Tiregate, Aka Hitchgate 3.. Anyone Have Experience With This?

[old-chevy-dude]

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on this along with my lift.

 

my goal for my Avalanche is to set it up for mild off-roading and camping..

 

 

I have never been a fan of the spare being in the roof rack, and I came across the hitchgate, which I think is a perfect solution for me, as it is removable for street use.. the long jack and axe/shovel will be mounted on my roof rack/basket but the spare and the jerry cans in the hitchgate would be perfect.

 

any input would be helpful before I make a final decision, I ask because I have already had some issues with the company answering emails, and though they are local to me, lack of communication bothers me, but as far as I can tell they are the only company making this.
