Default Removing Spare Tire

Just upgraded to 35s and plan on removing my stock spare and running no spare tire. I noticed once you take off the rubber holders for the spare that there are empty holes in the tailgate. Is there any manufacturer that makes plugs for the tailgate? And if so, who?

I know of the tramp stamp. I'm mainly concerned with the visible holes to the left and right of the tramp stamp.

Sorry. I haven't seen or personally used anything for that. If it were me I'd go grab some knockout plugs, paint em and put em in.

I'm sure someone will come along with something useful

Probably wouldn't hurt unless you end up with a wasp nest. Knockout plugs cost next to nothing if you can find the right size just check out an electrical or plumbing store, hit em with a rattle can

Lowes and Ace stores have lots of plugs/caps in the hardware section.
