I noticed that the Bestop Trail Rack is rated to handle 75 lbs. This amount of weight plus the rack itself added to an oversize tire say a 33" or 35" isn't that going to kill the hinges on the rear gate?



I like the concept just don't see it working very well without hinge damage

Any body using the Bestop Trail Rack? If so do you like it?
Have any pics on how this bolts on?

 

I was wondering this same thing. You think it would be fine with the stock 32" rim/tire though?

 

ya i cant see that being good. too much weight on there as it is with a 35" tire.
mine is 80pounds for the tire alone + wheel, i cant imagine another 75 pounds on there.
