Thanks, we've had it since January. Just haven't done much to it. We usually take this one on long trips and grocery shopping.

Been thinking, this is going to sound odd. But I'm actually starting to like the new poison spider tire carrier. The upward angle seemed really weird with the first prototype, but the newer design is a little better. I'm planning on 35" tires, the evo or genright hoop would stick up to much. This hoop seems to fit a smaller tire better. I really like carriers that have tubes on the outside. Not like this jeep is going through holy cross or metal masher, but just seems like a little better than the aev.
Rotopax look to be easier and cheaper with this one also.
I'm either going with the aev or this one. Depends on price. Or I might change my mind again.
Is the upward angle a deal breaker for anyone else?

I've been annoying the hell out of PSC about that carrier over the past 3 months. I'm loving it, and definitely buying one.

ps had a video on facebook or youtube. they have a few new products. their new hood looks nice also.
i'm hoping the price on this carrier is reasonable.

I need to see how it compares to the genright. The only thing about the genright is the hoop sits high with a smaller tire. I wonder if this thing was actually painted black if it would blend in. Need to see other jeeps with it. I like everything but the angle also. Trying to see if I can live with it.
I'm really struggling with choosing stuff for this jeep. The dozer I knew exactly what I wanted. This one, not so much. I'm even changing my mind on the rims again.

to get an idea of what a 35 looks like in the genright carrier go back to the earlier pages of Hinrich's build. he had 35 trail graps in his genright carrier and it didnt look to bad.

True. I'm guessing it would be really obvious with a 35 too. :icon_crazy:

I emailed and talked with Rick at PSC. They ran the carrier for rally venture and said it performed flawless. He said they were looking into releasing it early November. I couldn't get a price from them but when they debuted the carrier in September of last year, the estimated price was around $850. I'm sure that's without provisions for hilift, rotopax, and cb.

Let's say you come off a ledge, or back into a tree or let's even throw in a shopping cart at Wal-Mart. It's not going to dent your tail gate or take out the back window.

I'm with you on the angle. I'd just go genright and be happy with my decision over than this particular carrier.
Don't feel too bad. Took me just shy of two years to pull the trigger on ENVY. LOl. I researched so many items and changed my mind so many times it was ridiculous. :crazyeyes:

I keep flip flopping on stuff. I need to look at a picture of the genright with 35"tires.
