Do it! Do it! Do it!I will try and get one tonight. Fortunately I'm still working
Hi Alex,Got my sport TC installed tonight. It was a bit of a pain but not bad overall. The instructions could use some tweaking to be more clear (I'd be happy to help do that) I will post pics in the light.
Super excited about this thing!
Thanks for sending the new instructions, they are excellent.Hi Alex,
Thanks for your unbiased feedback. It appears that we accidentally sent incomplete install guides. Recently we went back and greatly improved the instructions, I emailed them out to everyone this morning.
Glad to see that you were able to figure out the install process. Moving forward our new install guide is incredibly detailed and covers all the topics that were previously missing. Also we are filming an video install guide soon.
This Tire Carrier is a beast, and there are several fine tune adjustments to be aware of. We are here to help if you have any further questions.
Cheers,
Maximus-3

so...I never noticed the off-center position til your post. I went and checked...yep off center by an inch or so. Does not bother me in the slightest, and didn’t even notice til I went and looked, but that’s me. Hardly noticeable imho.Installed my carrier over Fathers day weekend. This thing is solid! I'm not particularly handy but it installed pretty easily.
I also fought with the 3rd brake light wiring but expected to from the other comments on this tread., After @ 15-20 minutes of trying to squeeze it through and looking for any trick I was missing (the hole size is just so close to being big enough), I gave up and cut to wires to the connector, fed them through the slot, then spliced the connector back on. Not difficult but a little frustrating it wasn't in the instruction... or better yet, the hole was made big enough to feed though the connector. I assume the design didn't take into account the paint/powder coat thickness.
A bigger disappointment is that the mount is off-center to the passenger side several inches. It isn't obvious until you get the tire on and see the position in relation to the factory bumper indent. The pics I've seen on this thread and on Max-3 website don't really show the off-center positioning, either because the tire isn't mounted on the carrier or the angle of the picture doesn't allow for a definitive view. I've got to admit I couldn't have image that a tire carriers wouldn't be designed to be centered on the bumper so really wasn't expected to have to check it. Maybe I missed something in the description.
Are other installs seeing same?
My 35 still fit on the lower vertical setting but since the tire was off-center to the passenger side it triggered my parking sensor on that side when in reverse. I raised the mount and the sensor issue was resolved. I'm concerned that if I go to larger tires it will trigger the sensors again.
