Love the simplicity of this rear tire carrier. Anyone know what brand it is?

For anyone looking, here's one for sale in Pueblo, CO on Marketplace. Pretty steep tho...

 
just pre-ordered.
 
Hell yes, I’ve been waiting for him to sell these. Thanks for the heads up, just pre-ordered 👍🏼
 
Wow! That's cool. Steep price, but cool. Make sure to post up a review and some photos and/or a video once you get it installed. Might be interested in one of these.
 
Ordered the fifth wheel mount. Premable, yes, I understand all of the nuances of old rigs, measurements, exact fits, etc. No, I will not accept that as an excuse for $2K. The first time, the bracket wouldn't fit the bumper, so much for it being "bolt on".

Huh. OK, let me return it and get a replacement. Done. Four weeks later, I go to mount the hardware, yeah, it's super tight, but wait. The spring-loaded stop won't even line up with its stop hole (problem 1), but the bigger issue is that the latch is way off.

I'm not in industrial design, but why they chose a super-small latch is beyond me. Yeah, not worth the money. Maybe their affluent customers have all the cash to pay for their billable hours, but I don't, and I'm very unhappy about this. I'll just have to find a local shop to help me correct their mistake and eat the cost.

Thanks for the headaches, Brian. I'll just have to find a way to scratch that brand name off the handle in protest.
