Install evidence

Bestop source wording says: If you're running big-dog tires on your Wrangler, the factory tire carrier on the tailgate will not be up to the job. Verify mounting points, cargo area layout, tailgate/top state, load rating, tray/bracket pairing, lock/security goals, and whether drilling or factory holes are involved.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For bolt-on parts, the last check is the exact vehicle and option setup: year/model/trim, sensors or cameras, lights, winch or recovery plan, finish, related brackets, and whether the customer is installing it or sending it to a shop.
