POISON SPYDER CUSTOMS INST-17-13-010_C • JK Body Mounted Tire Carrier 4

On the back side of the latch plate, a corresponding larger

hole is provided to allow access with a 7/16” deep socket

to install and tighten the ﬂat washer and lock nut. Use a

5/32” hex key to hold the ﬂat head screw in place while

tightening the nut.

14. Install the (4) Rubber Insert Bumpers in the provided

holes just above each of the Alignment Cones. Use a dab

of grease to help them slip into place. (Note: photos depict

this step out of proper sequence)

15. As this is a pre-installation, and the components

will be removed for paint or powder-coat prior to ﬁnal

installation, apply some masking tape to the back side of

the Latch Plate to protect the Jeep’s paint ﬁnish during the

pre-installation process.

16. Locate the four aluminum Latch Plate Spacers that

came in your hardware kit. The two tallest spacers are

.562” thick, they will be used with the two lower Latch

Plate bolts. The remaining two spacers are nearly identical

but one is slightly thicker than the other. Of these, the

thicker one, which is .257” thick, is used with the middle-

lower Latch Plate bolt. The remaining spacer, which is the

thinnest one at .226”, is used with the middle-upper Latch

Plate bolt.

17. Pre-install the (6) 3/8-16 X 1-1/2 Gr8 Hex Head

Cap Screws from the inside of the Latch Plate, as shown in

the following photo. Hang the Latch Plate Spacers onto the

protruding ends of the bottom, middle-lower and middle-

upper bolts as shown.

18. Carefully install the Latch Plate assembly on to the

Jeep, guiding the threaded ends of the Cap Screws, and

the Spacers, into the holes drilled in the previous steps. It

may be advantageous to use a small piece of tape over

the bolt heads inside the Latch Plate, to help keep them in
