I'm looking to mount a rotopax and hilift but don't want a swing tire carrier as I have the rear bumper delete and love the look.
I know I have seen the spare tire rachet strap but looking for something sturdier.
Just cannot find for the life of me.

Thanks in advance.

Got this one from @Blu bi Kong. It works well. I don’t know if he is making more.

Very nice! I'm assuming doesn't affect camera view. How much additional weight does the rotopax filled add to those rear hinges?

Have you looked at a hinge replacement tire carrier? ACE’s comes with two Rotopax mounts and they offer a hilift mount. I’m using it with the stock bumper for now, so it would work fine for you.

Maximus-3 is also working on a similar tire carrier and also state they’ll have Rotopax and hilift options.

It barely obscures the top edges of the backup camera screen. There lies the rub. I expect it adds about 40lbs when full. It appears that the hinges can except it, but I am careful when opening/closing the tailgate.

I have made 20 more of these. 7 are spoken for and will ship any minute. Waiting for last piece of hardware. Message me if interested.

How much are you asking for a mount?
