Just got off the phone with dave at QT and he says he is calling MRBP as soon as they open to see about having it drop shipped from them. If not hopefully Dave at N4x4 has em.

OK so I at least got a call back from QT this time they said because MBRP is in canada they won't drop ship anything it has to go through a US retailer . So bottom line QT DOES NOT HAVE THESE AND WONT FOR A FEW WEEKS. Northridge DOES NOT HAVE THEM.... don't waste your time and energy because obviously they aren't readlily available. order canceled $40 saved this time I have learned my lesson with QT..... I am a slow learner

I called MBRP direct and placed an order today. We'll see how long it takes to get them to AZ.

good luck.... just to clarify I am not bashing MBRP or their product.... just QT! they suck.

EDIT: Just got off the phone with Steve and all is well.... he said usually 5 to 7 days after it ships so your wait to AZ shouldn't be much more.... MBRP (Steve) is good to go in my book but I am out $40 again

Ok so I got the MBRP support brackets today and will install my 37" spare on the factory tailgate with a couple of improvements I made including lift plates for the OEM tire carrier and additional tack welds on the tailgate. Next month I am going on a week long back country 4x4 trip and will let you all know how it did. My spare tire and wheel weight 104.5 pounds. 38.5lbs heavier than the stock set up.
