Anyone know what weight capacity of the tail gate and/or spare tire mount is?

[JohnGalt]

I’ve recently thrown a Trailgater table (26 lbs) on my tailgate full time and have set up Rock Slide EZ Rack with 2 Rotopax DLX mounts and two 3 gallon Rotopax gas containers (28 lbs) for situational use and 6 gallons of gas (36 lbs) with my stock base rim and tire. So up to an additional 90 lbs on the occasional extended off-road trip hanging on the tail gate. Heck I could easily see another 10 lbs when using the table (camp stove, etc).

Anyone know the upper limit? Other thoughts? Probably should have thought this through before!

I was wondering the same when I seen the rotopax, I had forgot about the table. I searched the Owners manual to no avail. Makes me wonder if anyone knows the answer yet. FP may or may not want to comment.
To play if safe, once the rotopax are full of gas, don't open the tailgate without first removing both gas containers.

Now that I think about it, with how high they ride on the tire, it’s probably a great idea taking those off before cooking on the tailgate too!!!

This is the exact reason I’ve never considered any spare tire mounted rack or strap. We all know that one of the problems that delayed the OKTB decision last summer had to do with the spare tire mount. I figure it best not to tempt fate.

Plus I like to open the tailgate a lot when I’m wheeling, camping, fetching cocktails 🤪

I bought it thinking it might be a temporary solution, it looks like it may end up more temporary than I thought!

It‘ll make do until I can decide on a rack, probably TrailRax.
