Laser-cut 3\/16\" steel bracketry reinforces the tailgate structure and provides a mount that can be adjusted up or down for differing tire heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted from high-strength 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the Heavy Duty SportGate Tire Carrier Hinges are engineered to replace the factory hinges with a performance-focused upgrade. These precision-machined hinges are hard black anodized for maximum durability and corrosion resistance, built to withstand the harshest conditions. Each hinge proudly features a laser-engraved MetalCloak \"M\" on the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold-zinced 3\/8\" hinge bridge is a critical structural component of the MetalCloak Heavy Duty SportGate Tire Carrier, engineered to reinforce and connect the two billet aluminum hinges from inside the Jeep's tub. Fabricated from heavy-duty steel and finished in a durable gold zinc coating for superior corrosion resistance, this internal brace installs using the factory hinge mounting holes and requires no drilling. By tying the upper and lower hinges together, the hinge bridge distributes the load of the spare tire evenly across the tub, minimizing stress and preventing long-term damage. The bridge adds strength, rigidity, and peace of mind to your SportGate setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flanged bronze sleeve bearings used in the billet hinges of the MetalCloak SportGate Tire Carrier are designed for long-lasting durability and smooth operation. They are precision-machined to fit seamlessly into the heavy-duty billet hinges. These bearings provide a low-friction pivot point that resists wear over time. The flanged design ensures secure placement within the hinge housing, preventing movement or shifting during use, while the self-lubricating bronze material offers reliable performance with minimal maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvisions for the rear backup camera are built in. The completed structure allows the rear vent of the tailgate to function as intended by the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant Note: MetalCloak recommends a maximum wheel\/tire combo weight of 150 lbs on the SportGate Tire Carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018+ JL Wrangler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSportGate Tire Carrier:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16\" Hot-Rolled Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment Brackets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/16\" Hot-Rolled Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBillet Hinges:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Modification:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime to Install:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-4 Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel Weight: MetalCloak recommends a maximum wheel\/tire combo weight of 130 lbs on the SportGate Tire Carrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026lt;h2 class=\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetalCloak part #: 6951\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MetalCloak","offers":[{"title":"4xE, I Would Like The Speaker Relocation Bracket \/ Tire Mount Wheel Backspacing 3.75\" -
