So I installed the Rugged Ridge Hinge on the tailgate and before I add the tire carrier and larger tire I am now thinking i should take off the bolts and put something in between the hinge plate and the tail gate (where it goes over the non-tire part - i.e. the giant "X"). It is pretty tight to the tailgate which is good and bad - bad in that I am concerned that even if it shifts or moves a tiny bit it will mar up the paint, then if i ever decide to switch to something else, the design is so specific that it will be entirely obvious exactly where this was!
Any ideas on what I could use...what came to mind for me was something like the below - but i dont know if its strong enough to do anything.
Maybe a SUPER thin rubber gasket but where would i get that?!
