tire carrier+bumper

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am looking into getting one.  Warn, Currie, Jeeperman are what I have been looking at.  I just found this company LoD that sells a nice looking tire carrier for about 415.  There website is http://www.4x4xplor.com/LoD-CJ.html 
Has anyone heard of this and how can it be so cheap?  Does it hold up or just look nice in pictures?  I am leaning towards Warn but I don't like the fact that it doesnt have D-ring tabs or a Hilift jack mount.  Any help would be nice. Lod doesn't either but for 415 I could get some welded on and it wouldn't be an extra expense.  I'd like to have this stuff at my house by thanksgiving when I can get it on and get it on the trail so any help is appreciated.
John

	Build one, or commission one from Scoutman. He has built several...all look good, exactly what you want, etc.

	Basically everyone I have talked to has said the same thing. I really need to learn how (and get alot of experience) to weld. Welding is the answer for everything: winch mounts, rocker protection, bumpers, tire carriers, roll cages, suspension, body work, basically everything. Once I get my core curriculum out of the way I can take some welding classes at texas a&m and get credit for it. That would be the closest to a class in jeep repair which I have yet to find in the course catalog. I'll send scoutman a pm and see if i can get some pictures. That would be awesome if I could get what I needed built. thanks
