I have had it for a year and half and got it directly from TF. My buddy just got one a couple months ago and his is identical to mine and it flexes exactly the same with his antenna. I should stipulate that living in Montana it is common for 80-85mph and windy conditions. On the trail or going slow not an issue.

 

Definitely a problem with quality control then. I don't get 80-85 mph winds but going 85 mph on the freeway with 35 mph gusts is not uncommon down here and mine stays put.

 

Are you sure it's not the antenna itself flexing? Theres no way that mount will flex due to wind. A video of this would help.

 

Installing the Teraflex Performance Leveling Kit (1.5") instead of going straight to a proper lift. Sure, it helped me get over 33" Duratracs, but the tires still got into the fenders when I was disconnected and flexed, and it probably performed exactly as well as a puck lift would have.

 

I only regret buying a 2012 JK. I should have bought an earlier model without the electronic BS that even the base model has. I have done a lot to it, but I am debating if I want to put more money in it. I just picked up a 1994 XJ 2dr is a back up for the JK, because a just can't trust the electronics not to let me down.

 

not 85mph winds I mean driving 80-85mph in say a 20mph head wind.
I have a spring on my antenna. trust me it is the antenna mount that is flexing. it is just the area at the 90* where the antenna goes. my buddies does it too and he just got his so maybe they just sent the bad ones to Montana no video I removed mine.

 

I've got a 12 knock on wood havnt had any issues.... What are you having trouble with?

I have a few. RC 4 inch lift. That thing was horrible. Getting 35's on 15's. When I had my original 2.5 lift on 33's should have went with a more aggressive tire and not the Falkons. Which where fine but I wanted a better look. All that no worries because that 2012 jku is gone and I have a new 2015 to do it right this time.

 

Buying used is probably the only thing I regret that I can think of right now. I could've had almost the same jeep minus a few mods with 15K miles now. Instead I have a 2008 with 45K miles on it and more mods. Give and take I guess. Then again, I like the 07-11 clutch way better than the 12-15 clutch. Cant stand that thing, so I guess I don't regret much at all

Edit: Actually! I regret not buying a non-entry level winch from the beginning. I loved my winch but it just wasn't ready for what I was going to put it through.

 

I had mine for a year before switching to a teraflex carrier with my new jeep. We use a lot of salt on the roads and I think this played a lot into the rust factors. I loved the look and convenience of it, plus it was easy to get the spare off and I still felt secure with a pad lock on the back. Unfortunately I had to paint mine twice in those 12 months
