Nice! Been waiting for this!

Since you have tested both pass and driver sides, which side do you think offers the best visibility?

Looks really nice josh. And knowing you it is well thought out and built stout.

Congrats on a new product that I am sure will sell nicely.

AJIK is still working to finalize the carrier. As Josh states more details will follow.

More product details and how you can order will be released once pricing is finalized[/B].

Nice! Been waiting for this!

Thank you for your patience!

Since you have tested both pass and driver sides, which side do you think offers the best visibility?

Mounting the carrier to the DS offers the greatest visibility for US vehicles, but has it's own unique set of design issues.

Looks really nice josh. And knowing you it is well thought out and built stout.

Any gas can option on the other side?

 

[TEXASYETI]

Looks really good, Josh! Looking forward to more info on this.

I think you hit on a real winner here. Obviously price will make a huge difference but your solution rectifies several key issues I was looking at aftermarket bumpers to resolve:

1. Gets the tire out of the way
2. raises the hitch up

I am excited to see what you have come up with!

Initially this was a design consideration, but one that is better reserved for a full armored bumper.

Thank you. The initial design credit goes to ih8mud member Flank, AJIK has his permission to bring our version to market. Pricing is still to be finalized, however, a consideration throughout the project; most should be pleased with the balance between price and quality that we aimed to achieve. I would like to also add "weight" to your list, the AJIK carrier prototype weighs approximately 75lbs. Thank you for your enthusiasm, as we are equally pleased to offer a needed solution.

Any chance of buying one with a basic arm with no tire carrier welded on? I have a factory tire swing-out on one side, but I'd consider something like this to hold a couple of gas cans on the other side.
