Heavy Duty Jeep SportGate Tire Carrier - Install and Compare to a Bumper Mount

This time on the AutoEdits Jeep Wrangler JKU Rubicon build up... Jeepin Jason will take you through the installation of the beefy MetalCloak SportGate Tire Carrier and convert the swing out bumper ends on the Crawler bumper to change up the form and function of the rear end of this Jeep!
It might seem odd to convert from the super strong MetalCloak Crawler Swing Out Tire Carrier over to the door mount but after a few years of wheeling on the setup... I am interested in trying out a simplified way to access the rear cargo area of my Jeep. I had absolutely no issues at all with the bumper mounted tire carrier and appreciated the strength and stability it offered but since most of what I do with the Jeep doesn't seem to require that and I need to access the cargo area a bunch... it was time to try the tailgate style mount.
The installation is pretty easy and kind of fun so everyone should feel comfortable trying this one out. The only heavy lifting is actually of the tire at the end of it all!
Here's a link to the SportGate Tire Carrier I ordered:

Plus, here's a link to the sweet license plate relocation mount:

One of the many cool features of this upgrade is that you can run the SportGate Tire Carrier with many different bumper options... I just happen to have the MetalCloak Crawler on my Jeep (and love it).
PLUS, since so many of Jeepers use their tailgate as the central part of camping and cooking... the heavy duty hinges and support this kit provides is extremely beneficial.

Thanks so much for watching, please help out the channel by doing a bit of shopping through the AutoEdits Amazon page... if you don't see anything here at the link... just making that storefront your starting point still helps me out!
