We have one of the stiffest (heh) tire carrier systems on the market. We spend a long time making sure of that as we hate watching the tire flop around when hauling butt offroadLooks cool. I wonder how it will be on harsh washboard roads. For 40 miles
Mine is starting to develop flop lately ?We have one of the stiffest (heh) tire carrier systems on the market. We spend a long time making sure of that as we hate watching the tire flop around when hauling butt offroad![]()
Is the tire adjusted tightly against the carrier? Is the spindle nut tight? Can you pinpoint where any movement is happening?Mine is starting to develop flop lately ?
Yes and yes. It’s a front to back motion. Most noticeable on trails or bumps in the roadIs the tire adjusted tightly against the carrier? Is the spindle nut tight? Can you pinpoint where any movement is happening?
I put a message in with our engineering team to see what could be up.Yes and yes. It’s a front to back motion. Most noticeable on trails or bumps in the road
I appreciate that. I look forward to your replyI put a message in with our engineering team to see what could be up.
Some flex at the tire is going to be normal. We see a little with our 37" tire. If you see a lot, you want to make sure that there is nothing obviously loose (bearings, bolts, etc...) and you want to make sure the tire is tight against the carrier itself. If you shake the tire and can't notice anything in particular moving and the whole system is just flexing a small bit as a unit, that is what you want.I appreciate that. I look forward to your reply
Alright, we will take a look.I seen adapter brackets are available to mount a JL/JK rear bumper on JT "I think on Q-Tec" yesterday. I don't think I seen it posted on this thread. That could be a option.
