Default Tereflex HD hinge

I've looked around for a while at adjustable tire carriers to add to my tereflex HD hinge tire carriers.
I keep reverting back to the smittybilt one. I know TF makes one also but I like the t- handle on the smittybilt.
Any other options I have not found yet.

I'll be using 35s or 37s .

I have heard that the Terra Flex carriers had an issue breaking. Has this issue been fixed?

many moons ago. I have one with 60,000 miles toting around a 35" toyo and a fair amount of offroading. If my jeep were stolen tomorrow I would replace it with the same set up.

I've seen one that used the smittybilt with the TF HD hinges
Does the Smitty mess up the wheels where the thandle mounts

The Teraflex HD hinged tire carrier set up is bomber. I would buy one again with zero hesitation.

I modded my Smittybilt with the TF. It's been on many years with a 37.

there are many cases of the tf carrier breaking on other forums, just google search it. This is even after they "fixed" it. You can run a 35 just fine on the rear tailgate, just make sure you have the tire supported against it with the rubber isolators.

Look at evolander, the jeep that offroad evolution uses, its been running a 37 on a stock tailgate for some time and it takes a beating and is totally fine.

I havent had any issues with my 35 on my tailgate, you just have to make sure its supported correctly. No need to blow $500 on something that you dont need

I ran a 37 on Teraflex carrier for a while. No issues. Deleted it when I went to 38s though.
