Turn Offroad Universal Offroad Spare Tire Storage Rack / Offroad Ice Chest Carrier
The Turn Offroad Universal Offroad Spare Tire Storage Rack / Offroad Ice Chest Carrier is a low-profile cargo solution designed to mount directly to an externally mounted spare tire. Built for camping, trail use, and everyday hauling, this rack provides a practical way to carry extra gear without taking up interior cargo space.
Designed to fit spare tires from 33 to 40 inches, the rack secures to the tire using two tie-down straps routed through the wheel and rack for a stable mounted setup. It can accommodate most standard-sized ice chests, including up to a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler, making it a useful option for off-road travel, overland setups, and general outdoor use.
The rack also features removable side panels that allow it to function either as a basket or as a more open platform for oversized cargo. With easy installation and removal, plus universal fitment for vehicles with an externally mounted spare tire, it offers flexible utility in a compact and adaptable design.

Design and Function
This spare tire-mounted storage rack is designed to create usable exterior cargo space for gear that would otherwise take up room inside the vehicle. Whether used for camping equipment, trail gear, or a cooler, the rack provides a simple way to expand carrying capacity using the vehicle’s externally mounted spare tire.
Its low-profile design helps keep the setup compact while still offering enough space for practical cargo. This makes it especially useful for off-road vehicles, overland rigs, and daily drivers that need occasional external storage without committing to a permanent rear cargo system.
Mounting System
The rack mounts securely to the spare tire using two tie-down straps that route around the spare, through the wheel, and then through the rack. This mounting method is designed to help prevent the straps from slipping off or coming loose during use.
Because the rack mounts against a rubber tire surface, some movement while driving is considered normal. Tire pressure and the firmness of the rubber can affect how much movement is present in real-world use.
Basket and Platform Versatility
The side panels of the basket are removable, allowing the rack to be used in two different ways depending on the cargo being carried. With the side panels installed, it functions as a basket to help contain gear such as a cooler or loose cargo.
When the side panels are removed, the rack can be used as a platform for items that exceed the width or length of the basket. This added flexibility makes it easier to carry a wider variety of cargo shapes and sizes.
Use Cases
This rack is intended for a broad range of uses, from carrying an ice chest on a camping trip to hauling extra trail gear on rugged off-road routes. It is also suitable for more casual everyday use when additional cargo capacity is needed.
Its ability to fit most standard-sized ice chests, including up to a Yeti Tundra 45 cooler, makes it especially practical for weekend travel, outdoor recreation, and mobile basecamp-style setups.
