What impact is that. That things a beast. Also for future reference if you're taking out rollbar bolts they use a red lock tight on them from the factory. Just hit them with a mapp gas torch for a few seconds and it makes it 1000 times easier
If I was going to run a body mounted carrier it would be the Rusty's. Great choice. * the offset on the OEM carrier is to allow easy access to the tailgate handle
It looks wonky and now that I've seen it I can't unsee it haha. In the end I traded my slightly offset tire for a slightly crooked tailgate but oh well, at least it's strong now.
I got this and have it most of the way installed. I tried putting the wheel on and the wheel studs popped out when I bumped them trying to align the wheel with the studs. I have tried pounding them in. I used a vice. They don’t seat like I expected. Am I missing something or will they seat better over time?
@@Standard22 I have actually developed a similar problem just recently. I noticed a rattle and found the studs are loose and are spinning where they are supposed to be pressed in. Just poor fitment and I am going to tack weld them in place.
Dude, that carrier looks amazing, what a beast! That tie-in to the roll bar is brilliant. I had not seen that one, been looking for something like that verses the ones that pivot off the bumper. I found the Hyline Off-road combo that has an attachment to the tailgate with a turnbuckle so it has two points of attachment and I like the bumper that is needed anyway. Bummer about the offset on the right side, wonder if the holes through the tub could be made lower and still engage the bracket properly? That would bug my OCD. The lanyard is a miss as well, I’d rig up a strap that gives a bit somehow. I didn’t see one for YJ on their site anyway, wonder if the TJ/LJ one would work. Lookin good.
I thought about trying to go back and oblong the holes in the tub to lower the right side of the tailgate but you are kinda limited on how low you can go by the hump inside the tub and the top of the tail light. I think Rusty's just needs to address it on their end but that probably won't happen. It is super solid though, not sure if it would work on a YJ.
Do you know what size those original bolts that’s on the tailgate that you had to reuse I don’t have on there and getting ready to install rusty tire carrier Was hoping Rusty’s provide bolts for the Tailgate
Have you thought about maybe changing the hinge bolts to a smaller diameter bolt? That might would give you a little wiggle room to make things line up better.
I would have to cut the weld nuts off the inside bracket or use a very thin bolt to get through them, not sure I want to go that far. I think if the holes in the outside bracket were offset slightly that would solve it. You're limited to how low you can go though because of the tail light and the hump inside the Jeep.

Milwaukee M12 stubby
I really like Rusty's products. This turned out nice. Sucks about the missaligned tailgate.
We used that deburring tool on conduit when I worked as an electrician.They work rather well....
Yeah pretty handy little guy

Yep they are 5/16-18, 1" long 👍

@@HardEarnedBacon oh,ok.
I wish they made these for the YJ.
Me too
It'll fit on JJ you only have to drill two new holes for the tailgate hinges. Throw some 3/16 corner armor on to strengthen it up even more
@@ninja63639 thanks. Did you use this kit on a YJ?
Palmetto State Armory? Are you from SC? I saw an NC flag in another video and the hat in this one.
From NC originally but live in NV now.
Fluid film stinks!!
Yes it does
