JL Spare Tire Delete Kit - Powdercoated Aluminum

Highly recommended! Since I am running 38's I didn't want such a huge tire on the back. This production is perfect. Well designed and EASY install!!!

This is a great product. I recently purchased a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. This was the first year for th JL model. I was looking for a JL Spare Tire Delete Kit. My main concern was the fact that I have a back up camera that was in the center of the spare tire and the brake light is attached to the spare tire holder. No problem. This product was made to accommodate both of these above features. The Artec Industries website has a video that I watched several times prior to buying. I actually called the company after watching the videos on. The phone was answered by a very knowledgeable gentleman who knew about the product and answered my questions quickly. This service and his knowledge definitely supported my decision to purchase this product. The only negative thing was I did not receive instillation instruction with the product. I had someone install this for me as I am not mechanically inclined. The installer simply watched the video and successfully installed the product. My installer noticed that there were 4 holes on the face of the bracket. The base is black and the inside of the 4 holes was silver. I told him I thought I would get som black paint and touch up the silver. He had a better idea. He had some rubber plugs that fit in the holes. I was very happy about that not only did it make the plate look better but it looks like the plugs were sent by the factory. Maybe that’s something the manufacturer should consider. It took about an hour to install. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to remove their spare tire and enhance the look of their Jeep.

Straight forward and painless install thanks to the videos online. Start to finish in under an hour. I can’t say I love the look of a Jeep without the spare but this is definitely the nicest looking delete kit I could find. I ride dirt bikes and use a tow hitch single bike carrier so taking my 100 lb spare off every week was become a real pain in my back.. literally. Surprisingly light, when I received the package I thought for sure they sent the wrong item. Great build quality and I noticed a gentlemen looking at it in the parking lot while I was inside getting coffee. He took pictures so you know he loved it...or posted it to the forums to shame me for getting rid of the spare. Either way I’m happy with the product works great for my needs.

I Love This Product !!! Very Easy To Install. And I kept my 3rd brake light & back up camera. 5 Stars. ??????????

Let me start off by saying this product looks and fits great. Install was very straight forward and easy. The videos really helped! The plate light wiring is a bit more complex but I watched the video a few times before and during the install. The kit has one major flaw, my 2021 Camera is different then the 18-20 models and does not fit their bracket. It falls through the mounting hole since the camera does not have the small screw mounts that are used by the kit. (watching the videos this will make more sense) I used electrical tape to hold the camera in place and it seems to be working just fine. If they update the camera mount for 21+ models I would love to install it and update my review!

Very clean look. The color matched well with my bumpers and the surrounding accents of the Wrangler. The LED lights are a must if city driving and look great and clean as well. Simple install while following along with the Artec YouTube tutorial. I City park in various lots and streets, and that extra room helps when parking in tight spots. Less weight on the vehicle and I carry a tire plug, if needed, with added Roadside Assitance on my insurance.

This product is easily installed. I didn't like the instructions sent with it so I looked at the youtube video by Artec Ind. Took me about 30 minutes to install. The powder coating is nice. The parts came in perfect condition and well packaged. After installation, I wished they would include rubber plugs to replaces the big rubber bumpers that stick out. There are aftermarket ones you can buy but competitors already include them in their "plate delete kit". I also didn't like that the cable for your 3rd brake light as well as the backup cam is totally exposed on the left side. After installing this, I took it for a spin and decided to reinstall my tire. All in all it is good quality but for some reason I didn't like it on my jeep.

Love it. Fits great and easy to install after watching You Tube Video. Only thing I don't understand is why your products do not include directions. I have never seen this before. Not that I would have used them, but sometimes having the little piece of paper makes one feel all warm inside. LOL. Overall camera fits perfect and no complaints.

Very satisfied easy install looks great workers as described

5 stars! Great quality, YouTube video makes install easy and even points out an easy to make gotcha on the camera orientation. Looks awesome as well and can't beat the price.

Recently installed the Artec spare tire delete on my 2018 Jeep JL Rubicon. It is super easy to install and if you have issues or questions the videos are very helpful. I like the clean look of this delete it is a nice weight and the powder coating looks awsome. I would highly recommend this product.

This a great product. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The powder coating is top notch.

I really thought about getting a delete for a while and I finally pulled the trigger. There's a few out there that I'm sure we all searched for and thought about but to me Artec did it best. Obviously that's my opinion but the use of the OEM stop light, the camera placement, and aluminum structure is what ultimately sold me. When I received it everything went together as it should, definitely well made. I used the youtube video to help get everything together but no real issues. Surprisingly removing my 35" allowed me to gain about 2.5mpgs!

Product was exactly as advertised. Love the new look it gives to my Jeep.

After looking at several vendors - and actually ordering and returning - I select the Artec kit and wasn't disappointed. The finish quality was second to none and it was packaged properly so it wasn't damaged in shipping. Installation is trivial - I wanted to go a little further in my install - running the wires behind the plate vs. having them show. Also elected to put in some reverse lights. Best decision ever - great product. Highly recommend

Easy to follow instructions and great looking results. Took me about 20 minutes to remove and install the Jl Tire Delete Kit.

Hands down the best looking spare tire delete kit out there and easy easy install. I spent about half a day looking for one I really liked and as soon as I found artec , I placed the item in my cart and checked out . Easy install, had it about a 6 months , still great color and works the same . Good job !

Well I finally received it and it was unfortunately scratched...lightly scratched, but the lack of durability and gritty finish does not permit me to try to remove it. Overall, it went on great and easily worked with no issues. Well made and the Jeep looks great with it. For me, a huge downfall is the lack of product durability because it is powdercoated with a gritty paint which holds dirt and is obviously easily marred and scratched. Im not sure how to get rid of the scratch but would like too.

I love this spare tire delete kit as it integrates the rear camera and hem brake light seamlessly. I had mine painted to match the body color so it looks OEM and I get lots of compliments on it.

Great fit, easy to install if you use the video. Looks great and I like that it retained the stock brake light and camera height. Also used the license plate light kit.

Directions would have made the order of parts to install much ezer . Took to long to install I thought is was expensive compared to other product out there

A really great product. Best I've seen out there. This has the license plate led light and you reuse the factory 3rd brake light. Installation was a bit confusing at first because no instructions came with it. I found a video that showed how to wire it on youtube.
