I couldn't tell if this works with the factory steel bumper. Does it? I see its frame mounted which is great to take the weight off the bumper.
I did ask them if it could be used with the factory steel bumper, if I were to cut a hole in the top to allow it to pass through, but they said it is still under testing so they couldn’t give me an answer to that yet.

I think the factory steel bumper could be modified to except this carrier, but it’s hard to say without seeing anymore pics, so hopefully we will find out soon after they do a photo shoot along with further testing and then they post up more info.

JCR sells their bomb proof spindle kit for a DIY kit.

https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/DPL/DIY-BPS.html

I’m sure with a little bit of bracket fab and their vehicle side brackets (tire carrier delete plate, camera/license plate relocation, heim joint etc.), everything that comes with the bumper and carrier kit minus he bumper if you don’t want that too.

I just put their crusader bumper and shield tire carrier on mine and couldn’t be happier.

Doesn't fit your requirements, but others may be interested. I'm very happy with the JCR crusader bumper and adventure tire carrier.
CB mount rotopax mount jack holes backup lights sensors if you have them D ring holes and hi-lift mount which I don't have.

Is that the 3 or 4 foot fire stick ? And did you have to tune the antenna ?

I keep a 3' on the truck cause it fits in my garage. I don't use the CB except on trail rides and I can't tune it. I also have a 4' that I switch out when I go on da trail

I like that
Wonder if it’ll jive with the backup camera
I like what I see too, so hopefully they do address the camera as well. Even if they don’t, I believe it would be a fairly easy solution to tackle since the carrier is attached to the rear gate. I can’t wait to see the finished product after testing.
Hopefully in the near future more manufacturers will have their carriers available.

Yeah I think they have a 40” in that picture.
I like it, but that design would be a hassle getting in and out of the gate as much as I do.

Any update on the release of this carrier?
I have not heard back from them after I sent my last email to them. I was asking for an update hoping it will be close to being released, so hopefully that means it’s right around the corner from being finished.

Poison spyder said theirs should be ready in a week or so, but I guess we will see.
I have been patient to this point but it’s growing thin. I wish more companies would develop tire carriers so we have more options than what is available now.

How will the back up camera be addressed with these carriers?
