Are you carrying all of those rotopax in the 2nd pic at the same time?

Can you show how you connected the top rotopax mount? I was thinking of the same set up for mine.

Amazon currently has the tire carrier for $173 and has the brake light extension for $59.

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.

Ditto mine jiggles a bit also but I haven't had any issues structurally. I also can't move it in any further either.

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.

Anyone mount a jerrycan instead of a rotopax to this hinge?

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.

I guess the clearance may depend on which jack you have. After I mounted my jack, the first time the tailgate was open it broke the taillight.
