On the 2018 to current JLU, is your spare tire covered or uncovered?

They donā€™t come with one. Some dealers (kinda rare nowadays) will have a dealer cover installed on delivery.

Personally I wonā€™t run one, thatā€™s my Jeepā€™s bling and needs to be shown off.

Uncovered. I wouldnā€™t be able to find a decent cover to fit my spare even if I wanted one.

I was going to post the same question. I kept an aftermarket cover on my previous Jeep's spare. I've got the dealer one on my JL, but I am considering taking it off. The covers with the hole for the backup camera never lie flat, so they look terrible. I just haven't decided yet...

They definitely do not seem as popular with the latest generation given the placement of the camera.

I purchased a compatible tire cover for the spare. The integrated lens hood snaps on the camera with a nice click, and sits correctly. No wrinkles, but the installer has to put the work in to make this so.

The rear view isn't compromised, and being able to see the hitch ball is a nice convenience. The black curvature at the bottom of the screen is the soft top in the lowered position.

I had one for my Jk, but not sure Iā€™ll get one for the Jl. Most likely wonā€™t.

Son bought me one for mine, with the camera cutout, works great. I wouldnā€™t have bought one, butikinda like it now. My old TJā€™s both had ā€˜em as well.

Unless you have a Sahara I never thought spare tire covers looked right and even then I think they should be hard and painted to match the body color

Noooooo waaaay. Uncovered. Looks so much better. U less you have one of those fact covers with a catchy phrase in emā€™. Then u have my permission. The worse are the hard covers. Sorry for anyone who rocks them.

Mine's covered.

Just a plain all black generic with a camera hole.
