Anyone know off the top of their head what size bolts they use to mount the hi lift jack bracket? Iā€™m thinking of bolting a rear flood light to mine. Iā€™m 150 miles away from my Jeep at the moment or Iā€™d have a go at trying a few bolts to see which fit in those holes. Anyone know?, thanks

Can someone verify that the rear window will open with the RotopaX? Also, waiting for next sale as I want to get this and their sliders.

Yes. I have one. You do have to open the tailgate all the way, but it the window will open and clear even with two Rotopax mounted.

Thanks! Would you buy It again?
Tough question. when I bought it, there werenā€™t many options out there. I like that it doesnā€™t put any weight on the middle of the tailgate like a lot of the other hinge replacement options. I also like the rotopax mounts and the fact that I am free to pick whatever bumper I like. So overall Iā€™m happy with it. But if I were looking today, Iā€™d really be considering one of the many bumper mounted tire carrier options - thereā€™s just so many of them now.

So to answer your question: probably, but it wouldnā€™t be as easy a choice as it was back then.

I use 2, 2gal Rotopax fuel cans. My rear window opens just fine. The tail gate has to be opened all the way up.

I have had the ACE Stand Alone Tire Carrier for approximately one and a half years. It is very solid and I have not had any problems with it.
