Default M.O.R.E Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier Issues

Since installing this the thing its making a ton of noise. Everything is bolted tight and the rubber bumpers are snug on the carrier. Anyone else having issues with this combo and what have you done to get rid of the noises? Thanks

Not to sound demeaning but do you have a highlift mounted on your bumper? I know the foot on my highlift makes noise like no tomorrow. Gonna go buy some small bungee's this week to remedy it though. Also maybe double check that the lugs on your spare are still good and snug. Other than that I'm drawing blanks, sorry.

This is one of the reasons I refused to put a tire carrier on my 2011 Rubi. After my 09 experiences with rattling, and trying to do mods to stop same, I came to the conclusion that there are just to many metal to metal areas on these carriers. Good luck in getting your issues fixed.

I cant speak for everyone else with LOD but for whatever reason I cant keep my bolts to hold this dang bumper, when I do this again (on the same JK) I am going to opt for either the EVO or Poison Spyder Stinger tire carrier.
