Default New tire carrier!

This is a prototype. But it is basically what it will look like, just a cosmetic refinement or two and it will be ready to go. Tell me what you think! Patent pending.

Mount has an up and a down position. Allows the rear window to be used again!

Not far from you, if you want to come check it out let me know. I will be at KOH later today-Sat.
Hinge is the main part I'm working on right now, these were made with my manual mill, the final ones will be CNC'd

Yes, I can't advertise here yet, working on a vendor star now. I'm hoping to start production in a week or two. Will cost less than similar products, not sure how much yet, working on priceing. Let me know what you'd like to see, It is still a prototype so some things can change a little.

I can tell you my door closes better than it ever did with the factory hinges. Did I say it is Made In The USA?
