idea looks interesting, and looks very functional and versatile

although the tire carrier part looks very fragile

gotta give it up to olympic for coming out with something drastically different

I think this is kind of like an anchor brake. Going to fast toss the anchor down...

Take it from a guy with a bad back, lifting anything bigger than a 32" tire alone up that high is a risky adventure. I understand it very well.

The bumper itself is Billy Badass. I wish they made one to work with the stock tire carrier.
