We dont.

We have some different accessory mounts coming out that interface with our carrier. Not sure whose pax mount this is.

When do you expect those to be available? I've built a Rotopax mount for my Cavfab carrier and am getting ready to design another to address some fitment issues, but might hold off if you have it figured out and will be shipping soon. There's just barely enough space to work with between the taillight and a 37" spare, it seems.

Im checking with our design team now around priorities and a potential timeline for these. Will post back shortly!

Has anyone that's installed one of these carriers had an issue with it rubbing the tail light when it opens? The hinge plates on mine are all the way against the tail light side of the hinge cutouts in the body and it hits the tail light when it opens. Should be easy to fix with shims but just curious. Sucks that I didn't notice it though until I had everything back together and was putting the tail light back in. Now I've got to take it all back apart to add shims.

No, since I have the OEM steel bumper, I elected to keep my license plate in the original location. I did not use the CavFab hardware, I chose a LOD camera relocation kit and a third brake ring.

I think it is a much cleaner look.

I'm looking at picking up the LOD camera relocation kit also for my cavfab tire carrier since i plant to keep my stock steel bumper for now. Can you share how you mounted it to the cavfab tire carrier? Anything special you did to get it stay on or anything? Thank you

I used a large hex head bolt and fender washer from the backside of the carrier. The LOD comes with one, but if memory serves, it was not long enough.

Thanks for the info wasn't for sure if I would need to drill a hole in the tire carrier or the camera mount. Plus having the newer style camera didn't know how difficult it was to get in the mount.

The carrier has a hole...you should be good to go.

Thanks for the info. Makes my decision easier now.

@CavFab_mfg if I were to purchase an elite mount now, would it be compatible with the rotopax and modules you are going to be releasing soon? Would hate to buy and then find out I needed something else.

Yes absolutely. We always do everything we can to ensure that any future "add on" parts are compatible with core parts for this very reason.

Debating how to finish mine. I’ve seen Steel-it, bed liner, powder coated and painted examples all on here. How are the different finishes holding up for y’all? Would anyone go a different finishing route than what they chose if they were doing it again?

 

[CarbonSteel]

I powder coated mine and installed it in October of 2021. No issues and would powder coat again.
