Real world experience with FJ40 4Plus tire (only) carrier (1 Viewer)

[phishtaco]

Has anyone mounted a HiLift to the tire carrier only version?

Really like the 4Plus carrier (although mine’s a double sided) and agree with what others have said…stout, quiet, and well built!

Do you have caps on the right side? Can you share what they are from where?

I have a basket on mine that I've thought a long time about removing, but didn't want to leave that end with just an empty hole.

Just got the 4Plus rear U-Bolt flip kit.

Fast shipping and Copper State Cruiser discount!

Really heavy duty stuff.

Bryant,

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say you have an absolutely gorgeous FJ40!

Any chance you might start a thread with some pics?

Thank you! Much appreciated.
Here are a few pics Fj40 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/media/albums/fj40.7906/

And some during my build here.

You probably shouldn't mention a discount that most of us can't get!

Curiosity of someone contemplating 4Plus ... Why do more people not use this one from 4x4 labs? It seems more elegant in terms of the angling of the arms. The Landcruiser Shop has a great build with this that caught my eye. 40 Series Rear Bumper - https://4x4labs.myshopify.com/products/copy-of-70-series-rear-bumper-2

Maybe because they want $900 more for a double swing out, $375 for a tire hanger, plus $150 additional for residential deliveries might have something to do with it.

Looks nice, but gets expensive really quickly!

VERY well made. I did mine and was impressed with how they relive the metal in the slots and it almost locks the U bolts in place and makes a very smooth transition on the bottom of the plate.

Because it’s infinitely more expensive once you add the tire carrier and basket/can carrier to the order.

Exactly!!!

I have not purchased one from 4 plus yet but plan to as my build gets to that point. I did have a conversation with the owner, and he is a super cool guy. He said he could deliver to me like 40 miles away as his family is near. He was super interested in my FJ40 ask me questions and giving me advice. Super guy

 

[woytovich]

Agreed. He has been super helpful to me many times over the years.

I wish there were more things I could buy from @lcwizard !

I haven't seen it mentioned much but for anyone that wheels their 40 I would highly recommend the tail light protectors, goes with the swing out like white bread and bbq
