does it hang out there enough to hit the ground???

I've had mine on there for 12k miles and have no problems.

that doesn't make any sense... quadratec.com has a product for sale that bolts onto the tail gate where the stock tire carrier is and says it can hold up to 200lbs and a 37" tire... hmmmmmmmmm

That unit replaces the tire carrier.

yeah, i've seen that thing too. i don't know how the bestop tire carrier is that much different than the stock one.

i'm a little confused with the 50lb recommendation. i'm pretty certain that a stock rubi spare is gng to run over 50lbs.

i've also heard that the 50lbs thing means in addition to the stock spare. but who knows.

CarFanatic

hmm I thought it said 50 lbs including the spare??

When climbing vertical rock faces from flat ground, it often drags the bumper or tow hook.

yup, i was backing off a big rock, or it was coming off of another one! not sure which!

CarFanatic

hmm would a tire carrier have prevented the crease I take it?

Piginajeep

definetly. A tire carrier would'nt push into the tailgate. I smash my TJ's tire carrier off trees, rocks and everything else. and it hasnt touched the tailgate.

I'm waiting in the PJ's.
