Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform Kit
The Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform is the most versatile and capable accessory mounting solution for any Rover running a rear-mounted spare tire. Designed to strap directly to your spare tire, this large aluminum mounting plate transforms wasted space into a fully functional gear-carrying platform, giving you a secure, organized place to run TRED PRO recovery boards, Rotopax, jerry cans, Hi-Lift jack, shovel, and virtually any trail accessory you would otherwise be strapping down or leaving behind. Engineered and assembled in the USA, the platform is built to handle the combined weight and vibration demands of serious off-road use without loosening, rattling, or fatiguing over time. The powder coated matte black finish resists corrosion, UV fading, and trail abuse while delivering a sharp, purpose-built look that integrates naturally with the Defender's working aesthetic.
Installation requires no tools and can be completed in minutes, making this one of the most user-friendly spare tire accessory platforms available for the Defender. The included heavy-duty ratcheting tie-down strap provides simple install and a secure hold on your gear without any modification to your vehicle. Whether you are mounting recovery boards for a day run or loading up with fuel, water, or a Hi-Lift for an extended expedition, the Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform gives you the carrying capacity to do it cleanly and confidently.
This platform is available as a standalone mount or bundled with TRED PRO recovery boards in your choice of color combination, Rotopax, jerry can, Hi-Lift or shovel kits. When ordered as a bundle the kit includes the Lucky 8 Vibration Dampening Hardware Kit (part number LK8DHKTR), which isolates the mount from high-frequency trail vibration and extends the service life of both the hardware and your spare tire. The dampening kit is only included when part of a bundle.Â
If you are looking for a mount that installs fast, carries more, and looks the part, the Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform delivers on every count.

 FAQ
What is included with the Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform?
The standalone platform (part number 9900-0001) includes the large aluminum mounting plate, a heavy-duty ratcheting tie-down strap. Bundle kits that include accessories also come with the Lucky 8 Vibration Dampening Hardware Kit (LK8DHKTR), which isolates the mount from trail vibration. Items shown in product photography such as grills, Rotopax containers, or recovery boards are not included with the platform-only purchase and must be ordered separately.
Does the Lucky 8 Spare Tire Mounting Platform require drilling or modification?
No drilling or permanent modification is required. The platform is designed for a straightforward, no-tools installation and can be mounted and secured using the included ratcheting tie-down strap. This makes it equally practical for owners who want a removable setup or those looking to get up and running on the trail quickly without spending time in the garage.
