I did not. I believe that squeak sound is normal for this carrier as it caters more towards off-roaders anyways. Just another squeak sound added to the many other sounds a Jeep makes. Haha.
being that the Tire Carrier hinges and locking bracket are Steel and the JL body and doors are Aluminum, will there be a problem with Galvanic Corrosion. JL and JT are plagued with this issue being the factory body and doors are Aluminum and factory door hinges are Steel, causing those Bubbles under the paint in those areas.
Pros & Cons to everything. What i like most is that it will not hold weight on your tailgate door as it is independent of that in the way it holds your spare tire.
Nice install and looks like a straightforward process.
Did you add any grease later for the squeaking?

Ha! I made this vid a while ago, just didn’t release til recently.
Looks like more of a pain to open and close and the drilling into the body is a terrible idea

Looks nice! I just wish they had a better mounting system instead of drilling into the body.
