I'm going to eat about $80 in shipping to send the teraflex back. I probably can't afford to return the ACE bumper if I decide I don't want that.

Arrrrg, what to do.
Lol duh should have researched more first..... They fixed the weld problem on the previous TF carriers ..... New version should be good

Let me know if you want to sell whichever one you don't want locally.

I have the Ace Bumper Tire carrier. It's real nice. It is heavy but very well made with integrated led lights which really light behind you. Absolutely, no rattle or movement at all. N

I've been on that other forum. Some of the information is good some of it seems like sheeple information.

I just don't understand it. Wheeling isn't my only hobby; my wife and I enjoy Harley's as well. There's people out there that must have infinity dollars for mods with the bullshit I read. If you don't buy a 2,000 tire carrier you may as well not even buy one. I have no problems with my teraflex & I can keep the stock rear

dont know why anyone would hate on a great company like teraflex. customer service and products are just on point. some people have loyalty and thats fine. just like with any premium product theres gunna be that 2% percent out of lets say 10,000 that will be defective and its damn right annyoing when it happens to you. but if the company cares about its customers like teraflex they will totally replace and help you out

Considering it's a week old and I'm including the 3rd brake light- Is $650 fair?

ORWJK on this forum has them for less than $600 shipped new. Sucks if you paid more.
