maximum weight for stock tire carrier and gate?
What is the max weight that is considered safe and fine to carry on the stock tailgate?

I dunno I'm running 98 lbs of a Wheel Tire combo plus 15 lbs of Water and Gas on my RotoPaX. For a month no problems even went grocery shopping, Picked the kids up from school with it so the door has been opening and closing a lot this month.
I thought I was hearing banging from it but it ended up being my snach-block bouncing around hitting my other tools in the cargo tray.
Now its quiet I hope it holds up or I'll just open my wallet and get a TF Hinged kit

The manual for my 07 X states max load of 50 lbs. Odd though because Rubi wheel/tire weighs 75 lbs.
I carried Nitto 33's for a yr with my OE carrier, worked fine for a few months. As time went by, the hinges began to wear bad to the point my gate would clunk upand down over the littlest bumps. The idea being, if you do much offroad, the OE carrier will carry some good weight, but only for a limited time. A stronger carrier will be needed down the road.

No first hand experience but I've read of a few folks having their teraflex carriers break on them. Do your homework first and make sure it will suit your needs.
