I have heard many great things about the Terflex carrier: I almost got one but I got a crazy good deal on the OR-Fab and wanted to carry 2 Jerry cans. I've had it for over a year now and am extremely pleased with it.

Things I know about the OR-Fab

-Made in the USA (Chino Valley, AZ)
-Great paint job
-Strong, high quality hardware
-Awesome packing and shipping
-No sagging issues
-Very well written instructions

Check out Draken off-road , I've had mine on for over a year with 35s no sags or rattles. Made in the USA, solid steel and half the price. I'm very happy with mine

"No, Trey"
"Is that T-R-A-Y?"
"No, with an E"
"T-R-A-E?"
"Nevermind, just call me John"

Haha I know exactly what you mean. My legal name is Jack so I'll use that when people can't understand "Trey". I've been called Troy, Trent, and even Greg! Not sure how they got that one...

Happy with my OR Fab installed recently. Installation is not as easy as youtube suggests IMO.
Also has space for gerry cans, hi lift, etc.

Hey, I got the Teraflex and have had it on quite a while. I wheel at least once a month and it has been awesome. It is sturdy and solid and doesn't mind the 35s at all.

You can also probably get away with just running a spacer on the stock carrier, but if you do, make sure you get some extended isolators (I think Daystar) runs them.

I have the Teraflex hinge, tire carrier, and accessory/hi-lift carrier and love it, but it is expensive.
Yup! Eddie is tool that pimps whoever gives him free parts and hates whoever doesn't.

I have the Teraflex and love it. A first gen that was installed properly
