Teraflex tire carrier issue!
Alright... So I purchased the Teraflex Hinged Carrier and Adjustable Spare Tire Mounting Kit a little less than a year ago and have been pleased with it, BUT here's my issue. I went outside this morning to rotate my tires and when I took my spare off I noticed that the adjustable tire mount has a crack along one of the welds. There website says that it's rated for up to a 37". I"ve only ever had a 35" BFG KM2 on it.
Has anyone else had an issue like this? I tried calling teraflex but they are closed on the weekends... Any thoughts are appreciate. Definitely feeling a little disappointed.

You may have purchased one of their earlier carriers. There were some weak spots in the original design that are being addressed in an ongoing evolution.
Give them a call on Monday or e-mail them with a message and pics. They will probably get back to you within the week with an offer to send out a replacement part with the newer design.

I'll say it again they should spend less of our hard earned money on they stupid ass videos and more on their products (and I can say that owning Teraflex parts). What next a 35 or 37" tire flying off killing an entire family in a car behind them one day!!!!!! Sounds like they're starting to believe the hype on all their products starting to coast now. So glad I went with a different carrier for my newly purchased 37" MTR's

Their videos are top notch and I'd imagine are an enormous benefit to many of their buyers. I know I for one bought the Teraflex because I could see the ease of installation in their video and I'd bet I'm not alone. That being said, they should be open on weekends to help out us weekend warriors. A lot of guys wrench on the weekends, they should at least have someone taking tech calls and emails.

I hope you check yours regularly. Your tire flying off and hitting someone... Just can't imagine having too live with that.
I've read at least 4 other posts about the carrier breaking. I just run the stock carrier since I have 35s, but I've installed Daystar bumps on both sides. I check my carrier every time I fuel up, and then a full inspection with tire off every oil change.
