Default Terraflex or Tactik Adjustable Spare Mount with Hinge Reinforcement?

I'm not seeing anyone talk about the Tactik hinge and mount. Bit cheaper than the Terraflex combo.

Thoughts going to 35" tires?

It looks just like the rugged ridge one. I have a thread going about these. I think the teraflex is to pricey.

Teraflex one is pricey I have it but I know it works well they seem of similar design. If I would've known about these I would've skipped the teraflex.

Smittybilt also just came out with an exact copy too.

So if I would have waited 4 months I could have chosen one of these 3 new ones for 200 bucks less

I agree. I have the Teraflex, but that's only because the other options didn't exist. Now the only reason to get TeraFlex is if you like the style or you are just loyal to the brand.

I stopped running a spare on the back, I did keep the TeraFlex hinge though, because it looks pretty badass.

I just modified a poison spider tramp stamp to fit with it

It does look badass even with no spare!

Did you have to mod the corner armor to fit with it?

the way I look at this mod, ANYTHING is better than the stock garbage that's there. I went with morryde/jscherb hinges and they work fantastic.

I was considering this, but I've read a lot about fitment and finish issues.
