Armordillo CR1 Tire Carrier

 

Armordillo CR1 Tire Carrier is designed for customers who want a clean above-bed spare tire solution for trucks equipped with compatible Armordillo CR1 Chase Rack applications. This tire carrier helps move the spare tire into a more accessible position while supporting a rugged off-road and overland-ready appearance. It is a strong upgrade for customers who want their truck bed setup to look more complete while keeping a full-size spare easier to reach during trail use, road trips, work travel, and outdoor adventures.

Carrying a spare tire becomes more important when a truck is used away from smooth pavement, especially when larger tire packages, trail routes, remote roads, or long-distance travel are part of the build. The CR1 Tire Carrier helps support that need by placing the spare above the bed instead of relying only on an under-bed spare location or loose cargo-area storage. This gives customers a more organized truck bed layout and a more prepared look for off-road and adventure-focused use.

The above-bed tire carrier layout is especially useful because it helps preserve usable bed space compared with many in-bed spare tire mounting solutions. Instead of laying a spare tire flat across the floor of the truck bed, the carrier positions the tire with the CR1 Chase Rack structure. That helps customers retain more room for coolers, tools, recovery gear, camping equipment, storage boxes, and other cargo needed for work or travel.

Armordillo builds the CR1 Tire Carrier as a steel bolt-on carrier designed to install to compatible CR1 Chase Rack applications. The matte black finish gives the carrier a clean, aggressive appearance that pairs well with black wheels, off-road bumpers, bed racks, recovery gear, lighting mounts, and other exterior accessories. The result is a tire carrier that adds useful function while matching the rugged styling customers expect from a chase rack and off-road truck build.

The carrier is designed to support up to a 37 in. tire on an angle when used with the correct compatible CR1 Chase Rack setup. This makes it a practical choice for customers who have upgraded to larger tires and want the spare tire to match the rest of the vehicle. Proper tire size, tire weight, rack compatibility, bed clearance, and vehicle setup should be confirmed before installation so the final configuration works safely and cleanly.

The Armordillo CR1 Tire Carrier is also a useful add-on for customers building a more complete bed-area accessory system. It works naturally with the visual style of the CR1 Chase Rack and helps reinforce the truck's off-road profile from the rear and side. The carrier does not include the chase rack or auxiliary lights, allowing customers to add it as part of a compatible CR1 setup based on how the truck is already equipped.

Whether customers are upgrading for off-road travel, overlanding, trail weekends, work-truck use, larger tire packages, recovery readiness, or a more complete chase rack build, Armordillo CR1 Tire Carrier delivers above-bed spare tire storage with rugged styling and CR1 Chase Rack compatibility. Now Available at LEER!
