What is This?

I found these on the bumper behind the spare tire on my new 2021 Wrangler. They are cubes with sticky backs and have the inscriptions 50/Fe or 25 Fe, I assume something to do with iron. NO idea why they were there

They look like wheel weights. Check the inside of your spare tire to see if there is residue from the adhesive. If you don't see any wheel weights then you need to take it and get it balanced again or you're going to have a bad time when you need or use your spare.

Yep, definitely wheel balancing weights.

Thanks -- I checked and there are balancing weights on the spare. I do not see any evidence of adhesive or missing weights on the spare. What I found have not been used because the adhesive backing is still intact. It does appear that the weights on the spare and the missing weights from what I found are the same. I guess whoever was balancing the spare just left them behind.

Maybe the spare was using the extra weights to workout?






I’ll see myself to the exit....

Maybe the installer got tired of the "weight" and left!

Looks like you have after market wheels and tires. How long ago did you have them installed?

A month ago so it could have been someone from the tire shop that left them behind. I intend on returning them when I'm in the neighborhood

That's pretty impressive to stay on there for a month.

I agree - that's why I really wasn't sure what they were. And I have been using my jeep a lot during the past 3 weeks elk hunting on some pretty rough roads.
