Hey.. does anyone have any info on the OR-FAB swing away tire carrier for thr JK?? It also holds a CB antenna AND 2 gas cans..!!

That is what I want.. but I understand they don't make them for the Jk yet?? Anyone know why not??

 

It looks like these guys have been really busy with many different products for many different models.

I know of one manufacturer who was "lent" apreproduction JK, took a test drive and said, "These'll never sell!" Now we have the latest production date from him of Oct. Too bad he only has design and building sense. It's also too bad he's cornered the niche in his corner of the market. I'd sure buy that stuff from someone else if the same quality were available.

BTW, while I prefer my cans a little higher up, Body Armor uses a similar setup as OR-Fab except without the tubular design bumper.

 

I called Or-Fab a couple of weeks ago (I had their carrier on my TJ). It sounded like something may show in Sept.

The OR-FAB gas cans set inside behind the spare tire. and bolts to the body of the jeep.. Supposedly using the roll bar base etc. for support.. I do really like the design. as I really don't want the tire carrier attached to my Bestop bumper..

And I like where the cans are, keeping them low and out of my rear view mirror..
I just wish they would hurry up and make one for my JK...!!!

 

NOW WERE GETTING SOMEWHERE.. !!!

 

I really appreciate that. I was taking a real hard look at the Body Armor rear bumper for that same reason. Plus, those storage boxes you can get for the OR-Fab's are totally cool. I just couldn't stop thinking about the idiot behind me not stopping in time so I elected to place my jerry cans higher up.

 

Awesome... I even cut off the top of my 3rd brake light and converted the wiring to work as the license plate light.. So I can see clearly out the back.. Hated that 3rd brake light anyway.. AND the license bracket..!!

 

Seeing's how this is a thread you started, I won't feel too guilty hijacking it. Did you remove that POS license plate bracket? If so, how did you cover that hole in the body it left behind?

 

WITH THIS... and a playing card sized piece of plastic behind that.. I did get warrior corner guards without the hole but they didn't fit worth a darn so I sent them back..

AND THIS IS WHERE MY TAG WENT...

 

Ahh yes, the old decal trick...

I'm going to go out and find a neat red decal to put on my old lady silver unlimited. Just to honor you Cap.:toung:
