Default How strong is this?

How is this mounted? I am thinking with full cans of fuel, a huge spare and a Hi-Lift jack there will be quite a bit of weight on that hinge. Will the thin sheet metal of the JK be able to support that kind of weight without buckling?

The support brackets bolt on inside your wheel well.




I have the exact setup you described.

Now that makes sense. I knew that had to be something more than the sheetmetal holding things up. Thanks for the Pic

The cans are not included. Depending on what state you are in, you can buy the cans for about $40 from 4x4 shops or even Harbor Freight.

By the way, I ordered my OR FAB carrier today.

That link provided no pics what am I missing here?

And if that's paint it looks very cool but also very expensive. can you say $4000+ custom paint job?

get's me thinking about a vinyl vehicle wrap
