ARCHIVE Wits' End 80 Series OEM Bumper Mounted Rear Tire Carrier (formerly AJIK)

[NLXTACY]

I know it's not 100% possible for you to say, but do you foresee any potential issues with hitch mounted swing away bike carriers (like yakima SwingDaddy or Thule Vertex.) In my head I'm picturing enough space for both of them but just wanted to be sure.

No clue. I can give rough measurements given the back spacing from a stock wheel and a 315 tire but other than that it'll be someone trying it out.

Really looking forward to this! Ever since I saw the carrier on Landtank's 80 I've wanted one! US Driver's side with HiLift carrier!

Joey,

Just posting various pics in various stages would shut most of us up til you're ready for our money. With a tire on the back I feel a camera incorporated into the plate is ideal and a must for safety. Plus I use the hell out of my trailer hitch so that would just make it better .

I'm all for a camera. But I need suggestions for which camera to use. There are hundreds and I'm not up on the latest tech.

just allow mounting holes for a license plate and let them buy their own cameras

Looking at 2" receiver mount options (~$600) and not liking the low hanging hitch.
Looking at bumper options ($2500) and not liking the state of my wallet.
Can I change my vote from "Sure, maybe. Why not?" to "Hell freaking yeah its about damn time" and also add a question regarding ETA/testing?

 

[sleepycruiser]

Can I be the tester? If I can mount it, I promise you anyone can.

I should have news this week. I need to remedy my current metal production woes before I take on another one.

Looking forward to hearing about this, I'm very interested. On a side note, Thanks for taking the time to follow up on my order yesterday. It was a pleasure to talk to you and showed fantastic customer service! Thanks again

Will this work on LX? I know there are some subtle differences between rear bumpers.

As far as I can tell it'll fit either.

Yes, I have one on mine currently.

Any update on this project? I see you have been putting out a bunch of new stuff and I keep hoping to see this closer to reality.

I'm methodical. If I don't have a clear path to complete the project I tend to continue researching and refocusing on individual components until I get a satisfactory solution on the production side. I'm not 100% there but it's still progressing. I want to see this done soon believe me.
