I have an 07 2DR Jk. The tailgate hinges have been sloppy for sometime now and every bump results in a loud bang as the hinges move in their mounts under the weight of the spare tire (33"). I've hunted for a while and thought about the alumnium Teraflex replacement piece for the hinges but I can't get past the $600+ cost. I've looked around for OEM replacement hinges and they all end up running $300+ with shipping etc. I've looked at replacing the pins/brass bushings but finding the right fit was always a pain.

They I ran across this one night while mindlessly surfying the interwebs. http://www.doorhingepin.com/IMAGES/JKTP-complete.jpg
$60.00 to the door.

This is what comes in the package


Old hinges




Hinge with the new bolts/bushings.




The tailgate is smooth now, no slop. I have no idea how long they will last but for $60 and an hour or so of my time I'm very happy.

Great find, i'll be interested to see how they last for you. Always happy to see another Newfoundlander posting around here!

 

Great info, welcome to the forum.

 

thanks. ive lurked here for several years but i dont post very much. But i had to post this little fix. it was nice to find a fix that is well thought out and affordable. im suprised the larger online shops havent snatched up this for their catalogs

 

I put these on my 08 a few years ago - got rid of the slop I had developed after running a 35 on my stock gate for 3 years and about 80k miles

 

Very nice. Do you have a link to them
