Default Cargo door holes...

I am looking to replace the OEM rear bumper with a Bumper and Tire Carrier for future tire upgrades. In doing this, of course I have to remove the OEM tire carrier. I have noticed several posts on here with pics of this done and there are open holes where the bracket and/or tire bump stops were.

Is there a kit or something that will plug these up to keep from getting water in the rear door?

Thanks.

Here are a few pics of our UFO's used around the Jeep, and a link to our website. http://www.vectoroffroad.com/rear-ufos-p-56.html

I appreciate the response, but it would appear that this does not handle the 3rd brake light hole as it is not a boltable hole, is that correct? Also, I was wondering, do you have it with out the silver bolts? I am really not wanting anything "chrome" on my jeep. Another question, do I have to use the plate with the UFOs for the bolt holes for the tire carrier 8 mount holes? Also, that seems pretty expensive for these as it would cost me ~$125 for the bolt holes and the tire bumps, and that is not counting the plate or the 3rd brake light hole.

Thanks

The rear UFO's cost $23.99 which includes two ufo's and mounting hardware. They will fill the 2 rubber bumper holes. The third brake light hole is too large for UFO well nuts, so we don't offer a solution for that. However, if you look at the pics I posted, you can see that we left the factory grommet in the hole. If you are looking to fill the 8 spare tire bolt holes, we have the Element Plate that bolts up to the factory holes, and provides a clean look and allows you to keep the factory baffle in place. The factory baffle helps regulate the air pressure inside the Jeep, and keeps water from getting in your gate. The Element Plate is $69.99, and it re-uses your factory bolts. Here is a link for it: http://www.vectoroffroad.com/jk-elem...kdi2jmj7laku93

We only offer stainless steel hardware. Many customers just paint them if they prefer the blacked out look. With the 15% discount we have going this weekend by using code jkf4th upon checkout, your total would be around $79.89 + around $10.00 shipping.

I just put the bolts back in that held in the tire carrier in place. Nice part is that it is free.

Yep , what I did too and also picked up some plugs for the large black nipple holes from Lowes when I ran sans spare.
The Vector stuff looks nice though.
