Not at all. Mine is completely silent. Check that everything is tight, especially the linkage behind the spare tire to the gate.

Need Convincing
I did my taxes over the weekend and when done told the wife the final number.. Almost $3k, NICE!! ok, so half of that was because of the new furnace rebate, but still.. So the wife says, "well if we have that much why don't you just get your Tire Carrier??" I think I got whiplash when I heard that. So now becomes the decision.
1. Do I go with the AEV Tire Carrier on my stock bumper with plans to put on the AEV rear bumper in the next year or two.
or
2. do I go with a cheaper combo package (tire/bumper) like the Smittybilt or similar
I really like the fact the AEV works with the tailgate and if I could find a combo for under $900 I would go that route, but haven't seen anything..
What does everyone think? ?
