Looks nice. Better hurry and get to selling some as I know of someone who will be giving you some competition in the near future.

four bolts in the center using the stock locations for the reciever. I will also be drilling two more mounting locations in between the tail light and the reciever.In regards to competition...I'm not looking to make a business out of it. Just figured since I am in the middle of this I would build tow additional bumpers for the heck of it if anyone is interested. I'm not looking to make any crazy profit just looking to cover costs and laborno compition if someone wants to pick up a good deal on a carrier. great if not then it is what it is.

Touchy eh,

I think it looks like a great product. Good job.

That is all...

300 series

Go get some 316L welding rods. They will weld the stainless to carbon steel no problem. 316L is the best welding rod ever. It welds super easy and makes a very pretty bead. Has a rainbow color to it when the flux chips off.

I can get you a couple of rods if the welding store wants a fortune for them.

Just shoot me a PM.

Competition is good but it's hard to beat someone like Lance (almost in your backyard in VA) that has been R&Ding these for quite a while... He makes a quality proven product. You probably should look at options he doesn't offer (maybe you are with the dual swing outs) or offer a better price point (again, maybe you are)

I'm always interested in new offerings and new vendors... ESPECIALLY here on the good side of the USA

[Poser]

Do you have one of these on your truck right now?


How long have you been using it?

 

[calsum2]

JR FJ4 Thanks for the heads up and the offer regarding the rod. As it stands I have decided to create my own latch....Thanks for the offer..It is appreciated.

 

[calsum2]

Mark...again i am not in compitition with IPOR...I just had a blast making my carrier and decided that I would build a few more for the experience. If anyone wanted to claim them then great. I just want to recoup cost of materials and labor. I would build to order whether it be a single or double arm. reciever or no reciever. If all goes well and the final product was liked my arm could be twisted to make a few more.

In fact the design is a higjack from 4+plus, IPOR and Hawkdriver.

 

[calsum2]

Beefbarley..if you are interested send me a PM either way thanks for the input
