I have got to admit I have never seen anyone bet their bearings so proficiently. When we filled bearings we used a sweeping motion, I think I like your method better, looks like it gets the job done much faster.
Well as fan and an xj owner myself with long arm / Travel custom built by me and a 4-link coil spring upgrade instead of Leaf springs this tire carrier is much too heavy and then to having to hang a oversized 32x12.50 x 15 tire and wheel on it will overtake the enjoyed spring rates the owner enjoyed prior to install. They fail to mention this and how expensive the alternatives to buying extra spring for both leaf springs or coils, to compensate. This is an upgrade that would be wise at time of build. It’s is HIGHLY recommended
Bleepinjeep could you do another video on a different rear tire carrier? This is an awesome video, I love to see it w a different tire carrier. The JCR is cool but @ $1800 (after you add the powdercoat and brackets for rotopack+jack) it is crazy expensive. Think of all the other things you could do w/ that $$$$. Are there any other rear tire carriers you'd recommend?
dumber is that it completely covers the license plate. I have never liked a swing-away tire carrier. I like having sight out my rear window. I carry my spare on my roof rack, plus there, it's weight is evenly distributed on the vehicle.
I can tell you exactly how it's held up. Quite well. Latch still works. Only lube the pin occasionally or it will stick. Jeep has run a lot of washes and rough roads. Minor rattle. I run a 33 10.50 15 to reduce weight. Also installed a rear camera.
Those tires are no joke!!! I thought you were kidding, I can't imagine how difficult it would be changing a tire on one's own!, looks amazing, someday I wish I can do that to my XJ
This is a great looking carrier BleepingJeep. Very good design. Is the latch a two stage catch?. Just like a car door type. I don't want to be picky but I think you have installed the grease seal upside down. That thin section of rubber that stands up that you faced down is meant to rub on a flat surface on the stub axle and seal out dirt/sand. If you look at the steel section of the seal, look at the end you are hitting with the punch carefully you will notice it has a chamfer. This makes starting or inserting the seal into the housing easy. Trailer axel seal it is and they are fitted this way. Also grease the seal's lips before fitting on to the stub shaft or axel. The main lip is the one with the small tension spring on the inside of it. The way you fitted it this spring is now exposed to the weather or elements. Springs are only on good quality seals. I like all the work you do on the Jeeps. It's good to see someone having a go.
Hey! Question for you, do you still own this bumper and tire carrier? I have the same one but for my 03 TJ. I have all of the accessory parts except for the rotopax mounts. Unfortunately, JCR discontinued the bumper/tire carrier and the accessory parts. I have reached out and they said they wouldn't be able to help. I am wondering if you are able to take some measurements for me so that I can have a set fabricated. Unless of course you are willing to sell them! Let me know! Thanks!
Awful design. Way, way too heavy. What's the point if you can't lift the tyre on by yourself? Mailman driving everywhere with you? And the reason it's sagging, besides the excessive weight, is the fact you haven't tightened the bearings up enough. Get a 3/4 knuckle bar and put some hurt on it. And change the bloody seal.......
I guess if he ever has to change a tire out there, he'll just leave the flat one behind..........or wait for someone to come along and help him put it on his carrier.
breathe and squeeze rule number one of wheeling, Never go out alone. Also, pretty sure he’s screwing around. I bet he can easily lift a 40 with beadlock wheels.
Unsubscribe to rough country.com and I'm having a problem with my pitman arm and the thing is Frozen on their tight how do you do that for a Jeep Wrangler 87
This video is 7 years old and this is still one of the best looking tyre carriers on the market. The only thing I don’t like is that it blocks the indicators a bit.
I've been looking for something JUST like this, but for the WJ Grand Cherokee. Got any links to one? I won't how hard it would be to modify one of these to work with a WJ?
I like that, wonder if its still available 7 years later,wouldn't mind having 1 made from aircraft grade aluminum, but would angle it outward at the 2 ends so tire and rack has a bit more space tween it and the back of the XJ rear hatch!😏
Derik Card if you require only one use IF your very careful, from the Harbor freight bearing and race drivers, when if you are willing to spend just a little more an American made set by any manufacturer would be the better and safer advice. They will tend to out last their owner and the next owner. Hoping no one took your advice and bought the Chinese version im sure they are missing a finger or hand or something. I try never to recommend Chinese junk. It’s dangerous. I know this is an old post, but one day it’s likely to come back to bite you, referring harbor freight hand tools. Not sure why we even let them off the ship. It’s not worthy of the name tool.
I screwed up and bought the OR FAB Cut n Fold rear bumper. It's a great bumper, but I want a tire carrier, so I can use the back for more camping gear.. Gonna have to make a custom hitch carrier now..
I have got to admit I have never seen anyone bet their bearings so proficiently. When we filled bearings we used a sweeping motion, I think I like your method better, looks like it gets the job done much faster.
It's hard to tell since I'm watching on my phone.. but I think you put the seal in backwards.. it looked like the lip (with spring) was facing out.
Great vid, I used coiled wire for my license plate lamp and 3rd brake lamp on my TJ, helps with the swing out.
i'm watching your videos, and i don't even have an XJ, one day i will.
same here.. don't hurt to dream wright?
+javier hernandez yup I hear the 1999 had the best engine
+Jose Pt Tellez nope nope nope....98 is the last good year after that they have block cracking issues.
Not block cracking , 0331 stamped heads have head cracking issues
bentovergarage Wrong
Should add a grease fitting to the hinge so you can grease it without taking it all apart again.

That seal is upside down....
3:19 the neighbors are gonna think I'll be doing something else lol
lmao
This is much better thought out than some others ones I've seen. I really like the small thoughtful details incorporated into it.
Bleepinjeep could you do another video on a different rear tire carrier? This is an awesome video, I love to see it w a different tire carrier.

Did anyone else notice that this tire carrier entirely blocks BOTH reverse lights?
Yes lmao! Jeeps have never been much about safety.
The bumper has cutouts for LED lighting
Real men don't ever need to go backwards!
who are reverse lights for anyway?
dumber is that it completely covers the license plate. I have never liked a swing-away tire carrier. I like having sight out my rear window. I carry my spare on my roof rack, plus there, it's weight is evenly distributed on the vehicle.
Seal upside down flat metal part always faces out now you have to take it back off n fix it!!!🤣
Lip seals always face the bearing! Really won’t matter on this particular application...😂
Very nice I subscribe cause my pore 96 Jeep is parked bad knocking. Going to put new motor in soon. And want to fix it up thanks for your help
Any rattling or anything with time? Sweet bumper but curious about how the latch held up, want to get one myself
I can tell you exactly how it's held up. Quite well. Latch still works. Only lube the pin occasionally or it will stick. Jeep has run a lot of washes and rough roads. Minor rattle. I run a 33 10.50 15 to reduce weight. Also installed a rear camera.
@@hopefloats7573 sweet, good to know, thanks a lot dude!
I drilled holes and add grease nipple in my tire carrier so I can top up my grease
That looks so well made and expensive. Great vid
I have never saw anyone pack a wheel bearing like that. It gave me a good laugh.
retiredppd I thought you push it in from your palm, not pat it in
You have to admit that it did work though.
Easily the most R-rated BleepinJeep video out there
retiredppd That’s actually how you packet dumbass
Sounds like Rudy is an expert in packing
Love the mail man helping lift the tire Lol
Damn man...I let my son watch this & ur on the screen greasing up and slappin that bearing.
Now it just needs to have a little crane installed on the carrier to lower and raise the wheel.
Dude. Impacted on spare. How's that coming off on the trail? 😂
Impact on the trail!! Lol i always carry my 1/2 Drive Dewalt XR 20V 1200ft-lb torque impact with me!!! I do not carry a 4-way anymore!!!!
I worked in the shipping department at JCR for a little while. those tire carriers were fun to box up lol
tyler geipel everything comes in rectangular boxes now with foam.
yep, spraying that foam in the boxes got interesting at times lol
14:00 take out the air. It's gonne be lighter 😂
add some helium
Maybe they'll smarten up and make the carrier out of aluminum light and strong
What color is that XJ. I did that.
That unit looks SHARP! I like it!
Any reason for installing the seal upside Down??
Glad im not the only one who noticed that
@@davebrisson3896 DITTO! I was like WTF? Lol..
Good morning they ship the products to Perú?
I love your channel I just bought a 1991 and your jeep is the inspiration for how I want to build my jeep! thank you for your channel and great feed!
Those tires are no joke!!! I thought you were kidding, I can't imagine how difficult it would be changing a tire on one's own!, looks amazing, someday I wish I can do that to my XJ
So installed this and found I now have to remove the back window wiper arm...uhg! I thought I was done.
Before installing the spindle to the bumper you can use it to set the lower bearing.
Mom-“what are you watching?!?” Me-“How to pack grease”
Very cool.
What color paint you got on that XJ? Want to put it on my bronco
Friendly mailman not included
how many times did u put that part on loosely

God bless your mailman!
Nice install. Looks solidly built.
Where can I find this setup do they sale this anymore?
3:39 Sounds like my room at 11pm when I was 16
I wish they'd make some of this stuff for my 4Runner!
Nice jeep!
Do they make this anymore? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
This would definitely be worth the time to do
I have an 01 Cherokee with no rust whatsoever on the body
Total weight of bumper and tire carrier portion? (without tire, hilift etc)
Is that bumper and carrier still available?
HOLA, DONDE SE PUEDE COMPRAR ESA BISAGRA DE RODAMIENTO? QUÉ NOMBRE TIENE? ESTOY ATENTO GRACIAS.
very good!
love his videos how could I get some bleeping jeep stuff
Who cares about a seal? Lol. Dude rocks. Does way more work than most of you people have ever done. 😂😂. Shit happens guys.
finally got my xj.. what's the totol cost on that setup?
Brother, you are very intelligent and are great at these DIY's but you need to hit the weights mate.
Yeah, never put wheels on your ride bigger than you can lift!
Can not contact them because they want information that I do not have for a general question.
does anybody know if the bumper and tire carrier in this video will work on a mj
I was waiting on you to put the spare on a jack to get it up to the carrier.

id like to see most people try to lift a 35 with wheel. not to mention generals weigh three times a normal tire...
tom Placentia The General tire with the Raceline wheel weighs 92lbs.
pretty sure you put that seal in backwards
gotta tighten up that bumper.. or weld it on... when you lifted the tire carrier, you could see the bumper bending from the jeep
azzkicker1337 well, maybe with some body stiffeners...
09:05 - did anybody else laugh at this misfortune lol
how embarrassed would you were with a girl and a tire needed to be changed, and you can't even lift it up?
Awful design. Way, way too heavy. What's the point if you can't lift the tyre on by yourself? Mailman driving everywhere with you? And the reason it's sagging, besides the excessive weight, is the fact you haven't tightened the bearings up enough. Get a 3/4 knuckle bar and put some hurt on it. And change the bloody seal.......
Good idia sir
I wonder where do u install your rear view camera if the tire carrier is installed and the tow bar
Rear camera is above license plate in center of wheel.
What color is your Jeep? It's pretty much exactly what I want!
Army green? I think its a custom colour.
I have to say that I really enjoy your videos. Just bought a 98 zj. Hoping to build an overland out of it.
Hello, thank you for your video, it is very detailed.
I've been looking for that rear bumper for a while, do you know if I can buy it somewhere?
How much total for bumper and the carrier? I know depends on vehicle. Mine is 1991 Ford Bronco XLT..
I guess if he ever has to change a tire out there, he'll just leave the flat one behind..........or wait for someone to come along and help him put it on his carrier.
or throw it in the cargo area
breathe and squeeze rule number one of wheeling, Never go out alone. Also, pretty sure he’s screwing around. I bet he can easily lift a 40 with beadlock wheels.
I like the design BUT it blocks your whole Back Window. I thought I saw it had spacers to go under the Spindle to raise it for sag.
Where did you get the XJ painted? Looks like a pretty good paint job.
No matter how hard I try I can find this type of bumper set. Can I please get a response as to where to find this bumper set!?!?
Would this fit on a zj??
Unsubscribe to rough country.com and I'm having a problem with my pitman arm and the thing is Frozen on their tight how do you do that for a Jeep Wrangler 87
+Gary King use a pitman arm puller
soo if u really need that tire how are u A. gonna get it off since its air gunned on....and B put that dead tire on the spare tire holder?
bentovergarage breaker bar
bentovergarage put the bad tire in the vehicle
Wow kiero uno para xj👍👍
What is the price
This video is 7 years old and this is still one of the best looking tyre carriers on the market. The only thing I don’t like is that it blocks the indicators a bit.
What color would you call the paint job on your truck?
Those birds chirping are so peaceful
The color of your Jeep is just awesome!
Do they still make this tire carrier?
They have a vanguard bumper but I dont see the carrier.
you have to take the plate off to take the spare off ? spare tires impacted on how are you gonna get it off on a trail
suchasreallife
Mall crawlers don't go on the trail lol
suchasreallife
AAA going to take that tire off. Kid can't even lift his 34 10s lol
Yeah that would be super tough to take the license plate off....
Is it strong enough to hold my 33" by 12.50 tire?
Garrett Plasters definitely. I sat on top of my tire and I'm a solid 250. I have the same exact setup as this guy
This bumper is not offered for the YJ.
Why are parts for it so hard to find for example my local junkyard dont have any pcms for these xj's
They haven’t made em since 2001.
Hard to find? Jeep Cherokee parts are super easy to find 🤔
the pice with the 4 bolts on 10:43 its upside down
really nice videos tho! just saying
A bomb proof spindle huh? I'll have to test that...
Se7enAte would love to see a video!
+BleepinJeep I second that
I've been looking for something JUST like this, but for the WJ Grand Cherokee. Got any links to one? I won't how hard it would be to modify one of these to work with a WJ?
Hey matt do you know if they still over this bumper set up i dont see it on their site i really want this rear bumper
Where did you find that f
Farm jack? I looked for a gold one to match my truck
I did not know Jay Baruchel was into off road fabricating.
I like that, wonder if its still available 7 years later,wouldn't mind having 1 made from aircraft grade aluminum, but would angle it outward at the 2 ends so tire and rack has a bit more space tween it and the back of the XJ rear hatch!😏
bearing race driver set from harbor freight for about $15-20 bucks would help tremendously in setting that seal...
also a bearing packer for about the same price...

What's this guy do for a living? That's a lot of money in the rig
I want an xj now
Great video, but you have to train strenght man.
I sure would like to purchase just the latch assembly and the locking pin assembly for a custom project I'm working on
