Great write-up. I installed an Or-Fab tire carrier and I tell you it took me a long time. To make your life easier, you must have a angle drill and a little luck to drill some of the holes they want you to drill. But I took my time and it came out great. I also attached my Hilift jack to the back. Hard to see with the Tule Carrier.

 

it's here, it's here it's here!!! the UPS guy wasn't thrilled with the 80 pound box.

but i'm stuck at work..

if the weather is good, i'll put it on sunday or monday..

 

From the carrier to the tailgate is 8 3/4". The cans mount on the lip of a metal can so you will need to fab a mount up if you want to put something else there besides a "metal" jerry can. If you need any other dimension just let me know

 

I know that you already figured out they would not fit but here is a pic of the "U" shaped bracket they sit on.

 

Can you tell me if you guys put the factory cover back on over the hinge.

 

I have the covers that mount on the tail gate part of the hinges on, the body part of hinges I left off.

 

i left mine off..

i'll take some pictures of it when the weather clears--still looking for gerry cans and a 20MM ammo box...

 

I love this tire carrier Great Write Up!!!!

Has any one mounted the Scepter Jerry cans back there? If so how did you support the bottom side?

 

the 20mm can i bought didn't fit.

kinda weird tho--the only 20mm's i found did NOT have a handle on top like brents, just the sides.(they were also too thick & short). anyone else have luck wiht operation ammo case?
