So how durable is this tire carrier, say if you are traversing off a steep ledge and the rear tire drops but doesn't come in contact with the solid ground, and the majority of the jeep's weight slams on the tire carrier, could this potentially cause damage to the tire carrier or worse damage the carrier mounts/rockskin?
Thanks for any input.

You sould still take good lines and try not to smash the carrier, but it'll hold up just fine

The carrier is not just attached with nutserts, the brackets are bolted through the skin and tub with 16 grade 8 bolts. This carrier is designed to hold a 40" tire. It has been tested on the hardest trails in the US and not an issue fromt Fast desert speeds to Rockcrawling.

Just eager to get it on the jeep, and we're scheduled to hit some trails Feb. 10.

Doesnt look to bad at all. Mine is on order and I'm still running 35s (until I upgrade....). But I'm more interested in the function and durability behind the EVO carrier. I've been impressed with their gear I have installed so far.
