Looking at a possible tailgate mount for my Hi-Lift. I see that there are two available, EVO and Rugged Ridge. Does anyone have an opinion on which is better?

 

I got a 2nd hand Rugged Ridge to modify for my Smittybilt Gen 2 tire carrier. It has the typical chinese manufactured powder coating finish but I do like that there is a location to lock it from the post or the top. I have been told you need to add some foam / weatherstripping to the base just for some noise isolation. I haven't mounted it yet but it definitely has an overall cheap but sturdy build quality to it.

I believe Warn also has a mount available in the same price range. I don't think you can mount it to a standard hinge though.

 

I have the EVO mount. It's awesome and made right here in the USA!
