Caught the Bug
Thanks for the offer Robert, but I'm good with how it is right now. If you guys update the opening stop, then I'd be interested. You can see how the evo hi-lift mount hits metal on metal to the hinge.

For those with this carrier, how "solid" is it? Say compared to an AEV carrier? Does it jiggle? I'm considering getting this or the aev. Now I've ran the aev in the past and liked it however, I didn't like the off center aspect of it. The evo hinged seems to be exactly what I'm looking for on this build. Just looking for a little input. Maybe someone up in norcal has one I can look at in person?

Is there anywhere to mount rotopax on it? Or has someone come up with one?

Yes, you can get the license plate or rotopax mount. So for I can use one or the other not both. Maybe I'm not doing it right?

On my list of things to get next is the universal rotopax mount.

With a pair of aluminum strips and some hardware, you can run both:

There's really not much to it. Picked up a 4' 3/4" strip of aluminum and some stainless steel hardware from the local Ace Hardware. Measured it out, cut, drilled, and smoothed it out. Took about half an hour and cost about $25.

Well i pulled the trigger on the tire carrier, can anyone chime in on why the top portion of the tailgate itself now has a gap? It almost seems i need another spacer that goes between the carrier and the tailgate up top. The bottom calls for two spacers, whereas the top only requires one. Any suggestions?

There was never that much of a gap with the factory hinges. The top NOW has a much larger gap than the bottom.

Okay, let me clarify that I'm talking about the factory tailgate not aligned straight with the body. It tapers from top to bottom. It's almost as if the evo carrier pulled the top portion of the factory tailgate outward at the top.

That is exactly how mine is. The single spacer up top and 2 spacers on the bottom.
I've taken it off and put it back on and I change. It's the same with and without a tire back there too.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll try and add another spacer up top, maybe it'll push the gate back in. I know it's nothing serious. Just bugs me is all.
