MORrydeJP54-003 - Heavy Duty Hinge - JK Model (07-15 Wrangler)

I have been having it now for 3 years. Solid hinges. I bought the tire carrier second hand, it was missing the hardware. I called MoR/ryde to purchase the missing hardware and to my surprise they sent me the hardware free of charge, even though I had bought it off someone. That shows that customer service with them is A+. High quality metal and finish.

I added new rims and heavier tires to my JK which added more weight to my tailgate. I was getting a rattle when hitting bumps. I knew the added weight to the factory tailgate hinges was probably the issue. A buddy of mine bought these hinges for the same reason and said they were quality. It solved his rattle issue. So I did some research and this was a great solution at an affordable price. Everything else I found with a reputation of reliable quality was three to four times as much in price.I installed this myself. It took a few hours, but I enjoy that kind of thing. When you removed the factory hinge there is no paint. So I sanded of a bit of rust and painted the exposed area. Obviously they paint the JK after the factory hinges are installed. They provide a black out tape to cover this, but I decided to paint it instead. It looks better and protect from rust as well. This is not required though.InstallI would have gone faster if I had a second pair of hands. Just making sure things are level is the key. The weight of the tailgate pulls down as you tighten down the bolts. So you have to make sure the tailgate is level and will close before tightening all the way. This is where having a second person really helps.I highly recommend this Hinge. I've had it for over a year and it's holding up fine.

Very easy to install. What took the longest was painting the hinge area because Jeep paints the tubs with all of the doors and hinges in place.Anyway, what I did on my install! I first took two door stop wedge’s and pushed them under the tailgate on each end of the gate. Removed tire, then removed the top hinge first, painted the area. Once dry, I installed the top hinge and tightened the two bolts on the hinge and the one outside bolt on the hinge base mount next to the taillight. I then slowly opened the tailgate and installed the most inter two bolts and tightened them. Checked the gate’s function and moved onto the bottom hinge.The bottom one same as top! Wedge in the door stops, remove the factory hinge, clean and paint the area.Installed bottom hinge in the same way, but pushing it up towards the top of the gate once I had the first three bolts in and a bit snug.Then remove the wedges and open the gate and install the inter two bolts and snug really good. Check function of the gate. Function was great and then tightened all of the bottom hinge bolts.I put the supplied anti seize on all supplied bolts on install. And used a synthetic grease in the hinges. I bought these because I have 35’s and that big tire adds a good amount of weight to the overall weight of the gate.These hinges look awesome and function smooth and quiet. Highly recommended these hinges even if you are running with a factory size tire. Lots of weight bouncing around back there while you are off road.

I have a 2007 Wrangler Unlimited. I’ve always had factory sized tires until a year ago. The tires I got are the largest I could go without a lift. Yokohama Geolander MT size P285 60R/18. Even with the tire size not a huge difference, the weight difference was huge. Within a few months the factory hinges couldn’t handle the weight anymore and started to rattle with every little crack in the road. I saw these on Amazon and that they had actual grease zirks! I ordered them without hesitation and it was a great decision. These hinges are very rugged and heavy duty is really an understatement. Prep and Installation was a breeze...Took only 40 minutes total from start to finish! I would buy these again but it looks like I won’t need to unless I trade this Jeep for another!

This hinge is so much stronger then the stock Jeeps.Easy to install and comes with a grease zerk.

My tailgate used to sag pretty bad because the hinges were old and worn out. I put these on there and it fixed the problem. They are so sturdy and I love that they are greaseable. I also love how they look super good but have amazing functionality. These are way cheaper then other alternatives and I would 100% buy them again.

I love the look of these hinges. They are much sturdier than the stock tailgate hinges of my 2014 Wrangler JKU. The install was fairly easy, only issue was the instructions said to use the included hardware, however the hardware include made no sense and I don't think it was correct, took off a star for this. They were a bunch of small bolts, washers and nuts, not the larger bolts needed for this. I ended up just using the OEM hardware I took off, just hit them with a little black paint first. The included black vinal squares were a great thought to cover up the little area where the paint (or lack thereof) showed through.

Great product that really helps with heavier/ bigger tires. These are significantly better and stronger than the stock hinges. They are also greasable, which is an unexpected bonus in my eyes. Only complaint is that 2 Allen screws got ruined when tightening them. So when it's time to remove them I'm going to have to buy new ones. Other wise it would be a five star product.8/15/18 update: I have gone on many off road trips to Rausch Creek and this thing has been rock solid. For the money this cannot be beaten. I have a set of 35" tires and it shuts perfectly without rattle. Need to regress the hinges soon but other than that this is a great upgrade for anyone that has larger tires.

The simplicity of installation instructions were well worded with the minimal amount of tools. It was nice to have the thump gone every time you drove over a bump, seems very solid.

I have been looking for a stronger hinges as I upgraded my tires to 33s. Stock hinges are too soft for the bigger spare tire. I do not want to buy the expensive rear steel bumper with built in tire carrier. I was really happy that I found this amazing product. It is much beefier than stock hinges. Installation was super easy, done it within 1hr. It comes with all required hardwares (bolts, nuts & even a packet of anti-seize). The tailgate swings much smoother after installing these hinges. 100% happy!

Had a tailgate rattle over every bump, grrrr. This was caused by my oversized tire being roo heavy for the OEM hinges, so wound up taking the spare off just to get some quiet. Found these little beauties and the problem is solved. Took about 30 mins to pull off the old and replace with new. Well built, heavy duty and not bad to look at. Very Happy with this purchase.Follow up 2022. Still holding up! I have had zero issues, tight fit, normal door swing with no stiffness. Whoda thought strong door hinges that work as advertised.

Had the horrible Gate rattle. These fixed the problem. They are heavy duty and look to be made to last. Install is super easy, and only takes about 30 min. Clean and paint under the stock hinges before installing these. Don't let the rust creep onto the new hinges

Installed very easily. No more tailgate rattle going over bumps. Tailgate feels secure and moves smoothly. Nice to be able to grease the hinge pin.
