Default Another OR-Fab Dual Gerry can Tire carrier installed

Finished my OR-Fab Dual Gerry can Tire carrier install today. For anyone that has the Terra-flex third brake light adapter, I had to bend the CB antenna mount tab down to clear the passenger side Gerry can. This meant I had to move the CB antenna to the tire carrier tab and re-route the antenna wire.

I do have one complaint. Why doesn't a $500 tire carrier not include the $2 bolts to mount the High-lift jack yet provide the threaded holes. You would thing they could afford to throw them in. JMHO

I put one on last year, sturdy as can be, no squeaks or rattles. Had a few spots the powder coat gave way to a hint of rust, but considering where I live and the winters around here (read: road salt), I can't complain too much.

Installation takes 4-5 hours. It's fairly complicated, actually. You'll need a right-handed drill, careful measuring for the reinforcement struts that require drilling through the body panels, and lots of patience.

A good product though.
