I love my AEV skid plates, but much of my money went to Ace but none of that compares to Northridge for my D44 and D60

Are you looking to only run metal jerry cans or are rotopax containers ok?

Here is our rear carrier that holds two Rotopax containers:
JcrOffroad, Inc. Adventure Rear Bumper Tire Carrier Upper - JK Wrangler

It can be attached to either our Crusader rear or Vanguard rear:
JcrOffroad, Inc. Crusader Rear Mid Width Bumper - JK Wrangler
JcrOffroad, Inc. Vanguard Rear Full Width Bumper - JK Wrangler

Let us know if you have anymore questions.

As far as things not fitting right it's not always the company that makes the product. I bought a new alternator from Mopar Surplus and they sent me one for a diesel engine swearing it would fit a gas engine when in fact there's no way it would. Just my two cents on when people report that things don't fit right.

OrFab is good, plus you can get a version for full size 5 gal jerry cans or the smaller rotor pax

I looked for a long time and ended up with a Rock Hard 4x4.


For me is has the deciding factors were
Real bearings on he hinge
Double locking latch like a car door
Mount for a Hi-Lift
Mount for CB antenna and HAM Antenna.
Locks OPEN when you open it.
As i did you can add Jerry can mounts but the mounts are also drilled for Roto-Pax mounts too if that is the way you want to go.
no rattles. Just did 140 miles of washboard and off road in 3 days and not a sound.
protects the rear quarter panels
even with 10 gallons of gas, a tire, a hi-lift on it its very easy to open and close (again quality bearings)
you can add a higher rack to it for carrying more gear, I have it but dont use it.
It has the usual ding mounts etc, its not cheep and its heavy. will hold a 37 no problem and i would buy it again if i ever needed another one.
the down side is cost, but i was only going to buy one once.
