Default Anyone have the OR fab tire carrier
Thinking about getting the or fab tire carrier. Not sure if it will work with my warrior rear corners. Anyone got pics of where it latches and mounts up. And what's your opinion of the product. Thanks

I'm happy with mine. Install wasn't as bad as I had imagined but it was still a pain. I only have the can version because I got a hell of a deal on it. It doesn't rattle, but just be sure it's latched before you drive.

That looks good. Do you have a pic of the hinges from the passenger side. And do you know where I can get a good deal on one?

Ask Bryan (Bustabiz) from 4wd.com He'll hook you up! I got mine from him. He should have it in stock. Northridge4x4 has them too.

Right now It's sitting in my living room waiting to be installed!

Not sure about where to get a deal on one. I was in Virginia and a guy had purchased it for his wife's jeep and ended up selling it before they installed it. I couldn't pass it up, otherwise I would have probably purchased the non-can version.

Don't have a lot of great pics but here's some on the trails. Not the warrior corners but with Off Road Evolution armor.

Both are great designs but if you do a lot of shelf and ledge drops the Rotopax design is the way to go. We just got the new carrier last week but are leaving for a non-jeeping vacation and won't have it installed until we get back. Here are some pics of the differences in clearance. I'll post up some pics when it's installed in the show and tell section and provide a link.
