What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this Tailgate Reinforcement System for Morryde, on our 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Now this is gonna be a three-part kit and you're gonna have the hinge, the backing plate that's reinforced, and then the spare tire reinforced, which all together are gonna help your tailgate hold bigger heavier tires. Let's check it out. Each piece of this kit is sold separately. So you can get each one by itself if you want to.

Maybe you don't have a big tire, or you're not worried about the spare tire carrier itself. Maybe you just wanna reinforce the tailgate with those hinges. Also, the hinges allow you to get accessories on there. So maybe you just wanna focus on that and not so much the tire. You can do that.

But you know, if the whole kit works together really well. So if you wanna just go ahead and reinforce your tailgate, it's not gonna hurt to buy the full kit and just have that extra strike. I keep telling you how reinforced it is. I just wanted to show you compared to what's already on your Jeep. This is the standard hinge for the door.

You can see this one has much more going on with it. You have a plate here that helps out. This is black powder coat steel. So it's gonna hold up just fine. You have a back plate here that goes into a longer plate in the back.

Really adding more support to your tire and tailgate altogether. Our spare tire carrier will hold spare tires with up to 40 inches in diameter. Also the brake light can be adjustable. So there's a lot of adjustment here. If you have a bigger tire than this, we can move it up. And so that way it's still visible around the tire. You're not stuck with just one fixed point for this brake light. And with all this added on there you don't lose any functionality. The door opens just the same. It's reinforced, so it's even better than it was before. And to do maintenance on it, you have these dirt fittings where you can add grease in there just to make sure you're keeping it open and closing for you for a long time. As far as the install goes, it was pretty easy. It uses all existing holes on your Jeep. So you don't have to drill anything extra. It gives you the hardware. It's just about a matter of lining the holes up and doing it in the right order to make sure that you put each piece on there, and then tighten it down. It didn't really take us that long. Follow along and see how we did it. Now we're gonna install the full kit today. If you didn't get the full kit, the whole thing might not apply to you. You can just skip to where it does. But first step is gonna be removing the tire. Next, you remove the hinge covers. And this as easy as kinda just pull it back like that. It's got two tabs on the inside that are holding it in place. I'll show you on this one too. Just works off like that. It'll heal, you'll hear a snap, but you didn't break anything, it's just this tab. Now we're also gonna remove the hinge covers on the side. Those don't pop off quite as easy but I'm also being a little more careful on this one. I don't wanna break anything. There we go. So what I did, I'll show you on the bottom one. You just kinda just lift up on the top and it pops right off like that. We're gonna remove the spare tire stops, and those just pop out, just like that. I don't have to worry about breaking that off or anything. So you just kinda pull down on it and it comes right out. We're gonna do that for this same plug here. You kinda get on there with your fingernails. And then pop it out. One other note, Bob, that last rubber plug, and this is just for accessories on your Jeep. So this is if you've got like an antenna, you're running cords from out here to inside. So if you're not using that, you can actually just pop that back in. Now with the tailgate open, we came on the backside here of the brake light and we removed these bolts. So you can take this off and then remove the spare tire carrier itself. You you're gonna come up with a ratchet and force bit, loosen 'em all up. With the bolts removed from the backside, you can pull the light out, and you have the wire attached right here. So I'm gonna push down on this and then pull it out. Now it's in there pretty good. So I'm just gonna go up and down with it. As it disconnects, just like that. Then you can slide out the wire here, off the keeper
