Jeep JK Walk Around! Amazon build?

What happens here

For the rear, the creator showcases his wheel and tire setup. He uses Black Rock rims (model not specified) paired with 295/70/17 Milestar Patagonia tires, which are approximately 33.8 to 34 inches in diameter. The creator expresses strong dissatisfaction with the Milestar Patagonia tires, citing poor performance in snow and significant wear after 20,000 to 25,000 miles, although he acknowledges their quietness and effectiveness in mud/gravel. He explicitly states he would not use them again. Other rear modifications include a black Jeep fuel door, likely an Amazon purchase, and tail light cages that protect the blacked-out Recon tail lights. These Recon tail lights, valued at $400, were a lucky find at a junkyard for only $50, leading the creator to recommend checking junkyards for parts. The rear bumper is a no-name brand, and the creator expresses a preference for a separate rear bumper and tire carrier setup, as integrated units often sag over time due to the weight of accessories. This independent setup allows for greater weight capacity and avoids frequent adjustments.

Goal: Detail the rear exterior components, including tires, fuel door, tail lights, and bumper setup.

What they say

Hide

rock sliders that come on there from stock. Moving on to the back part of the Jeep. Um I'm going to talk about my wheel and tire setup quick. So here I have the Black Rock um I don't know what model they are, but Black Rockck rims on a two uh 95717 tire. So about a 33.8 34ish tire. Um Milestar Patagonia. I got to do a whole review video just on the Milestar Patagonis because there's a lot of guys that run these tires. And to be honest with you, I'm just really not not a fan. I don't I would never run them again to be honest. I have about um 20,000 mi on them, 25,000 maybe. And they just they're wearing down. They're horrible in the snow. Um they're good in the mud. They are a mud tire, so I expect them to be good in the mud. the gravel, all that, but not in the snow, not really anything else. Uh, I will give it to them though. They are super quiet. So, continuing to move on to the back here, we have the hard top off of a I believe like a 2014 Jeep, which a 2008 and 2014, they do fit except for a couple things. cuz there's these pins that are located about right here on the hard top, the bottom that have to be cut off or they actually pound out, but you can cut them off. And then another thing is this little latch here. That latch right there doesn't work, but you can buy a a piece right here that goes up in there, replaces that. That will make that work. So, carrying on to the back here, we have the fuel door, the Jeep fuel door, which I just picked up. randomly from some website probably Amazon. Uh here we have the lights cages. And a cool story about these are that these headlights right here, these tail lights, I mean, are really nice tail lights. Um blacked out like I like them. They're Recon tail lights. $400 taillights. Picked them up for 50 bucks at a junkyard. So I'd definitely suggest going to junkyards to get some of your parts. Here we just have a brand name or no name actually, rear bumper. So I actually prefer just the rear bumper setup and not having the rear bumper and the tire carrier allin one. The reason I think that is because this tire just you can hold a lot more weight on the back of the tire here. And over time those rear bumpers start to sag down like this. You got to tight them up all the time. All that. Just having it on the door like this. I really do like that better than having the all-in-one. Um, so I got some other stuff on the back here. I'll show you that. And then I actually do have something shockwise that I forgot to…
