In this episode of the Quadratec Academy, Rob installs new tailgate hinges on a 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Chances are, if you’ve got an older Wrangler, your tailgate hinges are probably starting to show their age. The factory used a sealed, non-serviceable hinge and over the years moisture can make its way into the hinge pins causing corrosion which will start to make the hinges harder to open and close, make them noisey and eventually causing them to seize up completely. Fortunately, there are plenty of options when it comes to replacement tailgate hinges. The steps to install some new hinges are very hard, however, the process can be a bit frustrating because just like those hinge pins, odds are the bolts securing your hinges most likely have a good bit of corrosion on them as well. In this video, Rob will show some tips and tricks to hopefully make the process of replacing your hinges easier, helping you to get the job done so you can enjoy a quiet and smooth opening and closing tailgate once again!

Would love to see you work on some YJ wanglers. Would it be the same process for a YJ wangler as well?
Great that you Replaced one hinge @ a time… it helps hold the gate and maintain your gaps
I think it would be easier to drill a hole in the hinge, add a zerk fitting, then pump in some grease.
I enjoyed watching how you tackled the rusty bolts more than I did installing the new hinges. It gives me an idea of what I'm facing in replacing my 04s.
I think I could learn to live with the squeaky hinges.
That is exactly how most of my projects went when I had a TJ. Not so much with my JL.
