Spare Tire Storage Rack?

Hi- I am looking to add a little extra storage on outside of our Rubicon 4xe. I am wondering if our factory setup will hold either of these options or something similar? We are planning on storing bags or maybe a Jackery or things like that. We have factory tires on there. I have heard that tailgate and hinges can’t carry much weight but mostly see that debate with larger tires. If we have factory tires would we be ok to add these?




Thanks for any insight and help!

Yeah - I figured we would put firewood maybe or our Jackery or things like that. Not water or fuel or anything like that. Is there an easy way to increase how much weight that spare tire could handle? I was hoping since it wasn't a larger tire I would have some weight room there to work with for carrying extra stuff but sounds like I won't.
