Does anyone have picture of the OR-FAB Tire and Gerry can Carrier? I would like to see closed and open postion pictures if you got them. What are you doing with your Hi-lift Jack? I have a mount for my jack On the back of my tail gate but it would have to go if I get this tire carrier.

I do not have a photo with it opened.

There are quite a few other threads about and one might have it.

As for the high lift jack I am planning to strap it to the cargo basket, Nice method of keeping it out of the way.

 

The Hi-Lift bolts up to the carrier. The carrier will accept Blitz style cans (has lip on bottom of can). If you want to mount Rotopax or NATO cans you have to purchase additional adapters.

This is a fantastic product but just be prepared to spend several hours to install it. You also have to drill through the body in a couple places. Make sure you download the instructions from OR-FAB's website first, they are most current and also will give you a list of required tools. The other thing to prepare yourself for is relocating the 3rd brake light. OR-FAB makes a kit or there are several others to choose from.

I am truly impressed with the quality and most importantly there are NO RATTLES!!

 

Hey G,
It looks like the factory spare tire bumpers snug right up to the fuel can?
Is that a Nato style can, or the old U.S. Army metal type?
I'm trying to decide which style of carrier to go with.

 

It depends on the cans, I had to trim both of mine down a bit.

 

Dude I want one so bad!! that thing is sick!

Does it take alot of time and drilling to install? also if you ever want to get corner armor or a roof rack would it get in the way?

 

The factory tire bumpers do snug right up to it, maybe a little too much at times but it does keep the cans from moving, rattling or squeaking. I can run both style cans, however there is an extra bracket that you need from OR Fab that supports the Scepter/NATO cans from the bottom since they don't have a rim/lip. I have said it before, if I could do it all over again and the newer OR Fab Rotopax carrier had been available, I would be running that puppy instead. The Rotopax version is tucked in much closer to the tailgate than the jerry can version. Good luck with your decision!

 

It took me and a buddy about 4 hours to do it in a home garage. You just need to be meticulous when measuring and marking the spots to be drilled. It pays to measure three or four time before drilling. As far as rear corner armor, you probably would have to drill a hole through the armor on the drivers side where the Landing block is bolted to the body, it's what the carrier latches closed to. The roof rack I don't think would interfere at all with the OR Fab brackets inside the body.

 

Thanks alot every one! Looking at this for a future mod
