put more mounting points on the carrier so we add more things later. A grid of pre-threaded 8 or 10MM holes all over it.

The diamond shape of it reduces the utility value of it to me because now I'm limited to dealing with angles. If it were rectangular or square, now I have more choices which makes your carrier even that much more appealing.

Very interested in this as a tire carrier option. I also agree, vertical rotopax that don't block the rear window would be best.

Great, any more teasers you can show
Our final prototype will be coming back from powdercoat this week, so we’ll have more photos soon.

Did you make any adjustments for attachments such at high lifts or rotopax?

We don't have a cost analysis on this yet, but I would guess somewhere in the $700 range.

Thank you,

Yes, there will be RotopaX and Hi-Lift Mount options available.

Thank you,

We're looking to have this released within a few days, but until them here's a look at how we've designed the Tire Carrier to tie into the substructure of the Jeep to provide a heavy-duty installation.



Thank you,

Didn't see a spec on the max tire size......
Evaluating and testing that currently, but we're expecting that a 40" shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you,
Looks like you have to cut those two holes to put that in right?
