I know, I know before any one starts, it's a cruiser. So with that being said, on my wife's JLUR we are running 22x12's, and from everything I can see, it will be very hard to get a full size spare, 35" at that to fit. I'm not ready to go in on a rear bumper/carrier yet, haven't seen anything that I absolutely love and have to have.
The stock spare looks silly. Does anyone know of the carrier flush delete like many are running on JKs that has an answer for the back up camera?

I just put mine on todayā€¦But I am not happy with it. Itā€™s from ACE Engineering and fabrication end it was the only one I could find. It was a pain in the ass to install and figure out with no instructions and it has gaps and doesnā€™t cover all the holes in the tailgate.

Maybe I thought it would look more flush or final but maybe also itā€™ll grow on meā€¦

What do you guys think? Look okay?

I donā€™t know I guess it looks OK from far but still has on plug holes and I got to figure that part out

Nice Jeep, I really dig that blue!
I like that piece, but why would they not make it an inch wider on each side to cover the holes and wire grommet?
The fact that it doesn't does not really make a diff tho, it's a good looking piece. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

@cmb396 I posted about my solution here: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/spare-tire-carrier-delete.4454/page-4#post-611752
I feed the wires through vents and also cut a section of the ā€˜white flapā€™ where the wires fed through to allow them to lay back down and flat. I plugged the holes with plugs from Amazon, see the post immediately after the one linked.
