[John Smith]

Are you able to lower it yourself or is it a two person job or the thing comes crashing down?

Looks pretty slick. Throw in a pic or two of the whole truck when you get a chance .

Just a thought - my only concern with that design is I could see denting in your tub at the mounts if you were back into a tree or something. Maybe you could put some sort of "stopper" on it (not sure where) to prevent forward movement of the carrier. Possibly a ear welded on each side at or near the bottom bushing and one on the frame that you could throw a pin through to help absorb any impacts? Either that or plate the inside of the tub where the mounts are, or tie them into the rollcage somehow to beef up that area.

I only have one concern with the design, and that is the tube that actually supports the tire looks unbraced. That is quite a moment arm and I would be concerned that you may have a failure in that connection specifically when you put a 38" sx on there. Should be easy enough to add support, or run it till it fails, it may be ok as long as you don't baja like me

looks good

for this reason it will be tied into the roll cage on the inside

Nice work, could you post a couple of pics of how you braced the mount on the inside of the cab to keep the body from tearing away?

Thanks, Kevin
