Greg, that's not how you grease up a bearing. You glob the grease onto the palm of your hand and then slowly drag the open part of the bearing into the grease filling the bearing with grease. Just an observation.

Nice! I'm sure the bearings were fully greased, but good to know there are multiple ways to do it!

Nice! Fortunately a tire carrier bearing =/= aerospace grade bearing. Didn't even do this much for the last one and it works like a champ almost a year out

Hey Greg, I've used the Draw-tite 5443 hitch mount plate holder on several builds, should do the trick... or install two nutserts onto the spare tire holder carrier and mount the plate by the open and close mechanism either way pick up a plate light too.

Really enjoy watching your channel. That new rear bumper is nice. Just a little to big for my taste. I'm running a Warn with the swing out tire rack. Keep up the great videos.

Just recieved that exact same bumper and tire carrier, but it had been dropped and the driver side top end has a big dent in it.. and the swing out tire carrier does not align with the latch. It's about 2 inches to high.. I really like this bumper to. hopefully the dealer will make it right. Great video guys. I have also heard to that you can use just lubricating oil instead of grease.

Hello, the 3 shorty lug nuts you got for the tire carrier spacer what size socket did you use? because I had to do the same thing got some shorties but didn't have enough room for my socket to fit in the lug hole to tighten the spacer down. 😢

I'll be negative nancy for a minute. I have the same bumper but from 2 summers ago. Looks good, rigid enough. So i never hooked up the reverse flood lights but thats ok because they are full of water after a month. I just said whatever, cheap chinese junk as usual. I moved on. Took about a week after i got the bumper and noticed the lock for the latch don't work anymore. They actually sent me another latch, straight from China of all places. Well it worked and I was happy until a week later the lock on the latch failed and if you tear it apart there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it. I'd say 6 months later i noticed some rattling. Go figure the rubber stopper next to the latch that the arm slams into has hardened and shrunk leaving almost an 1/8" gap of rattle. I fixed that by cutting some new green kitchen scrubbies into 1" strips and piling them in there until the rattle stopped. Still don't have a lock that works. last which is nobodys fault so to say. If your jeep is leaning to the passenger side on angled blacktop. Your tire is gonna swing right open and hit the parked car next to you. Wish they had a pin with a hole next to the bearing side so you can lock your tire from whacking the dudes Ferrari next to you while your loading your groceries. But besides those sorta minor things its a decent bumper. Your gonna want to make some rubber stopper extensions so the top of your tire is pressed against them so the tire don't do the jiggly wiggly all the time over bumps, cracks and holes. Thats it. Guess I just reviewed my bumper on your page, oops.

First ill start by saying i enjoy your channel. But this bumper is probably fine for going to the mall but itll never hold up off road nor will your license plate location. Ditch the china crap as the saying goes sometimes free isnt cheap enough. On an upnote metal cloak is legit looking forward to seeing you use their stuff. Peace

Hear you. License plate is just a temporary solution.. not the final location. Have had 0 issues with this rear bumper both on and off road - as you know we've had one for nearly a year now. No Brainer for the price. Can't say the same about our American made one on the Jku
