back door vent

Just took mine off tonight. 2010 still has the flappers. My new PS tramp stamp replaces the vent. From what I understand the vector stamp is spaced from the gate allowing air in the sides. The PS is flush, the stamp opening is covered by my plate right now. Bits only 2 small slits though, not a lot of air moving anyway.
did mine as well with the PS Tramp Stamp .. looks way better than that cheezie vent sticking out ..

That AND when soft top is all up and on nicey nice you don't look like a Jiffy Pop popcorn thingy driving down the road when you turn on ANY fan setting except recirculate. I ditched mine and admit I do need more airflow. I look like a Baloon when the windows are up and a/c on on the way to work.

Just took my factory spare off today, realized the 285 the previous owner had on there was starting to look like it was leaning back.....sure as crap the top of the spare tire holder and down a side was cracked right in half.
My question is where did people get the rubber gromets for the holes left over?

For the tire bump stops (or whatever they're actually called) you can look at vector Offroad. They make UFOs to plug them. For the actual threaded tire mount holes, I just covered them. Technically I drilled my tramp stamp and used the OEM screws to mount it because I want access to the rear door panel, but they're meant to go right over the holes.

Now, go back to the rear andnput your hand by the vent. You can feel air blowing out. There is a recent thread about this and it's purpose. It will help cool your heep off mote quickly if you run the a/c this way for about the first 5-10 minutes and the switch to recirculate. Te hit air gets pushed out the vent.

I have a 2011 and it is the same as on my 09. I removed it and put on a Rampage plate, rear brake light, and license plate bracket and love it. I put my spare in the back of the JK so did not need all that crap hanging off the back door.
