Has anyone bashed their evo carrier or heavily abused it. Anyone done the same with the poison spyder one?
Tailgate crack spot welds after one year with 35 (lot’s of rattling), with several off-road trips. I would look into something with tire carrier.

I am thinking of replacing my stock tire carrier but don't want to do it asap since I can't choose what one to get but also don't want to ruin my tailgate. I'm running 35" nitro trail grapplers and 17" atx slabs.
Here's a full photo of all the cracks/spot welds (red arrows). Driving around town would probably be alright for quite some time, and provably even for a few years, but I don’t know about wheeling often with the OEM carrier. In my case, I have a few trips this year, and sure as hell don't want my tire to fall-off on the trail or on anyone on the road.

Let's see how the tire is mounted
Going on 4 years. Just went to 37's from35's about 9 months ago. Won't to the slabs a couple months ago. No damage to the gate.... I've run and stops since I first went to the 35's. I also don't run a rear bumper. View attachment 145612View attachment 145613View attachment 145614
