Thanks for the Jeep content it definitely has helped a lot. I was wonder if you ever made an install video for the Road Armor fenders? I really just have one question which is how did you run the DRL light wire. I’m planning to install mine once my liners get in and I want the wires to be touched away. Thanks
I took the stock spare tire carrier off my TJ to put in a rear bumper/spare tire carrier. I also didn't get an inspection for over 3 years and didn't realize I needed that 3rd brake light to pass😅. I zip tied that light to the aftermarket carrier and ghetto rigged the wiring barely good enough to get to the shop and pass inspection haha
For that reason (mainly total weight, view, and Cheap😳)... I have 37’s and have a used 33 as a Spare (tire cover)... After all it’s a Spare! 🤪 If I flat it’ll get Me off the Trail, or Home... I did change out the Carrier with the Rugged Ridge (no Tail Gate Hinge) to replace the Plastic one.... We all know those that don’t even carry a Spare ! ....So far two years and all’s still good... Entertaining Video Matt ! 🍺
Uga dooga's are real! In Germany its referred to as "Gooten Tite" Great vid Matt! Love your attention to detail bro. You have to call Jeremy your "lovely assistant" next time you guys do a build.
That's a cool setup, but I imagine that to change the tire would suck. You'd need to remove the brake light entirely to get at the tire. I do know though that you aren't changing that thing alone, haha, I have a hard enough time with the 33s on my TJ!
Makes the video look awesome when wifey helps the hubby. My lady wanted me to leave my Jeep stock 🙄 I said "Ok" and a few days later I added 35s and two weeks after I added a 4.5" lift 😜😜 Now I'm thinking about getting 37s or 39s, upping gear ratios to handle them and maybe a Ripp Supercharger 🤔 Sorry, but you don't tell a Jeep owner to leave it stock and expect him/her to listen LOL!!! 😂🤣😂
So to change a flat tire you will need extra tools like a tork bit kit on hand and a highlift jack of some sort . Great install and I agree on the tub openings being covered maybe they should make a seal for them or you could use some big rubber O rings to fill the gap so water don't find its way in because we all know Jeeps like to rust 😂
That lettering from Ignore city will come off easy with a heat gun, just warm it enough to loosen the glue and then alcohol will get the sticker glue off. Do not just aim the heat gun at one spot on the paint though, just warm it enough to loosen the glue.
@4:45 It's easier to take the inner plastic panel of the tailgate off, unclip the third brake light & camera wires and then push the grommet and wires out of the tailgate from the inside. This way you don't have to mess with taking the third brake light housing all apart on the vehicle.
Hi I love your videos keep up the great work Are you sure this mount can handle 40’s And also I have the moose reinforced hinges is installation the same with that
It looked like the tire was touching the tail light when you opened it to clear the glass? Might want to check? Hate to see you break it. Keep up the great work my friend and don't forget us XJ guys..LOL...
Awesome video, Just wondering if since installed have you had any issues with the RR? Any rust issues with the unit or hardware? Have the hinges given you any problems? Can't decide between the Mopar or this one. Teraflex makes a nice one but it's out of my price range. Thanks for the help.
When you closed the door at the end , it looked like the bottom of the door was twisted closer to the body / impacted before the door latched...is that what you saw at the end of the install? Thanks!
I really want to find those 2 sided lug nuts by themselves. I want to use them to mount a license place inside the spare tire wheel, any ideas where I could find them?
The JL tailgate is super strong, according to Jeep, it can handle 85lbs more on top of what the stock spare weighs. So just weigh your stock spare add 85lbs and that will be your max overall spare weight. Unless you plan on running 37s plus, you don't need a reinforcement.
stupid question here, lol what is the name of that power tool that you use for removing the bolts? what are all the attachments called that you need to use for the torx bits for the jeep screws and what not?
After installing this rugged ridge tire kit carrier, did hear any rattling or clunking, vibration, or any sounds? Also when you open the tail gait door is it hard to open like stuck and feels like tire is heavy? Since your driving this tires carrier for a while how is it?
Maybe you have seen this maybe not: Some people take the front hub, spindle, and axle shaft from a vehicle with manual locking hubs (most common is a Chevy 10-bolt/Dana 44 hub), then weld the axle shaft to their custom bumper, then bolt/weld the spindle around the shaft. They then weld the outer hub to a tire carrier arm, assemble the hub and presto! Spare tire carrier that won’t ever have hinge sag and you can lock it in any open position via the manual locking hub. Because the hub was originally made to carry a vehicle, it is far more than adequate for a tire carrier. And the whole shebang of pieces can be bought for comparable or lower cost than traditional carrier hinge kits. Plus the locking hub adds flare to your bumper. Just my 0.02, take or leave it
Would a piece of foam work better around where the hinges go through the body to seal it than RTV? Looks like a solid setup ~ price would have been good info.
Your wire routing for the 3rd stop light looks like it will cause you a problem if you have to use your spare tire unless you have a connector that you can unplug. Maybe there is one and I just didn't see it.
how do you like them tires i bought a brand new set for my truck and they are junk wobble and shimmy i have took them to 3 different shops and nobody can get them to balance out new wheels as well
Can someone please make a video on how you are on the trail or even out in the parking lot on how in the heck people can lift a 37 inch (or larger) tire off of a rear mounted carrier and change a tire by themselves???? and put the bad one back on the carrier??? I am pretty sure I couldn't lift one of those by myself.
Go with lighter wheels. Aluminum wheels are lighter. 6-Ply tires are lighter than 10-Ply. It's not hard to shed 15 pounds per tire, just by picking different tires & wheels.
@@bleepinjeep Don't forget to include a very large breaker bar & cheater bar. Your wife will need it, knowing she can't loosen it even with a large torque wrench. I actually have a Harbor Freight SKU 62729 in my JL right now along with impact socket sets. I've also got a 1.5 ton aluminum HF jack in my JL. exactly like in my last ZJ video. Also got them in my MJ, Suburban, and Ford Fusion.
Love the channel been a big fan since the early days keep up the great work! I had a quick question I know this is off topic but I need help, if anyone here or you can point me in the right direction it would help me a lot. Heres whats going on, I have a 1991 jeep cherokee 4.0. 217,000 k miles on it, it was burning oil so I had no choice but open it up and see what is going inside. Took off the head saw bad burnt values so I started with the head took them all out cleanded them up and did value job with compound and that rubber tool to re seat them everything looked perfect after that seat was perfect also value steams where changed few months before this so they looked OK. After the head I saw the block walls where smooth with no cross patterns left, so I took all the pistons out rings where not stuck or brunt they moved freely, next I re hoaned the walls to make the crisscross pattern I removed all the rings and cleaned all pistons up everything was super clean and rings where moving like they where new I also replaced the piston bearings cause they showed sign of wear. Before I put everything back I did a simple test put one piston in and poured oil on top of it to see if oil would drop through the rings left it for 2 days no oil went through I did the same test before I did the hoan and clean up of piston rings and oil fell through within hours. So I thought this was a good sign. after hoaning and ring clean up I believed rings where tight and no blow by was going to happen. Then I put everything back in. the car stared perfect and I thought everything was great then I did compression test each read same reading 125.125.125.125.124 126. So I drove it about 100 miles and oil was below safe line, OKi though maybe the rings need time to set in new block walls but no 1000 miles later I'm burning even more oil then before almost a whole quart every 70 miles that's really really bad. My mistake I feel is because I didn't replace the piston rings ? But they looked totally fine and where moving with ease. Please what do you think I did wrong here? I don't want to give up on this jeep but this is crzy how much oil it's going through I'm willing to take it apart again trying to fix it, currently it has good power no blue smoke but the oil I just disappearing. Sorry this is so long but I'm so lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like you already know more about engines than I do so I'm probably not the right one to advise... Maybe someone else smarter than I will chip in. Are you sure it's not a blown head gasket or cracked head?
Sounds like you already know more about engines than I do so I'm probably not the right one to advise... Maybe someone else smarter than I will chip in. Are you sure it's not a blown head gasket or cracked head?
@@bleepinjeep Replaced head gasket to temp is normal, no signs of cracked head in 91 jeeps the heads where steal and I have no oil leak on the ground. It's just crazy man if you can think of anything or ask someone around in your group that would be great. What should the compression be for a healthy moter 125-155?
I would start by pulling the spark plugs and checking them for signs of oil. Try to narrow down which cylinder(s) are the offending ones. It could only be the rings or valve/valve seals if its getting into the chamber, right? Unless the head or block are worpped enough that's causing the head gasket to have a faulty seal between the block and head. But you would most likely be burning coolant with that too. I'm sorry to hear that, after all that work it's gotta be frustrating to have to do it all again
@@tomd1939 I'm not losing coolant temp is normal I don't see any oil in the coolant I'm just confused how much oil its burning but I still have very good power
I'd much rather have the spare on the tailgate if possible just because of the time and effort it takes to open two separate latches all the time. Plus its much cheaper!
@@bleepinjeep Some bumper mounted options you wont have to use two latches...Road Armor and Roam both have systems that you just open up tail gate and it opens tire carrier with it. But yeah, they get pricey. My road armor stealth fenders+ front and rear bumper+carrier+ shipping to Alaska . It adds up fast.
Did you watch the video? You are like the third comment I have seen on this. Sad how bad the education system is. If you take the bracket that is designed to hold the spare off and replace the bracket then you need to do the light etc.
After 2 years, is this still holding up well with the 37? I'm getting 37s delivered this week (hopefully) and need to replace my stock spare tire carrier and hinges. Was looking at the Evo one but this one seems a bit less expensive and if it does just as well....
Badger Pa Yes you do. Bob McCown is correct. The 3rd brake light mount is attached to the lugs that hold the tire to the spare’s mount. So in order to access and remove the spare’s lugs, you need to disconnect and remove the 3rd brake light. Did you watch the video? While a pain in the ass, there is an assumption that you are not needing the spare that often.
I thought my YJ had too much plastic and extra stuff on it but that was crazy. The tape was hilarious though. I've never seen that used as a factory cover. It does look good with the new hardware.
So if you have to change a tire.... do have to take the back up camera off and the light. It’s great too see your wife helping you...my wife loves to help, having extra hands and eyes and of course “ Options “ on how things go together is .... well let’s just say we have put together IKEA crap together and we are still married. For now 😆
Watching her tighten the stud using the torque wrench reminded me....never use ur back to tighten like she did. Rather, use ur body weight. Dont pull up, push down.
Based on past experiences with the rugged ridge brand........Mopar would be a better choice. I was kinda hoping that MorRyde would release a system for the JL, it'll be a much more secure system and they use bearings that you can grease.
@@LarryRichelli Rugged Ridge is low quality cast parts with close to zero QA checks and the tolerances are not spec'd or checked. Mopar buys from other vendors (tailgate hinge system and lift kits are good examples) where they must meet a particular design requirement as the dealer has to warranty it for at least 2 years. Rugged Ridge is a good economic option, but not a good long term solution with durability in mind.
@@kswyg001 I had ordered the rugged ridge from amazon but canceled after I found this out and bought the Barricade tire carrier. It will let me adjust the wheel both in and out and up and down.
Barricade, Rugged Ridge, Smittybilt- they're all the same, just with different stickers. They are good short term solutions but aren't quite at the same level as the MorRyde, Metalcloak, Teraflex, etc of that sort.
I HATE it when I see a factory tire on a Jeep that has bigger tires. It not only looks uglier than sin but is so incredibly asinine! It's probably my biggest pet peeve about Jeeps
One ring-a-dingy, 2 ring-a-dingies, 3 ring-a-dingies,4. That being said, I’m sure a ring-a-dingy and an oogah duga are pretty much the same thing,right? Spellcheck?🤔
That looks much better 👍 I am a little concerned about making your wife live in the jeep 🤷🏻♂️ I really think it’s about time you let her live in the house like all the other wife’s 😢 come on Matt it’s 2020 , or I will have to notify TWWS .........yes The Wife Welfare Service’s

I've been happy with this kit since the spring of 2019. This solution helped hang a 38 inch tire off the back of my JLUR and it's been solid.
That is awesome your bride is helping on this video! Appreciate the instructional video.
Nice assistant! Gonna be a chore using that spare when needed! Best keep the tools needed in the Jeep to get it off! Great video, great helper!
You are the first person I have seen remove the rear hinge tape in one piece. 🎉🎉

Sounds interesting, never seen that one!
Installed done of these and the bump stop on the rear doesn't touch the tyre so it's nt pushing against anything.. is that a problem?
So now wouldn’t the weak link be the factory latch?
Would a piece of foam work better around where the hinges go through the body to seal it than RTV? Looks like a solid setup ~ price would have been good info.
Prices change, links are in description of the video. I was gonna use foam at first but didnt have the right type or size on hand.

Just picked up a 2018 wrangler JL. Came with 4 35"s and a factory spare. What's the opinion on running a 35" on the factory spare carrier?
It'll probably work but after a few years it might sag a bit.
After 2 years, is this still holding up well with the 37? I'm getting 37s delivered this week (hopefully) and need to replace my stock spare tire carrier and hinges. Was looking at the Evo one but this one seems a bit less expensive and if it does just as well....
Ya its still doing great 👍
Ooga Dooga IS a thing, a sound, really, but a REAL thing.

I thought my YJ had too much plastic and extra stuff on it but that was crazy. The tape was hilarious though. I've never seen that used as a factory cover. It does look good with the new hardware.
You torque the spare down to spec? 🤔 I always just did hand tight or about 50-60 foot pounds
Joe Garofalo II yup, spec for JL spare is 59lbs
@@jaredmonez6373 the spec changes depending on tire size, I would assume it's the same for the spare.
Where did you buy your fender flares and what brand and how much?
Road armor
aint the ones that attached to the back bumber is better? 🤔🤨
Drill some new holes and weld it up.
So if you have to change a tire.... do have to take the back up camera off and the light. It’s great too see your wife helping you...my wife loves to help, having extra hands and eyes and of course “ Options “ on how things go together is .... well let’s just say we have put together IKEA crap together and we are still married. For now 😆
Lol, ya I guess you would need to unscrew the 2 screws then disconnect the wire harness. Not too difficult.
You should have your wife in your vids more. Keep it up
Your wife should help you with more projects 👍🏻👍🏻
Watching her tighten the stud using the torque wrench reminded me....never use ur back to tighten like she did. Rather, use ur body weight. Dont pull up, push down.
Ooga doogas are not real. Ugga duggas are real. 🤣🤣🤣
Technical Technicality
Here's right @bleepinjeep you've lost cool points.
Do you think this one is better than the factory Mopar heavy duty carrier?
Based on past experiences with the rugged ridge brand........Mopar would be a better choice. I was kinda hoping that MorRyde would release a system for the JL, it'll be a much more secure system and they use bearings that you can grease.
@@kswyg001 The mopar kit does not replace the hinges. It just reinforces the tailgate. So how is it better than Rugged ridge?
@@LarryRichelli Rugged Ridge is low quality cast parts with close to zero QA checks and the tolerances are not spec'd or checked. Mopar buys from other vendors (tailgate hinge system and lift kits are good examples) where they must meet a particular design requirement as the dealer has to warranty it for at least 2 years. Rugged Ridge is a good economic option, but not a good long term solution with durability in mind.
@@kswyg001 I had ordered the rugged ridge from amazon but canceled after I found this out and bought the Barricade tire carrier. It will let me adjust the wheel both in and out and up and down.
Barricade, Rugged Ridge, Smittybilt- they're all the same, just with different stickers. They are good short term solutions but aren't quite at the same level as the MorRyde, Metalcloak, Teraflex, etc of that sort.
13:31 Ooops
whos this matt guy? what happened to jeremy? :)
You don't need to lower the tire just get some 40s 🤙🤣
I HATE it when I see a factory tire on a Jeep that has bigger tires. It not only looks uglier than sin but is so incredibly asinine! It's probably my biggest pet peeve about Jeeps
The JL tail gate is much stronger than previous jeeps. Plenty of people are running 35's and 37's on the stock tailgate without problems.
Spare doesn't need to be torqued as high as main wheels
Indeed, not quite the same stresses involved!
what is torque spec on a spare?
@@bleepinjeep 59ftlb
One ring-a-dingy, 2 ring-a-dingies, 3 ring-a-dingies,4. That being said, I’m sure a ring-a-dingy and an oogah duga are pretty much the same thing,right? Spellcheck?🤔
One ringy-dingy two ringy-dingy is when you get a phone call
Joseph Fletcher that makes sense.
That's me right now.. I have a jk.
Tightening the spare the same as the wheels on the vehicle seems a bit excessive
I find it pretty important that your spare tire doesnt fall off and kill someone!
lock tite on the bolts - great - who cares if you kill somebody, just don't want to loose that expensive tire!!!!
That looks much better 👍
I am a little concerned about making your wife live in the jeep 🤷🏻♂️ I really think it’s about time you let her live in the house like all the other wife’s 😢 come on Matt it’s 2020 , or I will have to notify TWWS .........yes The Wife Welfare Service’s
Emphasis on "woah, that things heavy"! :D
Double up ugh ugh...... Again not to be confused with oog oogadooga
Take that dealership sticker off. Especially after the problems you’ve had with them.
whats the best method of removal?
BleepinJeep Wd-40 and a plastic scraper.
BleepinJeep eraser wheel. Works amazing
I thought Jeremy was Matt's "wife."
Sometimes I think that too.
Ooga dooga? No... ugga dugga..
You saved me from writing that exact same thing! 😁
ooga dooga is just ugga dugga in a southern accent.
Matt... puuulease!... it’s Ugga Dugga, *not* ooga dooga
Wifey and I decided its oooga doooga
Being married myself for 30 years I can only agree.
