Time to rack up Moby and get to work on him!
I've scene a lot of rigs running that style of spare tire carrier. It looks like it mounts directly to the body. Will it swing open to access the back of the jeep through the tailgate?

Yes, pins on the left side Johnny Joints, carrier opens the same way but separate of the gate.

Very cool....thanks
Actually, I got them shorter. The original hoses were too long and because of it, they were chaffing on brackets. The new shorter length makes for a clean install.
Interesting... I am having the same issue. I wrapped the hoses with some wire loom stuff to help for now, but I will be replacing mine soon.

I need to learn how to do this! When my spare comes in Im planning on doing this myself
Man, do I love living in Carson City! Just got a pair of new hydraulic hoses made, while I waited, in about 10 min and for a reasonable price

WAYALIFE on the GO Photos!!
After a quick trip to autozone, I had what I needed to finish up the job I started.
Rather than wait to order a new replacement gasket from Advance Adapters, I decide to make my own.
Using the cover plate to size up the gasket material I would need to cut and use.
Using the cover plate as a template to draw up the gasket and location of the holes.
After taking some measurement, I drew in the inner edge of the gasket.
Cutting out the holes and then the inner section to create the final gasket.
Using 2 of the cover bolts to hold the inspection cover plate and new gasket to the bottom of the Atlas.
Applying some Ultra Blue RTV to the threads of the remaining bolts.
Installing the remaining bolts.
After removing the 2 starter bolts, I applied RTV to them and reinstalled them.
Just gotta wait for everything to dry and then torque the bolts, reinstall the drain plug and refill. Hopefully, this will do the trick
