Yes there are accessorys in the works I think I might make myself some instead of waiting.

I just put mine on a few days ago. Yes price is a bit steep, however, the carrer achieved what I hoped it would. Absolutely no more up and down tail gate flutter. So, money well spent for me

Initial impressions......you have no idea how much quieter my gate is now. I thought a lot of my noise was my hi-lift jack on the rear, but I was wrong. I didn't know my hinges were as bad ad they were before I took them off yesterday. The gate shuts easier and doesn't fly open. Will anyone plug the spare mounting holes until they find something to use with them?

I was thinking about that... Maybe just plug them for now with bolts or rubber plugs until they release the accessory mounts avlbl for the carrier. I msgd TF last week asking about the mounts they're working on, they were great in getting back to me quickly saying: "No mounts available any time in the near future because we keep changing the designs". Oh well, somethin to look forward to!

Think there is any way it would hold a 40" tire?

I had thought about buying the Poison Spyder BFH rear bumper and using the TF carrier to hold my spare but wonder if it could hold the weight of a 17" beadlock and 40" tire...I doubt there would be any clearance issues with the BFH bumper it's just can the hinge and carrier hold the weight

What rear bumper do you have. That set up looks good. Do you have any dislikes on the gate hinge I'm thinking about pulling the trigger and ordering one.

Just installed mine and it's great! Very solid setup. As for the accessories, I saw one of teraflex's jeeps and it had the hi-lift mounted vertically with a rotopax on the same side. Looked really nice!

Thank you. The rear bumper is from Eautogrilles on ebay. They make a few different styles that are super stout and priced fair, mine was $335 shipped. There's a thread on here that you can get all the info about eautogrilles bumpers called "I did the Unthinkable". The carrier is great, my Nitto's are heavy for a 295/70/17, and my tailgate bashed up and down like crazy. With plans to run 35's in the future, this carrier did exactly what I'd hoped it would and got rid of any and all gate flutter I had. Price is kinda high, but no regrets so far! Very solid.

I am still waiting on my tire carrier but I put the hinge on this weekend and this thing is stout. I feel like I could hang off the tail gate now.
