Is it true the problem is always with the center hub section, and not the hinge?

Is it true the problem is always with the center hub section, and not the hinge?
To this day, I have yet to see a factory hinge fail for any reason. Unlike the TJ and YJ before it, the factory JK hinges are in fact, very strong.
Having said that, all the breaks are occurring on the adjustable tire mount and just behind the weld. You're probably better off just carrying your spare on your factory mount.
It's a good thing I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Clearly, you can choose to believe whatever it is you want to believe. :yup:

The mount is not going to spontaneously com-bust. As frequently as I open the tailgate, I look at that area purely because of this thread. I still say, if there is no vibration and everything is tight, this is a perfectly safe set up.

Don't worry, their fanboys too, just directed at other companies. . .

So you are a fanboy of not using the word fanboy? :thinking:
Here we go with the dramatics :drama: :naw:
While the mount may not "spontaneously combust", breaks can and often do occur suddenly and without notice. The one that started this thread occurred on a brand spankin new 2013 JK with new tire carrier and on its maiden voyage onto dirt. Of course, you can believe whatever it is you want to believe.
Wonderful! If you actually took the time to read the very first post I made, you would have realized that was the only thing I was encouraging guys like you to do.
So then, why bother checking this area as often as you do? :idontknow:
Now you've gone and done it - you've just lost credibility with the only other guy who might have agreed with you :grayno:

Yeah, if you would ask which company guys around here are the most fanatical about I wouldn't think Teraflex would be in the top picks.

Funny, it's okay for people you agree with to use the term fanboy and still have credibility but it's not okay for me. :thinking:

I never said I agreed with anyone. I haven't seen the break or how it broke. I've only seen one in person and never looked at the tire carrier as I have no interest in buying one. In fact I don't have any Teraflex gear on my rig.
I just don't see the necessity of degrading people because you disagree with them. Your opinion should be able to stand on your presentation of facts and what you conclude from them. The use of name calling makes your argument look weak as if you are afraid it isn't strong enough so you need to put down your opponent to make them look weaker. Therefore your argument in my eyes loses validity.
That's what I'm saying :crazyeyes:
:cheesy: There's no argument going on here, just a few guys have a good time and couple who might be getting butthurt. :crazyeyes:
But I have seen the break and unlike you, have a pretty good idea how it broke.
So in effect, you're only purpose for chiming in on this thread at all is to self-righteously preach at others - nice :thumb:
And I just don't see the necessity of you preaching at people just because you disagree with what they have to say.
Since you seemed to have missed it, I really couldn't care less what you think. Clearly, you have already chosen to believe whatever it is you want to believe and really, that's fine by me. Now that we know where we all stand, why not find another street corner and go preach over there :yup:
