I love it. Great job. I am envious though. I hope one day I can have skills too.

That looks great, I am planning on making something similar, but I want it to fold down.

Thanks.

not sure of the tube bender model, as it was a buddies not my own. Cant get any measurements for a while since i'll be away from the jeep for a few months working abroad. Either way it might be best to figure out your own if you want to make one since they are bound to be different from my set up (tire size, jerry can, mounting location etc)

Wow! all I have to say is wow! my favorite part is the maple leaf, its the little details that sets you apart from others.

again, Im amazed by your fab skills, also feeling a little bit jealous.

what size tire is that?

I'm hoping some of the vendors and aftermarket companies will start making carriers like this... one day maybe. I would love to see an improved version of the OrFab design.
