Owners manual

POISON SPYDER CUSTOMS INST-17-13-010_C • JK Body Mounted Tire Carrier 15

less-durable paint on the threaded rod may not hold up with

the Wing Nut passing back and forth over it.

• Paint and powder coat may not hold up on the

inner surface of the alignment holes where they contact the

Alignment Cones. It may be better to leave that surface bare

and keep it coated with a thin coat of grease to inhibit rust.

• While the Tire Carrier components are removed

for paint, use the opportunity to apply touch-up paint to the

edges of all holes drilled into the Jeep’s sheet metal to help

prevent corrosion.

Congratulations, you have completed installation of

your JK Body Mounted Tire Carrier!

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Check and re-tighten any fasteners that need it after

the rst day’s use or 100 miles. This is especially

important for the fasteners that hold the latch plate to

the driver’s side corner panel, the hinge bushing bolts,

proper alignment of the alignment pins (adjusted using

the adjustment cams on the top hinge bushing), and

of course the T-handle latch mechanism. Check them

again after a few weeks of use or 500 miles, then as

part of your normal vehicle maintenance plan after

that.
