No way that will work. Only the aev carrier frame will go into the aev bumper without serious modification.

There is no standard for how tire carriers attach the frame to the bumper. The dimensions probably won't even line up.

Besides, the aev frame attaches to the tailgate so it swings out with the door. This carrier seems to not attach that way.

this carier actually does attach to the tailgate for one handed operation. the reason i ask is i read in another thread that it will work but I want to verify before i buy. i like this carrier because it centers the tire and already has the attachment points for rotopax and hilift. it attaches to the frame rather than the bumper so it appears it may work. the only thing that would need to be modified would be the water tank, thats not a big deal to me.

just wondering is anyone can verify if they have done it or have seen it done.
