What happened to Trout industries?

[Southbound]

I heard about them through this board. Looked like they made the best swing away tire carrier hinge around, as well as a handy tire mount, but their website is defunkt. Anybody know the guy or what happened and if I can still get those parts?

Thanks

If you're looking for a swing arm tire carrier try Iron Pig Offroad - Lance has some really nice set-ups - Don't know about Trout Ind. Sorry

iron pig, no doubt the best I've seen, and i love it!

Cool, thanks for the advice. I might have to go with Iron Pig just because of the name, too sweet!

you're not thinking of Stout instead of trout, are you?

 

[Southbound]

No, definitely Trout -

website works for me, but doesn't show the part you want. I'd go Iron Pig.

Site worked for me, and shows what I think you are looking for. Personally, I wasn't impressed. Why not go with a spindle from either 4x4 labs or Slee?

yeah, the website works but you can't order anything and they never respond to email.
I don't know, I picked trout after reading a couple of threads on tire carriers. The spindle in that photo sure looks purty though.
