and wheel combinations, especially when running oversized spare tires.
Built with an all-steel, double plated, and boxed design, this reinforcement system is engineered for strength, durability, and long-term use. It features CNC machined steel hinges, a brass pivot bushing for longevity, and a tailgate stop in the OEM position, creating a more robust mounting setup while preserving practical factory-style function.
Designed for 2021+ Ford Bronco 2-door and 4-door models, the system accommodates up to a 40-inch tire and is compatible with any rear bumper. It can be used with the OEM tire carrier or the Turn Offroad TC4-M1 adjustable tire carrier, making it a flexible upgrade for Bronco owners who need more spare tire support without relying on the factory tailgate alone.

Design and Function
This heavy duty tailgate reinforcement system is designed to solve a major weakness in the factory Bronco rear spare mounting setup. The OEM tailgate is tasked with carrying the weight of the spare tire and wheel assembly, and that load becomes even more demanding when larger aftermarket tires are added.
By providing a full mounting solution that removes that stress from the OEM tailgate, this system helps protect the tailgate from wear, fatigue, and potential damage. The result is a more secure and confidence-inspiring rear spare tire setup for both on-road and off-road use.
Construction and Durability
The system uses an all-steel, double plated, and boxed design to create a strong and rigid structure capable of supporting larger spare tires. This reinforced construction is intended to deliver the strength needed for repeated use in demanding environments.
CNC machined steel hinges add further durability and precision, while the brass pivot bushing is designed for long service life and smoother operation over time. A 3-stage nanotexture powdercoat finish helps protect the assembly while maintaining a rugged appearance.
Fitment Flexibility
This reinforcement system is built to work with any rear bumper, making it easier to integrate into a wide variety of Bronco builds. It also offers flexibility in tire carrier configuration by allowing use with either the OEM tire carrier or the Turn Offroad TC4-M1 adjustable tire carrier.
Threaded holes are built into the design to support accessory mounting, and the system is also compatible with the Turn Offroad license plate relocation kit. These details make it a more adaptable option for customized rear spare tire setups.
Installation Details
The kit is designed for easy bolt-on installation, allowing owners to reinforce the rear spare tire mounting system without extensive fabrication. It also includes a tailgate stop positioned in the OEM location, helping preserve familiar tailgate operation and alignment.
This combination of straightforward installation and heavy duty construction makes the system well suited for Bronco owners looking to upgrade spare tire support while maintaining a clean and functional rear-end layout.
Why It Stands Out
This heavy duty tire carrier tailgate reinforcement stands out by fully removing spare tire stress from the OEM tailgate while supporting up to a 40-inch tire. Its all-steel boxed construction, CNC machined hinges, brass pivot bushing, and compatibility with any rear bumper give it the strength and flexibility needed for serious Bronco builds.
For owners looking to move beyond the limitations of the factory tailgate-mounted spare setup, this system provides a durable and well-engineered foundation for larger tire support.
