BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The bare steel components of the Rear Stinger
Tire Carrier kit should be powder coated or
painted prior to installation. If powder coating,
be sure to not install the urethane bushings until
AFTER the parts have been powder coated, but
make sure the coater masks the inside of the
bushing cavities as the thickness of the powder
coat may make installation of the bushings
difcult.
If painting the components, thoroughly wash and
prep the bare metal components, then apply
a quality metal-etching primer, followed by the
paint color of your choice.
Remove the existing tire carrier and rear bumper
prior to beginning this install. The removal
procedure of any existing rear bumper is not
included in these instructions. Retain the OE
bolts that thread into the bottom of the Jeep’s
frame to hold the OE bumper on. They will be
re-used.
These instructions assume that Poison Spyder
Crusher Corners™ have already been installed.
INSTALL PROCEDURE
1. Park vehicle on a level surface and set the
emergency brake. You will want to wear eye
protection beyond this point.
2. Install the Lower Mount Plate to the Jeep’s
rear frame/cross member using the supplied
stainless steel at head cap screws, at
washers and lock nuts. Use the hole
locations that correspond to existing holes in
the Jeep’s frame. Use the OE hardware in
the two bolt locations along the bottom of the
LowermountPlate,attheundersideofeach
frame rail.
3. Note that several of the hole locations do
not have a corresponding hole through the
Jeep’s frame. Use the drill motor and 3/8”
drill bit to drill through the frame at these
locations, using the Lower Mount Plate as
your drill guide.  Before you begin to drill,
check behind the frame cross member at
each hole location to make sure it is clear
of any wires or other components. The fuel
tankislocatedinthisarea,becarefulwhen
drilling not to punch through to the fuel tank.
4. Apply some paint to the bare metal around
the edges of the new holes just drilled, to
discourage rust.
5. Install the remaining stainless steel at
headcapscrews,washersandlocknutsinto
the new hole locations.
6. Install the Upper Corner Mounts to the
upper rear corners of the Jeep. Note that
the countersunk hole locations in the Upper
Corner Mounts correspond with existing
mounting hardware for your Crusher
Corners. Remove the existing hardware
fromtheseholes,andusethesupplied3/8-
16 X 1 stainless steel button head cap screws
withatwashersandlocknutstosecurethe
Upper Corner Mounts. Leave this hardware
loose until after installing the Rear Stinger.
7. Install the urethane bushings into each
of the four bushing sleeves on the Rear
Stinger assembly. Push the narrow end of
the bushing into the sleeve until the wider
ange is seated against the edge of the
sleeve tube. Put two bushing halves into
eachsleevetube,onefromeachside.You
may need to carefully use a rubber mallet to
tap the bushings into the sleeves.
8. Note that there are two THIN wall inner
bushing sleeves and two THICK wall inner
bushing sleeves. Insert the thin wall inner
bushing sleeves into the lower bushings in
the Rear Stinger. Insert the thick wall inner
bushing sleeves into the upper bushings.
You may need to carefully use a rubber
mallet to tap the inner bushing sleeves into
the bushings.
9. Insert the lower bushings of the Rear
Stinger into the bushing tabs on the Lower
Mount Plate. Do this with the upper end of
theRearStingerrestingontheoor.Usethe
1/2-13 Grade 8 hex head cap screws, 1/2”
at washers and 1/2-13 lock nuts to attach
theRearStingertotheLowerMountPlate,
through the tabs and bushings. Tighten the
1/2” hardware enough to secure the Rear
Stinger but leave it slightly loose enough to
allow the Stinger to swing up and down.

10. Fold the Rear Stinger upward, until the
upper bushings meet the mounting tabs in
the Upper Corner Mounts. You may need to
slightly adjust the Upper Corner Mounts to
allow the bushings to swing easily into the
tabs.Testforpropertmentwiththesupplied
hitch pins and cotter pins. Once everything
issatisfactorilyaligned,tightenthehardware
for the Upper Corner Mounts. Remove the
hitch pins and fold the Rear Stinger back
down.
11. Roll your spare tire onto the Rear Stinger
and lay it down with the outside of the wheel
facing down. Push the tire against the tire
stop on the Rear Stinger.
12. Place the 3-way Spare Tire Strap over the
spare tire, with the two lower ends (with
metal mounting tabs) draped over each side
ofthetire,andtheupperend(withtheratchet
mechanism) draped over the end of the tire
that is farthest from the Jeep.
13. Use the supplied 7/16-14 X 1 Gr8 Hex
Head Cap Screws, at washers and lock
nuts to secure each of the metal mounting
tabs of the 3-Way Spare Tire Strap to the
corresponding tabs on each side of the Rear
Stinger. Do not fully tighten this hardware
yet.
14. Pass the upper strap of the 3-Way Spare
Tire Strap through the small loop at the upper
endofthe Rear Stinger,thenback through
the buckle.
15. Adjust the three straps until,whentight,the
center ring is located near the center of the
tire.Oncethestrapisadjustedcorrectly,and
tightened,nishby tightening thehardware
that attaches the two lower straps to the tabs
on the Rear Stinger.
16. Test operation by folding theRearStinger,
withtiremounted,upwardandinstallingthe
hitch pins into each Upper Corner Mount.
Insert the hairpin cotter pins into the holes in
each hitch pin to keep them in place while in
