Always wondered if I put a sticker on the rear glass saying "don't slam the gate!" Would help remind people that my tail gate is not an anger management tool.

Any more info about this LOD tire carrier? I was pretty set on theraflex but perhaps I'll wait and see what comes about this November.

Interesting. Last I knew TF was sending out cease and desist notices to anyone incorporating the factory hinge into a tire carrier setup. Oh and if you make those stickers, ill take one

This time around I decided I wanted a carrier that opened easily with the gate without having to remove any pins/clips. I'm fairly happy with the Tereflex carrier, but it doesn't seem nearly as solid in the closed position as my Genright was(Worth the trade off for ease of access to the back.)
Works well with the Poison Spyder BFH Rear.

So far so good for me. Like mentioned above, the tailgate closes very solid. No rattle from spare tire while driving. I don't have the rotopax mount. I like the antenna mount though and it wasn't too pricey.

Anyone have an aftermarket bumper paired with theirs? Thanks to those that have the EVO D ring set up posted. Good visual for alternative bumper styles.

Now I just run the rotopax on the $75 mount, but at least it's quiet again and I don't have to worry about the jack smashing the glass if the gate were to be closer before the glass. One major downfall still, all of my friends feel the need to slam the tailgate shut even with a heavy ass tire/wheel on it. The whole jeep shakes.
I bought an extra handle isolator to help with the hi lift rattles. One towards the top & one near the bottom helps a lot.

I like the PSC rear bumper set up. Very nice.

So to use your jack you have to remove that whole rotopax setup?
