I just installed the XRC bumper and tire carrier and I really like it the only problem i see is that the tailgate hits the XRC tire carrier. Is this normal or is there a quick fix thanks.

 

Not sure what you are describing here...at what point is it making contact? Open or closed? And where at?

I don't believe mine makes any contact unless i swing it open and it bangs into the handle, but that's more of user ignorance/being in a rush... Closed, it makes no contact whatsoever

 

Yeah, the only time mine makes contact is when it's open. Other than that the only problem I have is the handle vibrates to the "open" position when driving down the road. I'm just waiting for the day the carrier swings open as I take off from a stop light, scarring the crap out for the guy behind me.

 

Yeah need to explain a little better. Mine makes no contact with the tailgate and I have a Hi-lift mounted between the tailgate and the rear of the tire carrier. Only place mine hit was the passenger quarter panel. 1 in. body lift took care of that

 

Scooter- if you take the handle assembly apart and put some washers or I used some black rubber hose and cut a small piece about 3/4 wide. I slid that behing the rubber gromet and it makes thing real tight. My handle hasn't budged since then.

 

I had this problem. I had to force the bumper down a little bit (Jump on it..). The directions said to drill out the frame holes some. If you do not do this, it will be real close/rub on the tailgate.

 

sorry for the confusion it only his when opened closed everything is great it hts on the handle and at full open it his on the tail gate bottom hinge
