Default Ace engineering tire carrier and bumper

Anybody taken a look at this set up ... Now that it's released I'm really thinking of going with it and for the price of 685 look good to me ... Even open with the rear gate ... Anybody have a reason not to use this set up ?

I like it, I was the first to order it. That being said, the only concerns I can really thing of are a) it's heavy as shit. 190lbs. b) instead of a latch attached to the bumper, it has rods connecting it to the tailgate. Considering the weight of the carrier/tire combo, (and this is with having no idea at all how the install goes) it may be able to damage the tailgate after prolonged use (again, depends 100% on how it attaches, theres no real details besides the picture on the website)

I have 100% confidence in Adam though, so I know it'll be bullet proof and awesome. I can't wait to get mine!
