How did you install this in your spare tire.... with tire on mark and drill... what size and did you need a washer?
Thanks, shopping now.
Well, there is the easy way or the lets say more involved way. The more involved way involves drilling two additional holes in the tire carrier itself and then then using the 2 Dorman's in those two holes you drilled.
That was easy to follow and a great word visial. Now tell me about the brake light I like that. I must have missed that post.Well, there is the easy way or the lets say more involved way. The more involved way involves drilling two additional holes in the tire carrier itself and then then using the 2 Dorman's in those two holes you drilled.
The less involved way, that many to include myself have used, is to.....
Take the spare off the back of the JL and actually bolt the Dorman's right on to the spare/wheel. Push the Dorman's through from the back of the wheel and then screw on the 2 additional lug nuts you have to the Dorman studs.
Of course, you have to pick the correct two holes on the spare to use. 8-)
When you install the two Dorman studs, onto the spare, use a rubber hose washer to tighten the lug nut down onto. A metal washer in there will not work for you. You can use a regular flat garden hose washer but a rounded one, a quality, all weather one, like in the pic below works better. You can tighten the lug right up on the rubber washer. This does not damage the wheel.
Now, when you go to put the spare back on the carrier you will need say 3 or four metal washers altogether on the wheel studs there, to compensate for the bit of Dorman that is now residing on the back of the spare.
Geeez, hard to explain, but so simple to do the less involved way. When you get into it you will see what I'm spewing and that is is easy easy to do and takes but minutes. Hardest part is lifting that friggin spare.
YES, when you go to use the spare, you will have to take the extra 2 minures to remove those 2 lug nuts you secured to the spare when you do the less involved way of adding the 2 lugs.
Anyway, I chose the less involved way. I saw no reason to make a 10 minute easy deal into an houtr job requiring measuring, drilling and such.
Have a photo of that. Why did you flip it... I'm curious.
I do not have a photo of it, but it provides much greater visibility out of the windshield.
Those wheels are my favoriteGot some new shoes for the Rubi
