[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 451703, member: 24042"] Jeep really dropped the ball on the tailgate. The whole structure is a bit weaker than I would expect, given the weight of even the stock spare. And the check strap is a joke. The bumper vs pivot argument will go on forever. Just like the synthetic rope vs steel cable argument. I think it boils down to cosmetics. The various pivot carriers take all the stress off the tailgate and transfer it to the tub. The tub may not be as strong as the frame, but I think it's plenty strong enough for any size spare.
