Default SHROCKWORKS Rear Stubby Tire Carrier install with PICS

So i installed it today, let me tell you if yo have never installed a shrockworks product, their stuff is probably easier to install then anything out there,

I have the front bumper the rockers and now the tire carrier, the tire carrier was definitely a piece of cake to install, I took my time and was done in about 4 hours.

Here are some pics
This is how the bumper looks out of the box, everything was packed fantastic and top notch ( again something i have come to expect from the guys at Shrockworks)







here are the backup lights that are included the bumper is designed for these, so the fit is perfect



and here the light is mounted on the bumper



more in the next post

this is how the jeep looks like before i started


removed lights and bumper



here are the frame brackets



and the bracket sitting in the frame (only drilling is one hole on the passenger side)



now i masked everything on the jeep and the bumper, just to be sure i wont damage anything(as i am usually capable of doing)



here is the masked bumper installed on the jeep



here you can see the ground for the reverse light, you reuse the bottom bolt for the factory license plate mount



you can see the plug where the factory license plate mount used to be, shrockworks includes this, very nice touch

more in next post

Looks great. I have the sliders and I have to agree that they were easy to install... with a friends help.

Looks great. Makes me even more anxious to get mine. I'm glad I went with the stubby. Do you know how much it dropped your rear end?
