Question on Mopar tire reinforcement bracket

[Deleted member 102807]

I was able to get a used bracket from a friends 392 Rubi, that came from the factory (I was told). It works fine, but mine doesn’t have the 3 accessory holes? I have the flag/antenna hole but not the others. Could this be a knock off? I think his 392 was a 22 or 23. It was only 50 bucks (It seemed like a great deal). It even has the Jeep badge on it.

Thanks

My 2024 factory OEM one didn't have those extra holes either.

Here’s my 2023 from the factory. Ignore the blacked out emblem. Not sure if changes were every made over the years

Mine looks exactly like yours. Only one flag/antenna hole. On a 2018 JLUR. It's been carrying a 35 since new, and a 37 for the last 4 years. Still tight and solid. Never seen one with extra holes!

I have the Mopar Heavy Duty Spare Tire Reinforcement Bracket too without the other two holes.

I got mine from a dealership and does not have the holes...I did post a thread on this questioning when they changed but got no responses..

Maybe I’m wrong, but compare his pic to what up you and I posted . Here is what I thought the question was about.

I have a 2023 and it does have the 3 threaded holes with plastic plugs in them. I know the 2024's do not have the threaded holes but am not sure when they changed the manufacturing process. I discovered this when looking at/for a Rotopax mount.

Saw this in Members Marketplace. Three holes.

We have two of these, one with the holes, one without.

Thanks for all the reply’s, the big question, which was answered was, was it a knock off, and thankfully it isn’t. Don’t understand Mopar with two of the same but different brackets, but also understand that they never developed anything to go in them.

Also, for what it’s worth, you can’t really see it, but I used the teraflex relocation brackets to raise my tire, worked perfectly.

Mine has the holes, but I admittedly don't know what they could be used for.
If anyone has ideas please speak up.

Hi,

My 22 JLUR has all the holes and flange/flag mount. Mine was ordered from the factory.

Regards,
Jim

If you scroll up a few posts there's a link to a RotoPax carrier which mounts here. But yeah, I haven't seen many accessories for this mount myself.
