Teraflex hinged carrier or?
I can't decide which to go with. The teraflex or a bumper w/carrier. I've heard nothing but good things about the teraflex but not sure how it will be for the long run since its so new. Also looking at expedition 1 carrier. But that means will have to have it sprayed which will take it up to $1400. So dilemma is $625 or the $1400. I don't really do much wheeling just deed it to carry spare. Thanks in advance

I went teraflex and couldn't be happier. Easy install and looks great. I can open my gate just like before unlike the bumper mounted carriers. And if you decide to change bumpers later it still works. It really is a solid carrier, very heavy duty. So that's my vote. Good luck on whatever you decide!

If/when I go with bigger tires the teraflex would be on my shortlist. The ACE pro series rear bumper would also be tempting for 885. Seems very competitively priced. Swings with the gate, 1/4" construction, cutouts for rear LEDs if you wanted to spring for them, looks good too. Only negative I see with it is the weight..190lbs...guess that's the price you pay for all the beef.
