yeah for sure, I ordered mine a month ago too knowing it would be a wait, but well worth it once they're out!

Got mine in last week Ordered mine from NR two weeks before released. I also got the 42" hi lift. Joe at teraflex recommended the 42" and even cutting off the top a few inches to prevent anything from happening if the gate slammed shut with the glass open it would clear. Picked up a 2 gallon water for the right hand side of the hi lift as that seams to be the max but also got a 3 gallon fuel for the left hand side. Wish I would have ordered two rotopax mounts as they are backed up on orders now for awhile Probably just make one based off the dimensions of the one I did get though.

Bought my Teraflex tire carrier last week. It was somehow cast such that the top was about 3/8 inch off the tailgate while the bottom was flush. ONE call to AJ @ Teraflex.....they sent me a replacement 3-day shipped from Utah to NC.....and are taking care of me on the return shipping of the original piece. The replacement carrier was perfect. Anyone who is on the fence.....trust in their customer service-they stand behind their outstanding products. Forgot to mention-I bought this from a vendor and Teraflex took care of me as if I had bought it direct with no questions asked. Thanks again AJ.

So I know some people were asking about how to go about locking the hi-lift to the carrier, and we decided to keep it simple and go this route.

There are already holes in the hi-lift, so we just drilled one more in the carrier, nothing big.

It works nice because the lock can swing up so we don't have to try to put the key in from below, and there aren't any rattles from what we can hear from the lock.

Sorry for the image quality, it's dark.

Can anyone advise the right size bolts to fill the (3) on the top horizontal tapped holes of the tire carrier? Don't like them to shine and wanna keep stuff/ debris out. Also thinking about putting a bolt through the back of one of the factory bumpstops (the top one that is covered by the TFlexcarrier) and securing it in the left hole.

Another option in place of bolts to fill the holes, I used some black plastic plugs from hardware store.
