I saw it at Teraflex. I didn't get any pics of it though sorry. The hi-lift was mounted on the passenger side vertically, and the rotopax was mounted off of the hi lift mount it looked like further out. So if you looked at the jeep from the side you would see the rotopax with the hi lift behind it.
Honestly, it looked really good and seemed well thought out. It would be cool if somehow they made an attachment that replaced the two metal spacers on the driver side that go under the tire mount. That way you could possibly run rotopax on the drivers side also. I was just brainstorming about how to make it more functional.
Hope that makes sense. I might be back down to Teraflex soon and I could shoot a pic or two.

I am in the process of purchasing a carrier. I almost pulled the triger ont he Or Fab the other day. Great carrier but wanted to re think the extra drilling. Then I see this. I have been hearing good things so far and think I will order one this week.
Question:
Do you have to buy the tire carrier along with the hinge system? 315/75/R16 BFG KM2
I saw last week when searching this that it was a seperate item and some folks said it should be replaced due to the factory carrier being a bit flimsy. I think it was an additional 200 bucks.

I'm running 37's so I needed the additional piece. It is a very nice heavy duty mount, so it gives me extra piece of mind regardless of tire size. Not to mention its adjustable in and out so you can make sure you get the tire nice and snug. And no you don't have to buy both pieces.
