Royal Hooks tailgate hinges
Manufacturing is good, design is strong but the alloy color fades from the sun. I bought red alloy and now they’re a dark pink shade. As much as they cost you’d think they would hold the original color. The same goes for the door and hood hinges made by Royal Hooks.

Solid Hinge
Bought these to fix the “banging” that would happen on bumps with the worn out hinges on the tailgate. They do a great job, but unfortunately they don’t come with any directions, which will leave you wondering where the two flat washers go. You need a 13mm socket and a T60 Torx, preferably one that fits on a ratchet, to remove the worn out hinges and a #6 and #5.5 metric Allen wrench, as well as the T60 Torx bit to install the new hinges. Replace the hinges one at a time and retain the Torx bolts to use on the new hinge. The 13mm bolts can be set aside with the old hinges. Install the hinge plate with the 3 Torx bolts that you retained, do not tighten them down, as you will need to adjust the tailgate at the time of tightening. Put 1 of the flat washers on the top side of the lower hinge bracket, this is what the hinge arm will ride on, hold the hinge arm with the pin holes aligned and slide the hinge pin in. Make sure that the pin goes through the washer and rests at the bottom of the of the hinge plate. Using the #6 Allen wrench, install the hinge arm into the tailgate, again, do not tighten. Use the #5.5 Allen wrench to install the hinge pin set screw in the top of the hinge plate, you can snug this set screw, but do not tighten. Repeat this step for the other hinge assembly. After the hinges are installed, hold the hinge arms at the upper limit, keeping them level, and light snug them into place with the #6 Allen wrench. With then glass open to see the alignment, lift up on the tailgate until the factory bend on the tailgate aligns with the factory bend on the Jeep body, then use the Torx bit to snug the outmost Torx bolts, tighten them enough to prevent the hinge plate from moving. Check the tailgate operation by opening it just a few inches and then closing it, if everything is aligned correctly, tighten the outmost hinge plate Torx bolt and the two Allen bolts an the hinge arm, then open the tailgate and tighten the two remaining Torx bolts on each hinge plate, then tighten the hinge pin set screws. Recheck the tailgate alignment and operation, and adjust as needed. Note - The outmost Torx bolts engage the hinge arms when the tailgate is fully opened, which does put a little nick in the hinge arms. To remedy this, I would recommend installing a tailgate hold open arm that can be adjusted to limit the tailgate from opening to its maximum limit or a short tailgate strap that also limits the maximum amount the tailgate will open.

Great hinges
These fit perfectly on my 2023 JL. They look great and feel very well built. The hardest part of the installation was getting the wiper arms off so I could access the rear bolts.

Royal Hooks Aluminum Door Hinges
I ordered a set of these hinges to replace the hinges on my 2022 Jeep Wrangler. The hinges on my Wrangler got chipped from rocks that got stuck in the tires and flew out while I was driving. These hinges look great, and should be a little more resistant to rock chips. I also purchased Weathertech mudflaps to add a little more protection against the flying rocks.

Aluminum Hinges
They were easy to install, look nice an look like good quality. My only dislike is when they machined them, they have these ridges or designs on them. I wish they would have machined the pockets smooth.

Royal Hooks Door Handle Review
Ok, these are relatively new to the market so when they were installed I had a lot of people approaching me complementing the handles. They look sharp.... 5 stars for appearance. Now, beware the cold. Maybe they should stress these handles would be great in Florida.... but not New England (or any other cold region). Frost causes a freeze on the handle so you cannot push the button in to open the door. It's brutal and takes a longer amount of time to thaw than the stock handles. Are they worth it? Depends on where you live I guess..... or just keep a thermos of hot water on you

Good quality product, easy to install and looks great! Only advice would be to get larger washers and the ones provided pull in to the existing hole if tightened too much.
