I ordered the Surco spare tire basket as I wanted some extra space for a small charcoal grill and cooler as I drive out out on the beach in soft sand that often has ruts that are 24" deep in spots and some hard berms. Why buy a JEEP with great approach angles only to put a trailer hitch rack that defeats the design.. I watch JEEPs and other SUVs bottom out and hit hard enough to have the stuff get bounced out all the time. This basket is a much better option and opens out of the way rather than having to reach over a hitch rack. The overall quality is very good but the support arms were nearly impossible to attach even when following the instructions carefully.
etrailer was on back order but kept me informed every few days. It works great for my purpose and I put thin plywood on the bottom so I can use it is a bar/table.
I have not put more than 30 lbs on it and have had no issues. I have not driven at highway speeds yet but expect it will be fine. I wrapped one layer of Gorilla tape around the end that sticks out of the spare tire wheel, this took up the small amount of play and and gives a more snug secure fit and is squeak/rattle free.
I would suggest that a quick cam release with a lock as an option for this rack that could be used on other Surco racks and hitches rather than have to wrench it on and off, I would buy one.
I would give this a rating of very good for design and quality, if the support arms were a better design then it would be excellent.
I would recommend this item to any JEEP owner.

This has a nice look to it and adds to the outdoor/rugged look of my jeep. But, when it comes to usefulness it fell through. If you plan on going on bumpy roads or anything but a paved highway and carry more than a few teddy bears you will need to find something sturdier. Mine bent and lasted me one trip half way to alaska. I had to get straps to help support the weight as it bent down and threatened to throw our luggage onto the road behind. Recommended product if you don't really weigh it down and keep a smooth drive.

Problems with assembly: Both V support bars on bottom of cargo basket were unable to be attached due to misalignment of pre-drilled holes.

If you loosen the bolt in the center of the V support bar and pull straight up on it, the outlying holes should align. Then, you should be able to tighten the center bolt.

The Tire Mounted Cargo Basket was just what I needed for family trips. It took less than 15 minutes for my daughter and I to put together. The Basket held up well during our first beach drive. Looking forward to using the cargo basket on our next adventure.

Product arrived quickly, I was able to easily put it together, however there was one screw missing, I was able to substitute one of the same size I had in the garage. Other than that, good review. Will use it on my next trip to the beach.

- What Tools are Needed to Put Together the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo BasketTo put together the Surco spare tire mount cargo carrier # SPSJ4319 you will just need basic hand tools like screwdrivers, wrenches/sockets, and that is really about it. To mount it you will need to use the tire tool to take the lug nuts off of the spare tire. Other than that there are no special tools needed for installation. I have included a couple of video links on this carrier for you.
view full answer... - Dimensions of the Shank of the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319The square tubing of the Replacement Back Plate # SPN550 that you referenced is 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch. (See picture). Chances are your cargo carrier is designed to fit IN a 1-1/4 inch hitch and not around a 1-1/4 inch shank like what this product has so it wouldn't fit. Also, since the only style of cargo carrier this product is designed to fit is the # SPSJ4319 I can't recommend it for you. Your best option would be to go with the # SPSJ4319 if a spare tire mounted carrier is what...

view full answer... - Cargo Carrier with Spare Tire Clearance for 2013 Jeep Wrangler RubiconAs a first step, you will need to determine what kind of clearance you will need. Measure from the hitch pin hole rearward until you clear the furthest rearward portion of the spare tire. The cargo carrier you choose will need to have a shank that is longer than that dimension. The FAQ article I've linked for you shows how to take that measurement. If your Wrangler has the stock tire size, this distance will be around 6 inches, but if you have larger tires, this distance could be greater....

- Can I Use Surco Spare-Tire Mounted Cargo Basket On Chevy Roadtrek Spare TireI do have an option for you but the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket part # SPSJ4319 will not install on the 2015 Chevy Roadtrek 190P because of the way your spare tire carrier is mounted. The hardware of the Surco installs between the spare tire mounting plate on the back of a vehicle and the spare tire. Since your spare tire carrier is mounted at the bottom of the frame and is suspended (not mounted to the back of the vehicle) then cargo basket will not be able to install. I recommend...

This carrier measures 19 inches long x 43 inches wide x 5 inches deep and has a weight capacity of 100-lbs. The # SPN550 you mentioned is the replacement back plate for the carrier.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity and Weight of the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319I spoke with my contact at Surco and they said the weight capacity on the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket, part # SPSJ4319, is 100 lbs evenly distributed.

view full answer... - Can the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket Carry 5 Gallons of Gasoline?The Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket - 19" Long x 43" Wide # SPSJ4319 has a 100 lb capacity so it absolutely can carry your 5 gallon can of gas. This carrier however is not intended for off-road use, so if used in that capacity you will be operating outside of the warranty and you will want to make sure the weight is as centered as possible to reduce torque on the shaft and mount. I recommend using the Erickson Roof-Rack Cargo Net - 36" x 48" # EM01010 for loose items and tie down...
view full answer... - Will the Curt 20x60 Cargo Carrier part # C18150 Clear the Spare Tire on a 2011 Jeep WranglerThe Curt Cargo Carrier you mentioned, part # C18150 has a fixed shank that is 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier, which will most likely be enough to clear your spare tire. Just to be sure, I would recommend taking some measurements to confirm. Have a helper hold a straight piece of lumber like a 2x4 up flat against the rear of the spare. Then, measure rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver until you hit the piece of wood. Then,...

If you wanted to install this in a front hitch on your vehicle that would be possible, but you would need to consider the fact that it may block headlights and/or radiator air flow. Another option you have is a spare tire mounted cargo carrier like Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319....

I have used the Surco spare tire rack year round for a year for everything from Surfcasting on the beach, hunting in the North Maine Woods.It has held up great and is a far better choicethan a trailer hitch rack for my needs as it swings out of the way.I did find that it was easy for people to walk into at night so I added small stick on battey powers lights called APALS or All Purpose Adhesive Light Strips. I have a board that fits in that I use for everything from cleaning Striped Bass, Upland birds and it serves as a coffee station in the field.I only hose it off and it has held up great in the salt water areas I go. My Jeep is currently on Nantucket Island.I hope this helps.
