Eliminate Tailgate Sag. Supports 40"+ Tires. 100% Bolt-On Reinforcement.
Trail-Proven Strength for Your JKBased on the best-selling TC3‑M1 tailgate reinforcement system, the Turn Offroad transforms your JK’s rear end into a secure mounting point for oversized tires and heavy-duty upgrades. Engineered to eliminate the notorious weak points of the factory tailgate and hinges, this system ensures safe, shake-free performance—even with 40″+ spare setups.
This isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade—it’s a structural necessity built on a legacy of off-road testing. Whether you're running 35", 37", or even larger tires, plus roof racks and gear, this carrier ensures your tailgate performs reliably for years to come.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: The stock Jeep JK tailgate is notorious for sagging, flexing, and eventually cracking the factory welds when carrying larger tires, leading to loud rattles and difficult closing.
The Turn Offroad Solution: Our system replaces fragile stock welds with a precision-welded steel frame that distributes loads evenly, preventing long-term wear and damage.
Key Features
Replaces fragile stock hinge welds with a laser-cut steel frame to prevent sag, flex, and long-term metal fatigue.
Integrated mounting points for antennas, jacks, or hi-lift mounts—no drilling or extra brackets required.
Crafted from thick, precision laser-cut steel with structural bracing to handle the weight of big tires without degrading.
No drilling or welding required. It installs directly to factory tailgate and hinge locations in approximately 1–2 hours.
Designed to be fully compatible with tire-mounted backup cameras, maintaining your vehicle’s safety functionality.
Engineered to work seamlessly with both factory and most aftermarket rear bumpers.
Every frame is precision-welded to ensure load distribution is perfectly even across the entire tailgate structure.
Built based on a proven legacy and designed specifically for serious off-road use in technical terrain.
Engineered for LongevityTurn Offroad doesn't do "decorative." This reinforcement kit is a trail-proven necessity. Give your JK back the strength it deserves—tight, rugged, and ready for anything. The JKTC-01 uses structural bracing to handle the extreme leverage of 37" and 40" tires.

"I was terrified of my tailgate welds popping after I moved to 37s. The Turn Offroad reinforcement was a breeze to install—bolt-on just as advertised. No more squeaks or rattles on the washboard roads, and the accessory mounts made adding my hi-lift jack incredibly simple. Highly recommended for any serious JK owner."
- Mark D., JK Wrangler Owner Don't Wait for the SagCheck Your Hinge Welds: Most JK owners don't realize their tailgate is failing until they see cracked paint around the hinge welds. By reinforcing your tailgate now, you prevent permanent sheet metal damage and expensive body repairs later.

Yes. Most rattling in the JK tailgate comes from the spare tire vibrating against the sheet metal or sagging hinges. The JKTC-01 provides a rigid, braced structure that eliminates this movement and noise.
No. The accessory mounting points are integrated into the steel frame during manufacturing. You can mount jacks and antennas directly to the reinforcement without any drilling.
Absolutely. The carrier is compatible with factory backup camera setups and most aftermarket relocation kits.
While designed for 40"+ tires, this reinforcement handles significantly more load than the factory hinges by distributing the weight across a much larger surface area and utilizing structural bracing.

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
