IMPORTANT
The Poison Spyder TJ or YJ Tailgate Hinge Delete
Plates are designed to t on Jeeps already equipped
with Poison Spyder Crusher Corners. If the tailgate
has been removed, converted to drop-down, or
replaced with a Poison Spyder TrailGate, these plates
ll the cutouts in the passenger side Crusher Corner
or Trail Corner that are left empty once the tailgate
hinges are removed.
INSTALLATION NOTES
• Park the Jeep on a flat, level surface and set the parking
brake before beginning. Wear eye protection if any drilling,
grinding or sanding is to be done.
• The hardware provided will attach the plates into
the stock tailgate hinge mounting holes. The holes for the
lower plate have a captured nut-plate to thread into. You
will use the provided flat washers and lock nuts on the upper
plate.
• On TJ’s, the slightly larger plate is the lower plate.
• The plates are made of 6061-T6 aluminum. They will
not rust but may oxidize over time, and will do so faster in
salty conditions (seaside, or in areas where roads are salted
during winter). For this reason we recommend painting or
powder coating them.
• Test-fit prior to applying paint or powder coat, in
case any minor edge trimming or sanding is needed for
proper fitment.
• Note that these plates are designed to fit within
the hinge cut-outs of Poison Spyder Crusher Corners or
Trail Corners. While there is some lee-way afforded by
the captured, floating nut plate for the lower plate (and
the through-holes for the upper plate may be elongated
as necessary), the plates may prove difficult to install in
cases where the previous Crusher Corners or Trail Corners
installation was significantly misaligned. In these cases, it
may be necessary to sand or trim the edge of either the plate
or the adjacent edge on the corner, although this may result
in a gap at the opposite edge.
