Getting this hinge this week. Does anyone know if I need or should get the adjustable carrier? I'm going to be running AEV pintlers with BFG KM2s (either 33s or 35s, haven't decided). Thanks.

You still have plenty of backspacing with pintlers, if I were you I'd try it without first

With your tire and wheel choice, very likely you will not need the Teraflex Adjustable Tire Carrier. IF you should it is easily added after initial install of the Teraflex Hinge.

Your a funny guy woody
There is no need... But the fatory location is terrible.

I see people mounting them to the carrier bracket, and was wondering what they are using for a light...

You buy your own, like a plate light for a motorcycle or whatever, and tap into your tail light for power.

I just bought some LED Plate studs off of amazon for like $6.. They work well enough to be legal.

Finally installed my hinge. We'll see if the aev pintlers will fit. I believe my tire size will be about 33.5.
