[QUOTE="FLGeezer, post: 457997"] I'm in the process of installing the Smittybilt Pivot HD Tire Carrier today. Watched several YT install videos. Dissapointed in Smittybilt somewhat. They put all the components in separate boxes with labels, however the parts list on the instructions call them something different. They put all the different bolts, etc in separate bags but didn't label them. Bit of a pain to try to match them with the parts list in order to make sure you got everything. The photos in the instructions suck. But, it's not a big deal once you watch the videos. I'm finding that working on the Jeep is remarkably easy and enjoyable. I stopped working on my vehicles a long time ago because it was such a pain in the ass. Putting on the reinforced hinge mount was a little hard doing it by myself (and with my old, arthritic hands). It's heavy. Got some shim stock from the hardware store and that worked great to help hold up the tailgate once I removed the OEM hinges. Edit: In the photo I've used the red OEM hinge bolts. I replaced them with black ones for a better look. [ATTACH type="full" alt="70526739756__1742F665-D736-4F01-A156-3AE91501D249.jpg"]124292[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
