I also went with the Artec setup. Customer service was eh but I love the product. Glad I stumbled across this thread, I needed to find some grommets for when I remove those rubber boots.

Anyone done anything "temporary"? I have an Evo carrier to install, but it's in another state for now. I will be getting it...this spring. Not interested in hanging a 37 on my tailgate that long, but not liking the bare carrier and also not going to cut off camera.

I don't want to drop $150 on something temporary, I would just have my evo carrier shipped for less money.

I went with DV8. Love the look. Same problems as all the other on... came with no instructions. The mounting screws for the camera are too big for the holes so I had to drill larger holes. I didnt wire the license plate light because I would have to splice from the current light and I wasnt ready to commit to moving the license plate. I also put a little felt between the metal plate and the JEEP as I didnt want the metal to scratch the paint. The kit came with a bunch of useless washers and silver hardware which would look funny so I went to Home Depot and bought all black screws. The camera works great. All in all it looks great, I got a flat black blank plate from Amazon.
I also bought the rubber tailgate plug kit from amazon

A Jeep just looks neutered without the iconic spare tire on the back…

It's different but I did mine for several reasons. Less weight on the gate, better departure angle, more room in the garage, 1 less thing to be stolen, better visibility. I deleted my rear seats and mounted spare inside.

I dont disagree. But I sometimes think it looks too bulky with the spare. I like how it can look a little different without it...we will see if I go back!
