Installation of a rear tailgate mounted rack system with basket over the spare tire. This is needed to carry implements, especially things like the chainsaw
outside the vehicle. There's no options for this kind of thing in a TJ unless its a mod for specific bumper. I accidentally purchased a JK tailgate mount version
and instead of returning it, I modified the mounting system and bracket so it would fit on the TJ. Worked awesome! Hurray for some brains and brawn and not having to
return shit. Worked out pretty good!
Highlights
Needed to leverage my awesoe Fishbone rear tailgate cover plate I already had to help modify the existing JK Bracket mount that came with the kit. This let me extend the bolt holes to align with the TJ door.
