The poison spyder tire carrier of the same design would have been a better choice. That being said, these types of tire carriers aren't really designed for DD jeeps... As y'all have found out. It's designed for maximum departure angle. I almost bought one of these (toss up between poison spyder and Gen Right), but thinking on it, those pins would have been a real hassle on a DD vehicle. Still, good vid! I hope it helps others with their decision for a tire carrier!
Kudos for you guys actucally went through with the install... If they gave me that kind of reasons for missing plates and bolts I probably would've lost all confidance in the product and would not have installed it... Either way, I have to say it looks great on your JK!
I looked at this one but went with the OR fab tire carrier. I liked the fact that I can carry 2 geri cans of gas on it with my over sized tire. It to mounts to the tub as the DV8 does....and yes the rear of the jeep i really find inconvenient to access. But it LOOKS SO NICE and is functional . No issue with the tire and upper rear window on the OR fab. It came with a mounting bar to go inside the tub at the landing side of the carrier with shims to go between the layers of aluminum in the tub. And i kept my stock steel hard rock rear bumper on the jeep. No aftermarket bumper
Not trying to cause issue but most of these issues are install issues not with dv8 looking at the alignment of your driverside mount its clearly crooked 3:10 which explains why the bottom mount wont align 8:35 if you widen the openings a touch you wont have to shave anything down and can repaint dont open to wide or it will rattle like mine did i had to close the openings slightly to stop it. And im pretty sure aluminum spindle mount can be flipped to the underside of the bracket which will lower your tire and stop your glass from hitting
Hey guys, like your videos,I also installed a DV-8 tire and yes it was a pain in the butt! Quick tip, I sprayed the rubber bushings with silicon and the squeaking stopped, also when reinstalling keeper pins start with the bottom first. You guys are Kool!
I have one of these tire carriers, I didn't have any of the issues you are mentioning. I got a back plate, my glass doesn't hit the tire 35x12.5, I didn't have to file anything. I've had mine for a couple years now. The coating is not great, I do have some surface rust. My biggest issue is replacing tail lights. the way the JK tail lights go on you can't get it on and off. I had to reach up from under the jeep and replace the bulb with one hand.
Very interesting. We have no issue changing the tail lights, we did it two times. Im glad you didn't have these issues! Speaks to the variability between units. Cheers!
I have the same tire carrier. I had to do some adjustment to it to get it to swing freely. And I us RV slide grease on mine and it works great. What kind of light are you rubbing around the tag? My poison spyder light didn’t last anytime and quit
About to install mine on my 13’ 2 door Jk that’s rocking the Bestop hybrid soft top. DV8 directions and other install videos made it very hint hint known to install hinge side/carrier, AND tire to make the actual install point to the license plate side so hopefully DV8 heard y’all’s and others complaints (being your video was a year ago from this comment and maybe my fastback soft top will be a cherry on the icing on open carrier with opening rear window for my install. We shall see. 🤞🏻
I have the DV8 TC. I share your frustration but I did get all the parts. My trick to close the carrier is that I push it in and then bump it with my shoulder and butt lightly and the pins align a lot easier. I also made a braided wire loop to secure the pins. I forgot them one day and they fell off the Jeep. One end of the wire attaches to the carrier and the other holds to the pins. When I take the pins out they hang off the carrier.
I had the same issue with the driver side plate being warped. So.. I drilled the holes in a position that would compensate as if the plate was flat. Then, when I tightened the bolts the force straightens the plate out perfectly. However, I was also concerned that the force would cause stress on the body of the jeep and cause it to bend, but honestly the steel on the body is surprisingly strong and I don’t anticipate that as an issue at all after having it installed. The catch! So unfortunately when they welded the two brackets onto the driver side plate.. of course they did it with the plate already warped 🤦♂️. So.. when the plate was forced straight now the brackets are angled and the carrier doesn’t close! So I had to bend them and now only the top pin goes through which honestly I can live with.. I don’t see the purpose for two pins anyways. Cheers!
Hi guys. As you know my wife has the dv8 tire carrier. It was a pain to install and is very tight to try to close the carrier and put the 2 pins in. I agree I love the look of it. Look into the tire size capacity. I'm pretty sure dv8 claims that that carrier will hold a 42 inch tire which I thought was pretty impressive. Especially for those people who may have a 42. Which would be an option for those people looking for a carrier to hold that monster tire. Lol. Love your videos guys. Keep it up.
Great video guys! Lots of good info and can always appreciate an honest review. I do agree, the looks on this tire carrier are incredible. But I honestly believe in this case the looks don't trump the hassle that comes with it. I also won't be purchasing this after seeing this video until DV8 can make some adjustments where they are needed. Keep up the good work!
I really like these update videos! So many people add stuff and it's hard to tell how they work long term. Keep it up! Also, I'm hoping to get a video of my jeep(s) taken, haha!
It seems like you didn't put the cam bolt on? it goes on the replacement bracket top right, 3rd closest before the bolt. So it would be cam bolt, then the bolt. This raises and lowers the carrier
It did not come with a cam bolt, and the instructions do not mention a cam bolt either. But others have commented it needs a cam bolt, but regardless, the problem with the carrier would not be fixed with the cam bolt. The actual carrier itself was not aligning with the bracket, even off the jeep on the floor!
@@Garagecouple Oh I see now, thanks for clearing that up. I was actually looking into getting this one but I always like having your guy's opinion! Great vids, keep it up!
I have this tire carrier. Not my favorite either. Another thing to consider, the fire extinguisher in the back is almost useless because by the time you get everything open, the fire is out of control. haha
@@Garagecouple I took mine off and put a Smittybilt Pivot on. I LOVE IT! I can get in and out with the back gate only! Now I have to fix all the dents and holes left by the DV8.
Love the review and love that you all aren’t professional mechanics. But just a question. Noticed that the bracket on the drivers side is mounted crooked. Could that be causing some of your open and shutting issues?
Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately not, the bracket is crooked because the actual carrier itself is crooked. Check out the original install video on our channel :)
I know several people with this product and love it, some grease on the bushing would make it swing a lot easier and not make noise and greasing the guide pins would make them slide in and out easier. Just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. PS: it will hold a 42" tire.
Yup! Its more of a quality control issue so I can imagine some have had good luck and others have bad luck. Don't want to get my hands greasy every time I use the pins...
Just installed my poison Spyder body mounted carrier and I’m definitely satisfied with it. They have a couple design features that are different than DV8 and it makes it much much better in my opinion.
I agree Way to much work. Everything should fit with out mods. In your case maybe spacers instead of washers behind brackets may line things up better.
Yup.. we are using washers to space it out but each stud needed an exact amount to make it work...and it still barely closes.. would be tough using precut spacers...
😂😂😂😂 yeah.... no two vehicles coming off the assembly line are 100% the same. Add in China made jeep parts like DV8 and you will have to make small modifications. Shoot even with American made parts there is still some finess needed to get them to fit. Doesn't matter if it's jeep parts or hot rods or what ever.
So i saw your video for Cerecoat i bought some from your link on amazon applied it and it worked great . My question is will it fix the foggy spot lights in the grill of my jeep ? Can i use it will it work to make them clearer again ? Thanks in advance for replying.
Garage Couple it is fantastic, made my trim look like brand new . I have gone threw the “Brushless” car wash twice and it still looks like the day i put it on ,, very pleased. My Fog lights are a little cloudy so was wondering of it would do the same for them..
If this is anything like my front bumper I bought off dv8 I wouldn’t buy it. I bought a dv8 front bumper and the led lights don’t shine on the road ahead of you. They are flush mount with the bumper “wings” so are at an angle. They wouldn’t let me return it either since I mounted it. It also came without instructions
This review couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m in the market for a new carrier, so I really appreciate this review/update. Great videos guys. Keep em coming!
So the issue is amateurs installing. I installed mine with zero issue. They did not mount locking plate correctly. Also, I have a zero issue to open and close mine. I guess maybe if very weak it could be a little hard. Don’t buy Jeeps and jeep shit if you sissy and weak.
Like i said during your install that would have been on the ups truck on its way back to DV8.No way am i going to go through all that crap to install something.Its a great looking carrier and looks great but no way.Whats with the creaking when you open it?
At the time, we didn't realize dv8 was an off brand. If we could go back, we would go with a tire carrier attached to the rear bumper. Hopefully someday we can make the switch.

Well it is made for a large tire for off road hahaha Some people would love their tire carrier fits snug and tight as yours...its a pain in the ass when you have rattle noises when wheeling because of loose bushings or bad install issues. Definetly should made the review after a wheeling trip and then show us what you think about....cause daily use i don’t think applies to an overall review of the product. Because some manufacturer attack the common issues of jeepers when they’re jeeping not when they are on the road. Nice video btw, because that shows and means that this carrier is not for everybody. Some have diferent needs than others.
@garagecouple: check out Metalcloak bumper/tire carrier. They are awesome. Autoedit has an install video on his page that prompted me to get one as well. Money put to good use and I can still get to my trunk with ease!
Maybe you need a mallet. I think the worse aspect of this is, if you want to go to another tire carrier you have so many holes to deal with. You're making me happy I didn't go with DV8.
Damn! I want this. Unlike the GIRL in this video I don’t mind the extra “hassle”. It’s a Jeep. Nothings easy. But I have a sick rear kitchen set up. Fridge and all and I need that tailgating to open all the way straight to pull out my fridge and stove underneath the fridge. It didn’t look like it would open all the way. My glass is no problem as I have the Bestop hybrid soft top . But with a rear glass not plastic. But it slants. So I get a little more room. I gotta make sure I can fully open it first as I use my fridge daily!!!
@@Garagecouple bumper or frame, as long as it integrates into the tailgate. that way when you open the tailgate it all comes together. the best are the factory replacement but limited to how huge of tire you can run.
I agree with you. You spend hard-earned money with these companies you should get a quality product they shouldn't have an attitude of a few parts missing no big deal you can deal with it or those parts really aren't required. Or if it's a little bit out of alignment you can bend into shape. For myself I would make the decision not to spend any more money on their company unless they fix their customer service.
DV8 products are like extreme terrain are overpriced for the quality you get! Poisson spyder,gen-right and evo makes a better tire carrier with the same look. Also the swing should not be that difficult the squeaking.
That tire carrier is trash! One of my biggest regrets with my build, if not THE biggest. Ran it for a year & made it work as best I could but the minute I had some cash to spare I swapped it out for EVO body mount carrier & luckily the rear corner armor covered up the holes I had to drill from the DV8 junk. End of the day, learned a valuable lesson...you get what you pay for. It was silly of me to have higher expectations for a Genright knockoff made overseas. That was the last time I installed anything on my Jeep that isn't made in 'Merica with A1 customer service.

You have the bolt that has the tire mounted to it upside down ... it goes on top for a 40 - 42” ... underneath for a 37 or smaller
Hmmmm
Exactly
So refreshing to see an Honest Review!
Appreciate that!

Literally it would not align even while off the vehicle. They sent a second bracket and it was also misaligned off the vehicle.
I used to have the DV8 RS2 Carrie but recently upgraded to the TeraFlex hinge carrier. Much more compact.
Wow very nice!

Does that tire carrier rattle any? I do like the looks of it but I’m running a 37/13.50

should have went with Poison Spyder, a bit more expensive but works beautifully. I love mine and have no regrets.

If you want that look with an actual good product, Poison Spyder makes a good one.
So the issue is amateurs installing. I installed mine with zero issue. They did not mount locking plate correctly.
Also, I have a zero issue to open and close mine. I guess maybe if very weak it could be a little hard. Don’t buy Jeeps and jeep shit if you sissy and weak.
Should've gone with Genright tire carrier instead. I'm not surprised with DV8.
Yep..wish we could go back in time!
You guys just saved me a bunch of money! Thanks for this honest review

Thanks for the support! Totally! And the creaking is getting worse and worse as the rubber bushing gets older
Garage Couple wow thats pretty sad all that money and the bushings didnt even last what a year yet?Nope,Nope and Nope
If you knew then what you know now would you still cheap out with an off brand like DV8? I know I wouldn't.
At the time, we didn't realize dv8 was an off brand. If we could go back, we would go with a tire carrier attached to the rear bumper. Hopefully someday we can make the switch.

what tail lights are those i like the blackout look.
Theyre off brand from Amazon. Let me find a link

Just trying something different!
Sure does !! 🤩
Why did y’all decided to get that tire carrier? In my opinion it’s not the most good looking one
It was a good price, (under 1k) and I found install videos (which now apparently mean nothing) so we went with it..

I agree with you. You spend hard-earned money with these companies you should get a quality product they shouldn't have an attitude of a few parts missing no big deal you can deal with it or those parts really aren't required. Or if it's a little bit out of alignment you can bend into shape. For myself I would make the decision not to spend any more money on their company unless they fix their customer service.

I have question. Where did you get those shorts and why did your wife let you wear them? I’m just playing good vid.
Du dummmm chhshhh
DV8 products are like extreme terrain are overpriced for the quality you get! Poisson spyder,gen-right and evo makes a better tire carrier with the same look. Also the swing should not be that difficult the squeaking.
Makes sense! Thanks for the suppprt
That tire carrier is trash! One of my biggest regrets with my build, if not THE biggest. Ran it for a year & made it work as best I could but the minute I had some cash to spare I swapped it out for EVO body mount carrier & luckily the rear corner armor covered up the holes I had to drill from the DV8 junk. End of the day, learned a valuable lesson...you get what you pay for. It was silly of me to have higher expectations for a Genright knockoff made overseas. That was the last time I installed anything on my Jeep that isn't made in 'Merica with A1 customer service.
Lovely! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope we can do the same
"Thug life" LOL....
Lol
Get you a fastback style soft top.
We dont have the funds currently
"THUG LIFE"..... HILARIOUS!!!
Hehehe
These are definitely not made in the US, my friends dv8 says it's made in China on the side of the box
The ones we got were made in California
Just got mine. It says made in China.
just replaced my DV8 for a teraflex. this tire carrier is terrible
Sounds like just a bad product
Cheers
Horrible design.
Agree!
DV8 SUCKS!! worst Jeep mod by far. I’m so pissed I’m stuck with this piece of shit because of how much this cost.
Sorry to hear you had a similar experience! It's crazy.
