When I bought my Bronco I immediately bought a tire carrier "reinforcement" from a competitor. Over the past few months I've heard a creaking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle that's gotten progressively worse and louder, to where it sounded like an animal dying a miserable death. When I took the tire carrier off, It was actually curved from the weight. I've attached an edited picture to preserve the company's anonymity, perhaps you can figure it out :). The Turn Offroad carrier is ROCK SOLID. I lucked out and didn't have to do any of the adjustments on the hinges behind the passenger taillight. I also bought a flag carrier (not the HD) and didn't realize it wouldn't bolt directly to the accessory mounts. The product page didn't mention it would be needed, but I went back to order the MOLLE mount that will allow the flag carrier to be offset. Highly recommend this carrier, spend the money and do it right the first time!
