Nice video. What is the max. weight that the tail gate can hold?
1. Stock, no extra system added?
2. With a system like the RTR in this video.

I haven't been able to this in the manual or Ford sights. I will admit I haven't done a lot or research.

Thanks,

I was originally thinking of buying it. But watching the video made me say no to it. I just want something that add a bit more storage. I'm interested in what IAG has but not in any rush.

I was/still kinda am too. Its the only brace I have seen that doesnt completely cover the Bronco emblem side of the back of the tailgate.

Serious question though- How much father up and out does this move the spare tire? I really like the RTR rear bumper, but you need to use either this brace or their spacer to clear the bumper with the spare tire installed. I routinely pull a camper and my jack handle is already pretty close to the tire (like a half inch or so). I would really hate to create another problem because I dont particularly like the plastic bumper.

The spare tire can go up and left a few inches. It's pretty slick in that regard.

Helpful vid / presentation. Been researching this RTR kit for adding a spare tire rack and undecided but better informed due to this vid. Great pointers (2 person job), details (the click) and honesty (square jerry can alignment would be nice, I agree).

Thank you for the comment. It's not a bad product by any means. But could use a few improvements.
