OK so I finally got my Tire carrier installed but noticed that my tailgate is really hard to open and that it seems to be grinding or rubbing somewhere. Anybody else with the OR had this problem? Is there a way to adjust the plates that go on the hinges to adjust?

 

You probably needed to grind down more the factory brackets. This was a PITA to get it right before continuing with the rest of the install.

 

Can I do this with out uninstalling the whole thing?? I'd go out side and look but it;s raining and I to lazy

 

I'm sorry, but you are in a world of shit my friend :-( Thats putting it lightly. You will have to uninstall most of it. Atleast everything in the passenger side.

You should have checked for clearance opening and closing the hinge before finishing the rest.

 

I didn't install it it was a package deal while my gears and locker was installed.

 

First ID what I'm talking about then show it to your installer. It's his headache then.

 

I think jayrav is right if the guys that installed your carrier didnt do it like brent f70 did in the pic I would take it back and have them do it right just like in the pic im pretty sure thats were the problem is

 

Perfect! That's what I'm talking about. Print these pics to help illustrate your problem.

 

Thanks guys for the help
