You definitely want the tire pressing against the tire carrier base and/or the hinge. It will reduce vibration and motion that could possibly break something. Be careful snugging the tire, though; you don't want it so close that when you tighten the lugs you put a lot of stress on the carrier. It took me three tries to get it firm but not too tight.

Any body have the hi lift bracket with only the RotoPax gas can and water can. I was looking at running a 3gal gas and a 2 gal water can.
Will these two fit??

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.

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?

TeraFlex

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.

I ordered the accessory mount back in February from a sponsor. Any idea on when it will get shipped?

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

Thanks. Looks like it really won't work that great.
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!!

hey thanks for the picture and summary.
maybe putting a Rotopax off the spare is my way out.. I wanted one for gas-3gal and one water H2O 2gal
not planning a hi-lift jack for now...
