Review on Rough Country 1053 Country 1053 Spare Carrier by Andy Tunes

Product arrived with paint chipped and damaged. No problem, I adjusted it, it stays out of place behind the spare wheel. The next problem was that you had to put spikes in it because it fits several wheel models. The way it's made doesn't really have access to hammer it in, and I don't have a press to build something on to press it in, so I had to use one of the nuts that came with the product Insert the pins. I hand started them all and then painted them with my Milwaukee Impact. 2 out of 3 no problem. The third must have some damage to the threads on the bolt because the nut didn't come loose. I had to snap off the grinder, cut off the stud, sand and repaint the part, order another stud and repeat the process to install it. It would be great if the person had two weeks to fit the spare tire spacer but given that I was trying to do it on a Saturday afternoon. Needless to say, it didn't quite work. Maybe it was just coincidence that I was unlucky and all the others made and sold work perfectly, but I'm out of luck. Just thought you should know what you're getting into and good luck. I certainly wouldn't buy it again.
