Will you ship to Texas for the $200? Why are you selling it? Anything else missing or wrong with it?

Nothing is wrong with it, and only the jam nuts are missing. They're only needed for moving the lug studs for different tire sizes. I have someone checking my storage to see if they can mail them to me. There's no corrosion or scratches, and I have all the tiny screws for the camera.

While I love the adjustability, aluminum construction, camera housing, and 3rd brake light of it, after using it for a few months, I decided I needed hinge reinforcement. Not because my tire/wheel combo needs it. It's close to the max weight, and I carry things like bicycles and gas on the spare and a small toolbox on the inside. I got tired of waiting on Teraflex to release their hinge reinforcement.

Haven't decided that I want to ship it, yet. But it would be $200 + actual shipping costs. And it would need to be a payment method that's like cash (i.e. PayPal Friends and Family). While I can process credit cards, I've been burned by people filing claims stating I never shipped anything; they ended up getting it for free, and I still had credit card processing fees.

Why won’t you pair this with the hinge reinforcement from rugged ridge like many have done and have worked perfectly for them?

Any bounce or rattle?
No bounce or rattle. Should be good for up to 37s without hinge reinforcement. I know one member here has 40s and uses this carrier with just the Mopar non-hinge reinforcement.

Not what I wanted to do. I'm glad this works with other people.
