Been dealing with a lot of shit lately and haven't done anything to the Jeep in a while since the bumpers.
Finally getting back around to it and I'm gonna go ahead and order the EVO tailgate mounted carrier tomorrow, along with rocker guards and a winch. The carrier has been next on the list for a while now as I find myself checking my rear view almost constantly to see how violently that damn spare is shaking.
I did pick up some 1 and 1/4" heater hosing to cut and stick into the stock tailgate bump stops, and while that did eliminate the rattle when closing the tailgate it didn't solve the issue of it bouncing and shaking up and down anytime I drove over uneven pavement, washboard roads, or when pulling out of driveways. I knew what I was getting myself into throwing it on the stock carrier, so I'm glad I'm finally getting a reinforced one.
