OR fab tire carrier rusting!!

Tell me about it...I have a tailgate rattle and they can't find it. I am not imagining it I just am glad they are mod friendly I say if they can't figure out what it is, rip it off and have them give you some foam!

I had this in mine too. Mine snaps in and out though, easily removed. Kinda like a panel. Just pop it out, do the work from underneath, and pop the thing back on. It was very simple.

GAH. I got that little plastic piece off, now tightening the bolts has became easier. It's still a sore on my wrists though. I can feel the carrier getting tighter, but even the slightest down pressure on the latch side causes it to drop drastically.

Just installed my carrier this weekend. I don't have my new 35s yet, but knowing the extra weight would be mounted, I tightened the carrier to the point where the arm lines up about halfway UP on the catch mechanism. I need to push down a bit to get it to rest flush with the catch, but it opens & closes fine. Even if the added weight of a 35 spare, rotopax cans, and other doohickeys doesn't line everything up perfectly, I'd rather the carrier be a tad high than low. This added upwards pressure helps rid of potential rattle issues too. I'm loving this carrier
