for sure, especially if you call direct, Dave might give you an even better deal...

dunno what would be their phone offer, but at least on the NR web, there is the same price as everywhere else - 499USD for the carrier

Mine is also rattle free.
Yeah, this is the route to go. Less weight from a traditional carrier. Slap the TF bracket on (when it's released) for the RotoPax, do the clamp setup to the inside of the tailgate, done deal.

Cool thanks. I actually ordered some parts from them before so hopefully they have a hookup on these as well.

Question for you guys who had/have damaged tailgates;
I had a 295/70 Trail Grappler on XD wheel which apparently messed up my tailgate as I'm begining to see the signs of the two welds popping through the gate, as well as a really really annoying squeak when going over bumps. I've removed the spare for now, and most of the squeak has gone away, but I still do get it from time to time and it wasnt there prior to the tailgate being messed up.

if I get this teraflex carrier, would this remove the remaining squeak at all? Will that just be something I have to live with as a painful memory of times past?

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).
No rattles at all..
