| Slee Off Road Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier Pics
Post'em up. I have seached and found a few pics, but nothing that really satisfies my curiosity. I understand that the tire carrier is now centered , thanks Romer for that comparison, and that there are additional nuance. But what I am looking for are detailed pics that show the side shots, DS/PS, hatch open tailgate down and the tire carrier positioned to the side, pics from below looking up, closes-ups of the hardware and pivot, etc..... Slee's site offers great pics of the 100 with the carrier, and if similiar this post is in vain. Thanks ahead of time for any help.
Regards,

| Is there a reason why you are limiting yourself to just the Slee? Don't get me wrong. I think the Slee design is really really nice but I like my IPOR a lot and the 4X Labs and Hanna ones are drool worthy as well.

| LOL! Just emailed you on this one. I am requesting detailed pics to help make a better "informed" decision concerning the Slee bumper/carrier. Albeit his product's have set the standard in many areas, I am not questioning quality, but I have noticed the tire carrier position has changed with a few other nuance(word for the day) when compared to the 100s. I have been out on the web and without "seeing" one in person to oogle I am trying the next best thing.

| The tire carrier setup is now similar to the 100. Unfortunately I do not have much better pics since it seems like every truck we do at shop is green, and with a green truck and a black bumper, the pictures suck.
You might want to have a look at this page Slee - Vlakvark Build-Up
It has detailed pictures of the latest tire carrier, however it does not show the license plate light or license plate installed. | |

| Christo-
Thanks! I believe these are the pics I am looking for to help make a decision. I would send you a few pics of the final install, but unfortunately, I have a green truck! I'll be in touch. If anyone else has pics to donate feel free.
Regards

After viewing the Vlakvark- I have to say you are a talent man! Awesome transformation!! The bumper/carrier is awesome too!

| Christo,
I have a white 80 that you could use as a photo mule, all you need to do is provide the bumper

Damn, beat me to it. I can offer up before pics with a Kaymar vs after pics with Slee's on a white truck.
You can compare tire carriers, license plate holders (Slee's BTW drilled out to work with the Kaymar tire carrier), etc. and lack of a decent hi-lift jack on the Kaymar too! So much more to offer.
