Any chance you can post of pics of it?
Specifically the latch mechanism and the adjustability of the tire mount location?

Thanks!

you can follow the link

the latch is solid
you have to keep the handle straight to run the other end of it thru a bracket
then turn it 90 degrees

when it first was marketed it was only 350 or so, now sells for 800
alittle steep if you ask me

Yeah I was hoping to see specifically two sections of the XRC. The tire mount location and adjustibility and latch. How high or low you can move the tire and how nice or easy it is to use the latch.

the tire mounts along the center bar thru a triangle
holes for the bracket arm are located throughout the bar
i am using a 35" tire and still i can mount it to the bottom rung
and still not make contact with the top of the bumper

the latch handle has a male to female on the bumper
once the male piece's teeth pass thru you turn it 90 degrees to close
