Gator AEV build

I like the spare tire mount. Nice build!

Thank you!

Is the spare mount intentionally off center?

Yes, it’s intentionally mounted more towards the left.

Lol, pretty confident in saying popular opinion knows a lot less than AEV.
Looks great!! Nice setup.

Haha, thanks!

Added a few items over the past few months, and just got back from a 3 week trip in Utah & Colorado. We put on a little over 6,500 miles in that time, and the truck never skipped a beat.

Yakima BedRock HD towers/crossbars. RTT is a CVT Shasta.

Rotopax 1 gallon paired with their Toyota/Nissan bed rail mount..

Any drilling with the tire carrier? Looks sweet! This seems like the best option on the market besides a swing out right now.

The tire doesn’t fit with the RTT correct?

Yes, you need to drill two holes into the floor of the bed.

Correct, I just un mounted the tire and laid it in the bed when the tent was on.

I will note, it would have fit if the tent was moved so the ladder came out the back. I just didn't have the correct rails to do so.

Our other vehicle is a Gobi '18 Jeep Wrangler (JKU) with a bunch of AEV goods

Was wondering what your JKU build was and how you think it compares to your awesome JT build.

I have a 2010 JKUR with 37s + AEV 4.5" and am looking to get a JT sooner than later.

Thanks!

I have to say that if I ever put a RTT on I am definitely keeping it low key like you did. Keeps the center of gravity lower, looks waaay better and I just don’t think you lose enough storage capabilities to justiy jacking it way up in the air.

Nice build by the way.

My JK is a 2018 Sahara. AEV 3.5" lift, AEV Salta's with 35x12.5 BFG AT's. Mopar steel bumpers, and some basic steering upgrades. I still really like the JK, but the JT is nicer in almost every way haha.

For sure, I prefer the look of the lower rack. Even with the spare tire taking up half of the bed we were able to pack enough for my family of 4 for a week road trip before picking up our camper.

Does the rear tire carrier interfere with the trail rail ?
