Ha, yeah, that is a given. And more than a good start. I just wonder long term how the hinges will hold up along with a possible hit to the tire.
Don't get me wrong, I love the design. I thought the TF concept was awesome, till I was at hammers and saw when Tom's cracked. I have since gone with the EVO corner mounted, but would have strongly considered this.

The Original Smartass
Evo uses 3/16 steel, the terabreak is made out of some kinda pop tin shit with bad welds. No comparison.
Even not hearing feedback yet, I would run this any day of the week. Anything the EVO engineer builds is very well thought out and tested.

I know the compound/material/manufacturing is far better. But I was under the impression at least part of the problem was the weight on the hinges. And if you should happen to hit or catch the spare with this style carrier.

You won't be dissapointed in the CC carrier! I love mine but I also kind of wish I would've held out for the evo.

Oh for sure. As I noted, still thought some concern with the hinges. That point is only touched on the product description.

I hear you, brother. My stock carrier made a bumping noise I didn't like, with a 33 on it. I want to go EVO body mounted, myself, if I can make myself drill into the corners.

Do it. After that first hole, it gets easier. [emoji106]

Do you mean how the tires weight is still loading on the two existing hinge attatchment points on the body?
Just installed Maximus 3 and it is the same way, new steel hinges attach to the body and the factory ones get moved on top of them to only support the weight of the tailgate.
I am concerned about the actual strength of this setup as well, guess I'll just have to see at this point.
This EVO version looks plenty strong on its own, as with the Maximus - I would think the weak point on both is the body itself at the attachment points but I'm no engineer, so I put my trust in good American companies and their expertise - I would try it.

i have yet to hear about a genright failure or crawler concept or poison spyder (body mount) or terrorflex carrier failure at the hinge. the four carriers mentioned are all mounted the same way and from what i understand the genright and poison spyder carriers only use the drivers side of the carrier to latch it closed while the left side of the tub supports most of the weight.

That is reassuring to hear, I wonder if anyone here has seen personally, or knows of someone coming down on the tire with these setups.
I am currently running an inverted ball hitch (minus the ball) to take the brunt of the force but maybe I don't need to?

this looks interesting. Looking forward to some reviews. :yup:
Anyone know the weight of these things?
