Yes this rack has a bracket that mounts in front of the spare tire and then a metal piece that feeds through the center of the tire that the cooler rack attaches to. I think I only used it once on the rubicon trail 4 years ago. It was nice because when I did a hard obstical with some help I could quick disconect the rack with every thing in it and set it to the side then reattach it. It is rated to hold up to 150 lbs.
