Default Ebay HD Tire Carrier (like the Teraflex HD Tire Carrier??)

I ran across this ebay add for an hd hinged tire carrier. I was looking at buying the TeraFlex HD tire carrier and then ran across this on Ebay. Does anyone own this yet or have pictures of it installed on their Jeep? Just curios if this is the same thing as the TF Tire carrier or if it's different.

Check out Ebay Item # 111010387228

Thoughts? Seems to be a good buy at half the cost of the TF Tire carrier.

I just looked at their site and its nowhere near as beefy or as nice looking. TeraFlex backs all their products and are highly tested before sold to the consumer. As for the one your looking at, I'd rather spend more money feeling confident that I won't run into other issues down the road. I'm not saying anything is wrong with the one you're looking, that's just my opinion.

it was only a matter of time before people started copying teraflex's design... I know a local shop that makes a carrier based on the same idea.

Looks to me like they haven't even produced one yet and are just seeing if they sell.
-Only SolidWorks image available, no actual photo
-Doesn't appear they've sold one
-Says about a week to ship
