LJ Spare Tire Delete

[Cpt_Caveman]

Hey guys, I’m looking for suggestions for a spare tire delete for an LJ. Are the TJ AND lJ identical in this regard? I know there are slight differences, and wasn’t sure if this was one of them. Are there any consequences to covering the vent?
Also, I am not looking to relocate the tag.
To answer any question before we start, yes, I will still carry a spare with me, just not on the back.
Thanks in advance

The vent on the back gate is for releasing pressure when you close the doors with a hardtop. I believe it's only 03-06 that use that method. so if your not running a hardtop it shouldn't be an issue

Thanks strumble. I’m running one right now, but that’ll come off as soon as I can source a soft top at a decent price!
