So I bought 4 new rims and tires recently knowing I would need a 5th as the spare... but I just can't afford it right now. I probably won't get it for at least a month. I put my stock spare in the jeep and took off the carrier for the time being becuase I really didn't like the look of the stock spare on the back. This leaves a few holes in the tailgate. I beleive I have seen pictures on here where guys have put rubber gromets or plugs or something in them, and it looks pretty good. Soi I'm wondering what you guys have used to fill these holes? Thanks.

 

google capplugs.....

 

pm SaginawMike on here. I bought the set of three from him for 5.00 us. Perfect and he shipped them fast.

He bought them for himself but had to buy them in bags of 100 each so he had plenty to share.

 

i filled the hole that the brake light went through with a bicycle handle bar grip. It was about the same diameter so i just cut the end of it and it worked perfectly. as far as the others, i just put the bolts back in for the time being.

 

I think mine were 9/16" plugs for the tire bumpstops holes from Lowe's in the hardware section by the bolts and such. When you push them in the hole is a little egg shaped. But they fit. The big holes took 1in plugs I think. They are cheap so get a few differet sizes and see what works best. That's for the holes with no bolts, just put the bolts back in the bolt holes like others have.
