Damn.. I was hoping it will be less than 500 bucks. Are we just paying for the design or is steel that expensive now? Damn!

Will this cause corrosion issues like many have with the hinges being of different metals?

Well, I just ordered my AEV Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier the other day before I learned about the TeraFlex Tailgate Tire Carrier. I'm gonna keep my eye out for this when it finally does become available. If I like it, I'll be picking it up and selling a month or two only AEV Tire Carrier.

Cast or machined?
Cast. I will check and see what the hinge material is made of.

TeraFlex is still working on some options for this new tire carrier. What options would you like to see with this tire carrier?
@ Teraflex .... i would like to see the mount be able to carry accessories , like someone already mentioned rotoplax cans or even incorporate a CB mounting point.
