Teraflex Tire Carrier?

I know this is an old post, but- check the install video from Teraflex. They recommend removing all gaps, so the tire rests on the hinge on one side, and the remaining bumpstop on the other. Shouldn't be any wiggle after that. I think this is important to avoid stressing the tire carrier itself.

I was also wondering about a 3 gallon can and after some google research I came across this statement from Teraflex: *NEW* TeraFlex Hinged Tire Carrier Accessory Mount! - Page 2 - Jeep Wrangler Forum
The answer is:
I believe that if you want to carry two cans then you will probably have to mount a Hi-Lift Jack and then attach the cans to the Hi-Lift.
The answer is:
If you went with a 3 gallon you could damage your tail light when you fully opened the tailgate.

Does anyone know what the load rating is on the hinge? I've heard the stock should not go heavier than 50lbs...? Just curious because if I'm I'm running a 35, the hi-lift, 2 cans on the accessory mount, would I still be able to run 2 more cans off the spare?

The TeraFlex Hinge carries all the weight of the tailgate/spare/hi-lifte, etc. It really depends upon how much clearance you want with the tail light when the tailgate is swung open.

Is there an actual weight limit (ie 100lbs, etc)? I'm trying to figure out how much weight I can put on it without damage

Maybe Teraflex could chime in on exactly what you can put on this carrier with and without interfering with the lights. It seems to be not so easy to come by.
I was hoping to put a couple RotoPax on without the highlift jack.
Thanks

I'll clear up right now. This is teraflex hi lift mount with rotopax mounts. You can only fit a 2 gallon for body clearance with gate all the way open on the right. you can purchase an addtl mount for the left hand side to fit a 3 gallon as pictured at least with a 35" tire. I have had this for awhile now as i got in on the first order shipment. The quality is great but i have problems with the design. First off the cb antenna is mounted very close to the high lift which interferes with its ability (see other posts). In all honesty your hi lift has become an accessory mount. Yes its great quality and you can fit a 2 gallon and a 3 but if you actually have to use it you are gonna spend a lot of time to get all the "stuff" unbolted!. This is mounted on a 42" hi lift which was recommended because of clearance in case the gate swings shut with the glass. Not to mention you have to cut down the 42" a few inches to clear it. Dont most of you run at least a 48"?? I am actually thinking of selling the whole package myself (for all of those waiting on backorder). Just my .02
Im currently trying to find a better way to mount my rotopax. The tire carrier itself is awesome!!
