Our proprietary dual-stage latching mechanism and "pre-load" design prevent vibration and wobbling to help ensure whether you are on the toughest off road trail or loading gear into the back of your Jeep.

The secret to our tire carrier's success is our in house designed and constructed greasable hub assembly. Instead of a single bearing like, we use dual tapered bearings for smooth and consistently reliable operation.

Options
Longer off road excursions require more cargo and fuel. Our design is the perfect platform for accessories. Our optional heavy duty driver and passenger side Tank Mounts and Cargo Rack bolt on to our tire carrier to give you space you need for extended range or duration trips.

With the addition of our rear bumper comes the opportunity to also protect your exposed and critical muffler. Our bolt-on RH-5001-A Muffler Shield mounts to existing holes on our rear bumper giving you a plate of solid 3/16" steel armor. Once your muffler goes your trip is over and it's time to call a tow rig. This simple addition to your RH4x4 rear bumper gives you peace of mind and increased capability.

Why don't you offer recessed lighting like some other brands?
Rock Hard 4x4 parts must work as good as they look and in the real world the reverse lighting solutions offered by other brands don't function very well at all. When reversing, you don't need lighting straight back - you need lighting back and to the sides to help guide you in the dark. That's why we don't lock you into a poor solution that's in reality a gimmicky solution. Instead, we suggest you mount your choice of back up lights to the top of our bumper, on the sides, and aim them at angles.
