POISON SPYDER CUSTOMS INST-17-13-010_C • JK Body Mounted Tire Carrier 9

Thread the Lower Adjustment Cam Nut onto the end of the

1/2-13 bolt, where it protrudes through the bottom of the

Hinge Bracket. Leave this assembly ﬁnger-tight for now.

37. Install a 1/2-13 X 4-1/2 Socket Head Cap Screw,

with 1/2-13 lock nut and washers, into the lower hinge

assembly and tighten with a 3/8” hex key and 3/4”

wrench.

38. Install the license plate to the center plate of the Tire

Carrier Main Structure, using (4) #10-24 X 3/4 Button

Head Cap Screw SS (1/8” hex key), Flat Washers and

Lock Nuts (3/8” wrench).

39. If laws in your area require the license plate to be

illuminated, install a license plate light of your choice.

Poison Spyder recommends its LED License Plate Light &

3rd Brake Light with 6’ Extension Harness (p/n 41-04-

LP6).

40. Attach the Threaded Tire Mount to the inside of the

Tire Carrier Main Structure, using (3) 3/8-16 X 1 Gr8 Hex

Head Cap Screws, Lock Nuts and Flat Washers.

Use a pair of 9/16” wrenches to tighten the three 3/8-16

X 1 Hex Head Cap Screws, Flat Washers and Lock Nuts.

41. Lift the spare tire onto the Tire Carrier, with the

outside (appearance side) of the wheel facing the back of

the Tire Carrier (facing away from the Jeep with the Tire

Carrier closed).

42. Slide the Tire Mount Centering Cone on to the

Threaded Tire Mount, followed by the Tire Mount Wing

Nut. Thread the Wing Nut down until it is snug against

the tire. The tire may need to be lifted slightly as the Wing

Nut is tightened, so that the Cone may properly center the

tire. Once the tire is centered, tighten the Wing Nut as far

as it can reasonably be tightened by hand.
