Been working on my new Teraflex hinge and tire carrier.....Can't believe Jeep doesn't paint under the hinges! I can't imagine just that little bit of paint would make them go belly up:grayno:
Took care of the paint with some primer and duplicolor paint to match. Taped it off and covered everything that didn't have any paint.
Here are a few pics of what is done so far.
I'll be taking more photos. I have actually finished the install of the new hinge. All I can say is wow! Makes a huge difference with that hinge installed compared to the stock one. Feels a lot better and shuts nice and snug.
Still have to finish putting studs in the wheel holder and then taking measurements to install new tire/wheel combo. Then I purchased a Hyline third brake light and I will have to mod an extra center cap to work with the new light.
