It was weather striping... I had intended to have it between the two to avoid scratching the paint... it was having a hard time sticking to the raptor lining...
I think the updated kit comes with spacers to put at the indented part of the tailgate. Hoping to install mine this weekend after raptor lining last weekend. Need to figure out my wiring first though. The raptor liner made the tolerance in the camera mount a little close so need to shave off a little bit. Great video here too. You saved my butt already a few times lol.
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD well you guys got me thinking. After the local show, hearing all the talking points and seeing some of whats out. But unfortunately that will have to wait. I got axles to fix lol
Does the company send the shims. Seems like they should. The reason I asked is because you said at one point that we could use washers. Seems like they should have sent shims or do they come from mopar?
Lmao.. raptor liner, we actually did a video on how to do it. I would not recommend rattle cans to paint this part... raptor lining is cheap, durable and simple
I did the motobuilt one so much better then factory. Man I wish I didn't spray paint it but will fix it in the future. If me and the wife and kids are ever your way or your on the east coast let us know would love to do Florida wheeling and you'd have a free place to stay in the oldest city in the USA. St augustine fl. Keep up the awesome work.
I started off spray painting this... and realized how bad of a choice it was 😂 Definitely! Florida will 100% be a destination for us in the future! Definitely appreciate the offer! Thanks for the encouragement! 🙌🙌🙌 we appreciate the time and support!
Hi JL Life What's the distance from the bottom of tire to ground ? Curiosity gets the best of me when deciding whether or not to add a JL to my Jeep family. Finally changing from all 2 doors to some 4 door car's ( off road toys ) most trails in my local area has 36" to 43" drop offs. Just looking to see what clearances are available if or when I add another family Jeep.
update I didn't need a press for the bushing pieces. And they came with brackets to put where the old hinges were so you shouldn't need shims. Mine lines up thankfully first try. We just put it on today 6/23/20 Im not sure about the 3rd brake light. I really hate there is no instructions.
Yes.... I have a white light sitting behind the LP... but ... technically.. it’s not illuminating the plate... Iv discovered being cordial and polite with law enforcement... gives u a lot of leeway lol. On a different note... I heard they have redesigned their carrier slightly... I think adding a 3rd brake light and lp lamp are included now? I’d ask them before buying thou... I’d feel bad if it was not accurate lol
Reasons why in ways I’m not looking forward to my PSC rear bumper and tire carrier, but knowing the carrier will secure the tire better is definitely a sense of relief. Bumper installs in general are a two person job even if you may only need the person for 10-15 mins. Awesome install video, just wanting to go with the bumper tire carrier combo for my Jeep, but I did consider doing one of these setups. Did you think about the Mopar tailgate reinforcement? How large of a tire can the carrier handle(weight)?
This carrier should function as a reinforcement plate as well.. it’s rated to hold up to a 40 inch tire... it’s been holding up great... iv been vertical enough to jam up tht spare tire into the ground and zero issues... same goes with the raptor lining... I didn’t realize psc made bumpers???? I wanted to avoid a bumper mounted carrier just because how far they stick out of the back of the jeep.... we had one on mistys.... it broke when she hit it climbing something
JL LIFE OFFROAD I was kinda wanting a tire cage, which I thought there would be more out on the market by now for the JL’s but only Genright has that carrier system but I’ll stick with PSC even though it’s more weight on the Jeep. What are your thoughts about putting too much weight on the Jeep with steel versus aluminum parts? Are you going to get aluminum fender flares(metalcloak, or PSC......well when they come out with them)?
Awesome thanks, funny to. How you liking those milstare tires. I have km3 omG they are heavy but tough as hell. Watch other people get flats on trails, and km3 don't break sweat
Iv been eyeballing them km3 when these go out.. so far.. the tire been good to me... Biggest issue was balancing the darn thing... and as I have learned.. balancing beads and these tires ain’t mixing as well as I hoped... seems to be eating up the inside of the tire... I think the soft composition of the tire plays into it.. ima need to pull em out after moab
Both carriers are great... iv also heard that cavfab has redesigned their carrier and has added extra strength and incorporated the brake light and license plate lamp. Thou I haven’t seen it... Now the only advantage for rusty over the cavfab... it comes pre coated... one less thing to stress over... however I absolutely HATE the license plate relocation bracket on the Rusty’s... such a pain in the butt! Ultimately both carriers have been holding up well... and if coating the bare steel (cavfab) ain’t an issue... pick tht one!
And cost wise... Rusty’s was $700 + 100 for license plate bracket and additional for shipping... Cavfab was $650 and free shipping... brackets included so don’t let the price of powder coating discourage you...
😂 definitely would be more difficult... but not impossible... can always use the long bolt and some washers trick if u don’t have a press... this one goes for $100 at harbor freight.. I bought it from a friend some time ago for $50.
Slowfie. 😒 unsubscribed. Lol. Is that a new jl life decal on the heathen? I'm gonna need a couple new ones. New armor is gonna cover up my other and my 👽 nice carrier. Pain the ass to have put on and take off tho. Can't wait to see the moab movies!
I don’t negotiate with terrorist... Lol good Eye... she in the processes of redoing all her decals. I’m sure we can send u some new ones... black? It is... but once done right... it’s cherry 😎 U know... u can still make it out

At 5:05, what’s the white product on the backside of the carrier? Tape?
It was weather striping... I had intended to have it between the two to avoid scratching the paint... it was having a hard time sticking to the raptor lining...
Ended up not using it
I think the updated kit comes with spacers to put at the indented part of the tailgate. Hoping to install mine this weekend after raptor lining last weekend. Need to figure out my wiring first though. The raptor liner made the tolerance in the camera mount a little close so need to shave off a little bit. Great video here too. You saved my butt already a few times lol.
Iv heard they made some changes based on my review video!
Hope the video helps for the install for the most part... 🙌🙌
Cool install! Was the 3rd brake light omitted?
Yea, I deleted mine… but super easy to do
Is the camera mount and license plate mount all one piece?
Lol yes, they can be separated thou
That's a bit of work, finished product came out nice.
I mean if u think about the importance of a part like this... 🤷♂️
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD well you guys got me thinking. After the local show, hearing all the talking points and seeing some of whats out. But unfortunately that will have to wait. I got axles to fix lol
Hi loved the video. What product are you using behind the carrier at time mark 5:06?
It was weatherstripping… my thought was it would reduce scratches…. But it did not apply well. I cut the idea from the video
Does the company send the shims. Seems like they should. The reason I asked is because you said at one point that we could use washers. Seems like they should have sent shims or do they come from mopar?
They redesigned the carrier since this video.. it don’t need shims no more
It’s about time to see this video bro
Yea! Buddy!
Good video guys
Appreciate it, thanks for watching brother!
How’d you get your painted? Mine came in raw steel
th-cam.com/video/RRDnKvagH8g/w-d-xo.html
👆👆 I did this
Yeah push in and torque them bolts out
Yea... all tht paint in there definitely made it tight like a crabs buttock lol
Because of your video, i ordered one of these today; great job. Awesome carrier
awesome friend! hope this video helps the install go smooth for you!
appreciate u watching our video also! 🙌🙌
its a great carrier! love mine still!
Did it come painted and did it include the shims?
They contacted me to inform me they redesigned the carrier and you don’t need shims... they assured me.. NO SHIMS NEEDED. And it comes bare steel
JL LIFE OFFROAD did you just spray yours with Bedliner?
Lmao.. raptor liner, we actually did a video on how to do it.
I would not recommend rattle cans to paint this part... raptor lining is cheap, durable and simple
I think they charge $100 to powdercoat it.
I did the motobuilt one so much better then factory. Man I wish I didn't spray paint it but will fix it in the future.

How's the carrier holding up? I am about to order one now that I see that have added a bracket for the third brake light.
Love it, rock solid still... hands down my favorite carrier.
Good installs video ever
Thanks buddy 🙌
I love this tire carrier it’s heavy duty
My tailgate is solid with this... love it. Holds the tire like nothing
Did the shims came with the carrier
No.. I contacted cavfab and asked them to include in future kits thou.. these shims were part of the rusty kit
Awesome work mate, love the tire carrier, so much nicer than the factory one
100% agree! This thing will last a hell of a long time
Thanks for watching mate!
Dam I need a press tool
They make a lot of easy work out of things... maybe I should do a video of random things being pressed lol
JL LIFE OFFROAD yeah man you got so many tools
Years of collecting
Hi JL Life
What's the distance from the bottom of tire to ground ? Curiosity gets the best of me when deciding whether or not to add a JL to my Jeep family. Finally changing from all 2 doors to some 4 door car's ( off road toys ) most trails in my local area has 36" to 43" drop offs. Just looking to see what clearances are available if or when I add another family Jeep.
With the cavfab carrier on 37s... 35.5
The jl is an amazing product. Not with out it’s flaws thou...
Do you think those bushings could be pressed in with a vice? I don’t have access to a press.
A vice would make easy work of those bushing actually 🙌
update I didn't need a press for the bushing pieces. And they came with brackets to put where the old hinges were so you shouldn't need shims. Mine lines up thankfully first try. We just put it on today 6/23/20 Im not sure about the 3rd brake light. I really hate there is no instructions.
LOL, I agree. Instructions would be nice. But im super glad to hear it didn't need shims! its a hassle taking the entire thing off and doing it again!
Very instructive, LOL! Looks solid. Really Liked that carrier. Great vid as always, guys!!
Thanks! It’s been working great so far! Definitely glad I went with it
Solid work, the installs are coming quick. Looking forward to seeing what you do in Moab!
Hahahahaha the work never ends! We actually in Moab right now! STOKED
That looks like an actual pain to line up.... But the finished product is so sick
A little, but still pretty simple to line up and install!
I’m loving this piece thou... working flawlessly!
🤙
Any issue hitting tail light when opening mine also shuts great
No issues... I have the hinges tight to prevent it from swinging fast
The slowfie is hilarious!!!! Nice explanation on the carrier, turned out great after all the work and prep.
Thanks Rich! I’m nothing but happy with how it turned out!
Thank you! Great video. In NM, do you need to light your license plate at night? If so, how did you do that?
Yes.... I have a white light sitting behind the LP... but ... technically.. it’s not illuminating the plate... Iv discovered being cordial and polite with law enforcement... gives u a lot of leeway lol.
On a different note... I heard they have redesigned their carrier slightly... I think adding a 3rd brake light and lp lamp are included now? I’d ask them before buying thou... I’d feel bad if it was not accurate lol
I enjoyed the video , thanks for all the great videos you guys rock
Absolutely friend! Thank you for watching! Glad U enjoyed!
Any advise on vibration on my jeep at 60 km I have changed hubs ball joints.i run 35 s 2011 jk

Hey, thanks for the video. Now that you have had time with both, which do you like better? Ive been looking at the Rustys for a while. Thanks!

Thanks so much. Like your videos. Think I’m close to you too. Live up in Cedar Crest.
Yes u are, we should link up for a drink or wheelin sometime.. (albuquerque)

Thanks man, super simple concept to get these in!

Love your videos and content man. I have a question..... what color is the JL your working on in that video?
Hey friend! Thanks for the encouragement!!! Glad u been enjoying it!
The color of this jeep is stinggray... 🙌🙌
JL LIFE OFFROAD oh nice!! I really like the color. I’m guessing if you didn’t have the press that installation would be a pain in the butt.
😂 definitely would be more difficult... but not impossible... can always use the long bolt and some washers trick if u don’t have a press... this one goes for $100 at harbor freight.. I bought it from a friend some time ago for $50.
Misty’s hands all shaking putting them bolts in haha
Can’t blamed her.. she was 🤩 by my presence
