DIRT DAILY. Adding an AEV tire carrier to my Jeep

  • I've been hauling my spare tire in the back seat of my Jeep and it takes up too much storage space. It's time to kick it out to the bumper. The American Expedition Vehicles rear tire carrier recently showed up and on this episode we install it so the dogs have more room in the back of the Jeep.
    If you're looking for a great rear bumper for your jeep wrangler check out AEV at the link below.

    good on you Fred .. a lesser man would have just pretended the gas caddy didn't exist .. lol

    Having a rig that can go on Ultimate Adventure, and take you cross country I think would be the best of both worlds. Good job, Fred.

    I helped lift a neighbor's trailer from the ditch with a hi-lift jack. I bought one and know how to use it safely thanks to Fred!

    AEV really compliments the style language of the OEM. I really like that. Very elegant, matching finishes and materials. Love it.

    That spare tire carrier is really a nice piece with the bronze bushings and grease zerk.

    Fred ,you should relocate the 3rd brake light on top of the vertical poll above the fuel jerrycan , so you don't have to remove it anytime you change a tyre and break or damage wiring

    While my dog was sitting on my lap watching this video with me, she really appreciated seeing you ask your dog to help install the carrier mount.

    I was just about to ask how you'd fill up without taking the tire/can off. I love those shake siphon hoses.

    I would love it if AEV included a plastic, cut to fit spacer sleeve for the tire carrier bracket. Space it, measure it, , cut it, and when everything it put together, it helps to prevent rattles AND covers the bolt, wiring, etc. Kind of a finish piece for if you don’t have the fuel caddy.

    If you ever wanted to know how much of a minimalist Fred is, he went camping for a week with a big tire in the back of a 2 door Jeep and didn’t need the space.

    Great content. That is a lot of work to use the fuel can. I can see gas going bad in that contraption.

  • @jameshall4385
    @jameshall4385 Рік тому

    I hope there is some kind of lock system, because you only need to remove two bolts and you can steal the gas can, mount, and spare tire

    Very cool to see you doing what you love. Need more dog cameos! Do you have any recommendations for a 2006 LJ swing away tire carrier that are on par with the AEV? Keep on Keepin ON!

  • @gabrielherrera3059
    @gabrielherrera3059 5 місяців тому

    I want to run 38 inch tires but I’m confused about adjusting the carrier. So is it only 2 bolts that I need to adjust? The one in the back and the one on top? When you loosen them you can pull out the part that holds the three bolts for the spare to fit the wider tire? I can’t find any clear videos on adjusting it for a bigger tire size. Also the gas thing won’t fit right because the 38 will be bigger and not fit into it so Idk. 🤷🏽‍♂️

  • @bradmiller2464

    Thats a lot of weight hanging of the back of the jeep100 lbs for tire and rim plus around 50 lbs for fuel plus weight of tire carrier and fuel container. Probably close to 200 lbs

  • @FieroFats
    @FieroFats 11 місяців тому

    Ok, but how are you getting 10 gallons of fuel out of that and into the jeep? Seems too complicated if you have to remove everything. Also, change the third brake light out for one that mounts behind the wheel to make access simpler.
