hmmmmm I think I like it. Looks like there's room on the pass. side to mount hilift and/or jerry can.

I'd like to see some sort of body protection at the corners though. Would it be possible to fab something up that would mount to the frame and still provide some protection? Kinda like a slider or something made to fit the contour of the corner.

Don't like it. It looks like it blocks the rear light so it wouldn't even be legal.

That cant be a real photo. Ya'' where's the tail light ? It doesn't even have a bumper under it and those corner guards don't look like they'd do shit.

That's a monster tire too though, a 37 or maybe bigger. I am on 35s so the obstructed view of the driver side tail would not be bad.

This is not really a Rancho tire carrier. It's a rebranded Hitchgate from tiregate.com. It's identical

I think they're by Fabtech. Not sure if they're available yet or not.
