To all people that have this hinge and carrier, does it rattle at all?

I'm still using a stock carrier with stock hinges (because I only have stock tires), but soon i'll be going up to 35's and would like to know how bad the rattle is. My father has a Rugged ridge bumper and swing away tire carrier and that thing rattles so much I would rather just ditch the spare all together (we're both looking at the teraflex hinge and carrier alternative).

Not a single rattle! My spare is snug as a bug in a rug.

This is going in my favorites bar and I'm getting this once I order my 35's. Finally a Tire carrier that retains factory mounts.

Not a single rattle. Running hinge and stock carrier with 37's.

mine's dead silent. No movement at all. Having the hinge able to support so much weight, I was able to mount some of my trail tools safely on the gate also sound/rattle free.

Here is mine with the hinge and adjustable carrier. I am only running a 35 so I didn't need the new carrier but I liked being able to raise the tire up off of the bumper and pull it in closer to the gate. I think the 3rd brake light bracket looks good.

Mine is also rattle free.

That's a super clean set up. How did you do it?

Thanks, Just some drilling and self tapping screws. The chem fire extinguisher came with a quick release bracket, bought a small pair of rubber 'quick fists', from hardware store two garden tool wall clamps, and mag-lite specific plastic clamps. Puzzled everything on one at a time, ended up very tight and functional.

Nicely done!
