Ignoring the obvious difference in material thickness, take a close look at the bolts acting as the hinge pins.
Ill put them on and let you know if my tire/ tailgate falls off
Don't buy cheap garbage.
I didn’t buy them, found them laying around from another Jeep we have. Had to guess the brand visually since they don’t have any info on them.
If what you found laying around is what you linked to, then you are no better off using a pair of shed door hinges from the hardware store.
I’m usually one to go after the quality parts, but the reviews only suggesting the bolts getting rusty makes me tempted haha
There is a lot more not happening in your found hinges that should dissuade you from hanging a 35" spare tire off of them. The factory hinges are significantly better.
Had this on my last Jeep. Worked great no problems
