how is everyone's new design carrier holding up? My 2014 Rubicon X is on order and i was going to try the teraflex tirecarrier out. I ran AEV's tire carrier on my last jeep and it worked great. But i really like the clean factory look of the teraflex kit. Will be starting out with 35s on methond race wheels standard rim in 17x9 (4.5" bs). But i am sure i will switch over to 37s on the same wheel down the road lol.

I got the Daystar adjustable bumpstops for the tailgate to fix mine. I room and trimmed it down to approximately the same thickness as the tire carrier, which worked out to cut it at the indentation closest to the tailgate. That will help stabilize the left side and get rid of the rest of the wiggle, as mine is rock solid now.

Finally have everything on. I like it a lot. The tire is on there solid, no jiggle. My wheel has 5.5" of backspacing so getting it snug against the carrier was not a problem. The clearance for the jack and the taillight is mm, but with the door fully open they do not touch. Awesome design and pretty easy to install.
