I agree that this needs tweaked but becky for 950+ shipping is not worth it. Just get a full rear bumper at that point. If these guys could get a brace to support this for under another $100 then at 550 we would have the setup we all want.

nice! looks like we have someone that is open to ideas. this could prove to be something good to come.
Haha yep! Mine wiggles on rhythmically bumpy roads like crappy highways, but is pretty good on slow crawling off-road.
Was it SSO whose rear bumper had a swing out that tied into the door? Considering if that mod is possible with my bumper. Anyone know if that helped with the wobble?
Also, props to JW for working on the support idea so soon after it was brought up.
Love to see a company that listens to input from the customer! Way to go @JW OffRoad
this project is definitely on my radar ..... with my new aux tank taking up the spare tire space underneath i NEED to do something now.... the door brace is the last thing to check off the requirements list.

they announced the cross member brace and it looks like it will support the door, not the mount itself.
That’s a shame. Wonder if they would get in trouble if they copied the Becky design.
Unfortunately unless becky got a pattent it would not cause any legal issue. Its up to the customer base to suport it. Plus any slight difference design and its not a pattent infringement either. So it would only copy becky only if it exactly the same style using shim and plastic strip to support the tire weight. I still strongly believe the support need to be made further toward the back of the truck to reduce spare tire bounce.
I dont like centered tire carrier. Its out of character for Toyota. I did not buy Becky because i dont like the look. At this point Becky is superior but still a lot of room for improvement.

You are right about them looking weird with the spare being centered. Alright who is going to design one that is shifted to the hinge side. In theory it should put less stress on the hinges and latch if supported properly.
I haven't mounted one so this is only an assumption, but i don't see a reason you couldn't mount it offset to the hinge side.
Maybe the door inards dictate where is must be, but at a glance it doesn't seem that way.
I think the price if the becky is offensive so I put in an order for this. Fingers crossed it acts as planned.

Same... somebody mentioned it was almost at “f&$@ it” price. I’m going to give it a shot. I talked to them about placement as well. I was thinking of getting a Gobi ladder on there.

Not a theory, basic physics. Offset towards the hinge would also keep my Gobi ladder functional - hoping this happens.
Updated on their Instagram page. Looking good.
Getting excited!
A lot better!
Price jumped up to $575. That’s a shame.
