The thing about this system is if you do put a gas can on the back of the spare tire, using the stock bumper/tailgate the way it is, it seems like it would add quite a bit of weight to it. The tailgate can only handle so much weight before it starts to get damaged. Just a thought.

I'm only running 33's, not much weight difference from stock. Have a plastic gas can, and whatever the hi lift weighs. Shouldn't put too much stress on it. I have plans to get either the Bestop heavy duty replacement or the Hanson one.

Kinda like the versatility of it, however was never a big Smitty built fan.

I would only load this up and use it on trail rides, wouldn't be on for everyday use. My Jeep is not a DD so, I'm not in and out of the garage all that much anyhow.

Get a Wilson flex series antenna. You can just about bend it in half before it will damage. I went through a few Firestik's until I discovered the Wilson.

I-Rack
An other thing you have to know about the I-rack is:
- It will not fit with the JK stock tire...center hole too small needs 2.5''
- The mount they give you for the jerry can only fits metal jerry can. So I had to buy the Blitz usa Metal Gas Can Carrier and install it to the I-rack.
I wasn't expecting having to buy that jerry can mount because, on smittybilt website the picture showing the I-rack has the jerry can mount that I had to buy....
It's a bad representation....anyway....I was dissapointed about that, but I'm happy now...
