Default Orfab tire carrier modifications and/or add ons
Was wondering if any of you fellow orfab tire carrier owners have done anything different to the carrier? Maybe a rack, storage, or something else. Just looking for ideas.

I converted mine over to a flange mount (for plate/back camera mounting) and relocated the tire about 4" higher for departure angle. Went to a vertical jack mount and switched it over to Rotopax cans. Added a few gussets and made a urathane pad for the foot of the jack to set on for support.
