JCR tire carrier break

[wayoflife]

A good friend of mine has had issues with his JCR tire carrier rattling a lot and decided to take off his spare to find the problem and tighten things up. He has had the carrier for only one year running 37x13.50x17 Toyo M/Ts on 17" Walker Evans bead locks.

He pulled the wheel off and found this...

He contacted JCR who said this was their old design and were aware of this already happening. They also stated their updated carriers are welded all the way around. Of course, they are sending him a new/updated carrier. I'm just happy his wheel/tire still held on by one lug and didn't fall off as I was driving behind him.

Wanted to post this up as a heads up to anyone running this carrier to check yours and to keep an eye on it!!

Wow, just saw this thread and I'm glad that nobody got hurt from it. Kinda lame that JCR knew about this problem and never bothered to tell any of their customers about it. :naw:

Thanks for posting this up. Hopefully it'll help others out there.
