64. Use a cutting tool of your choice to trim the plastic

hinge cover.

65. Re-install the hinge cover and check for clearance.

Trim further as needed.

66. If installing the vehicle’s license plate on to the

Tire Carrier, use the provided (4) 1/4-20 X 3/4 Stainless

Steel Button Head Cap Screws, (4) 1/4” Stainless Steel

Flat Washers and (4) 1/4-20 Stainless Steel Nylon Insert

Lock Nuts to attach the license plate to the center plate of

the Tire Carrier, using the four holes provided. Note that

in some areas vehicle laws require the license plate to be

illuminated at night. Poison Spyder sells an LED License

Plate & 3rd Brake Light with 6’ Extension Harness (p/n

41-04-LP6, sold separately) which may be installed along

with the license plate.

67. If installing Roto-Pax™ fuel or storage packs,

provisions are in place to bolt the Roto-Pax Pack Mounts

directly to the Tire Carrier. The Tire Carrier is designed

to accommodate two 2-Gallon Fluid Packs or Storage

Packs (or one of each) on the rear surface, at either side

of the license plate. Smaller 1-Gallon Fluid Packs may be

mounted on either side. Note that mounting a 1-Gallon

Pack on the driver’s side will make it a little more difﬁcult

(though not impossible) to operate the T-Lock handle.

68. A Hi-Lift Jack may be installed on the passenger side

instead of a 1-Gallon Roto-Pax (bolt holes are included

for both) or horizontally above the license plate and rear

Roto-Pax mounts. Square mounting holes are included in

both locations for using 1/2-13 X 3” carriage bolts, nuts

and urethane bushings. A hardware kit is available from

Poison Spyder (sold separately) which includes everything

needed to mount the Hi-Lift Jack in either of these locations.

At this point, the pre-installation of the JK Body

Mounted Tire Carrier is Complete. Once everything

has been tested for proper operation, all of the un-

painted bare steel components must be un-installed

and painted or powder coated. Once painted or

power-coated, re-install using the same procedures

outlined above. Consider the following pointers when

painting or powder coating:

• When painting or powder-coating, mask off the

interior of the bushing sleeves on the passenger side of the

Tire Carrier Main Structure.

• The Acme threads on the Threaded Tire Mount may be

powder coated in a thin, durable coating. There is enough

clearance between the Wing Nut and the threaded rod to

accommodate this, but not enough for a thick coat. Also,
