Now the next thing is to call Hummer customer service....see if they know something about the swing gate max weight (ha!)

One other thing. I'm 200# and can step on the tire carrier (no tire) with ZERO deflection of the rear gate. I use it as a step to get up on the roof rack. At the door, It's solid, but when I use my bike rack stepping down off the rack (the bike rack bolts to where the tire used to be), I feel deflection, but can't see it. Might just be my imagination.
