JCR vs Crawler Conceptz Body Mounted Tire Carrier

[FishsJK]

I just took two Rotopax L brackets and welded them to a piece of six inch 1/4" plate. Then through bolted it to the CC mount in the open holes above the spare mount bracket.

That exhaust is bad ass!!! Too bad I need my hitch [emoji17]

Is the tyre centred on the rear of the jeep with both of these?

I'm looking at getting one of these. How do you think they will hold up to direct tire hits while dropping off ledges?

Thats is just the solution I have been looking for :thankyou:
Can you post a photo from the driver side? And maybe a close up of the bracket itself that you made? Looks badass :thumb:

No problem. My son has it at college, but he should be home this weekend. I'll get some close up shots of what we did.

It looks good and I like it. What do you think about the way the tire was bending forward in the video? Will it hold up you think?

@Joelhita nice 2 door, that cc tire carrier is exactly what I have been looking for. Plan on stretching my 2 door so this is perfect.

I think that might be by design, watch the install video on CC's channel, they talk about how the bracket that holds the tire works.

Yes, the install video shows that the plate that holds the tire is designed move slightly up upon an extreme load to prevent breakage of the entire carrier. And if it does brake it is cheaper to replace than the entire carrier

I've had the cc carrier for 3 months now. It's been holding up great and doesn't make a sound.

Thanks, yeah, if I didn't have the other Jeep with a hitch, this wouldn't work out for me either.

Is the tyre centred on the rear of the jeep with both of these?

Yes, it is right in the center.

I've hit mine a few times and haven't had an issue, but nothing real hard.

Ok. So that is probably it. I watched the video with the sound muted at work. I will check it out now. Either way, it seems nice.

My son didn't come home this weekend. Here are some pictures I found.

Hopefully these will help. If not. He comes home for the summer next Friday and I can get some better pictures.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.
What size Rotopax are they? 1 or 2 gallons?

 

[JohnnyWest]

That looks great.

Thanks, we put it together real quick for an overland trip we were doing.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

2 gallons. You can still get your hand in there easy to access the rear door handle. I'll get some better pictures for you at the end of the week.

 

[WJCO]

That came out really good. Clean looking.

Hey JohnnyWest.

Did you get some photos of the mount you made with the L-brackets from Rotopax?
Or maybe your son can forward you a few shots so you can post them here :thumb:
