Wow. Ive had my eyes open for awhile for a fair price on one of these. No more. Didn't realize terraflex wasn't a quality brand.

Teraflex has a history of producing defective products and all related to either cheap steel and/or bad design:

-Heavy duty Trackbars
-Frame brackets for control arms
-tire carriers

Yup, what he said. There's the tire carrier breaks that you've seen on this thread and then there's the track bars:

And frame brackets:

Their rocker guards crumple as well but, at least I haven't seen one break:

I should note, these were NOT hard hits.

Just in case it was missed on the other thread that FuriousDZ posted, here's proof yet again that TeraFlex will BLAME YOU for any break you have on their tire carrier.

Now there's a company I want to buy from :cheesy:

This isn't about the tire carrier but there is a video where the big blue TeraFlex jeep breaks a control arm mount. If you want I could post the video here.

That's the same jeep that was running this tire carrier when it first came out with a 40" tire. Back when it first came out it was rated for a 40" tire but teraflex quickly changed to a 38" tire. My guess is the original broke which is why they changed the size.

Yep. I just find it funny how they say it's installer error when the stuff on their own jeeps break. What is the excuse then?

Damn Eddie, hella trolling going on today. :D (Im David that made the last few comments.) Too bad you can't buy stock in Haterade...you'd be filthy rich. :D Like I said in the other thread, if you have THIS much hate, you know you're doing something right.

Just so that it doesn't get missed, FuriousDZ just had his TeraFlex Tire Carrier BREAK yet again! And, to be clear, this was AFTER he had his original tire carrier break at the mount and had since replaced it with the new TeraFlex mount. Apparently, all that did was shift the break to the next weakest point...

You can see and read more about it on the thread he started here:
http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?...ead-horse-but-NEW-Teraflex-Tire-Carrier-BREAK

Again, if you have one of these TeraFlex tire carriers, please do everyone a favor and keep a close eye on it.

Its not a real crack. Its CGI...an optical illusion

Yeah, the usual suspects and a lot of names I recognize from way back in the JKF days. A few claimed to have been banned here but when I pressed them for a reason and a screen name so that I could look into it, they were nowhere to be found. Most of these guys don't even know what I had said on my post - they just come to hate.

They call us "sheep" over on their forums yet they blindly hate Eddie any chance they get. Bet half of them didn't even read the comments or op on fb. I said my part. Glad Eddie saw it and liked it. I normally don't partake in those kinds of discussions but for all he's done for us, I figured a few positive words and actual facts needed to be pointed out. Even someone used to being hated on can use some support once in a while.

Eddie you really must have struck a nerve with this last post about the teraflex carrier, because other people with Facebook pages are starting posts about your posts! It's really amazing how ridiculous people can be!
