Other than the install, I haven't heard anyone complain about the Or-Fab, it's solid!

Just installed, with help of mechanic, the OR-Fab tire carrier. No rattle at all and very solid. Major PITA though to install and requires drilling. But now very happy with the way it came out, rides, and looks. I went for the non-gerry can version so it sits closer to the tail gate. Have 315s on it.
