LoD says you can run rotopax only on the passenger (hinge) side of the door linked units. I am not sure if you can attach the rotopax carrier arm to the driver's side in the door linked units. You might be able to, but it would definitely increase the stress on the latch which is the weak link. With the free swinging unit the bumper/frame bears all the weight.

Good question . . . I am pretty sure I had the window up and down when I checked out the jack mount. I will throw it on there tomorrow and make sure.

I have the linked version and have the rotopax mounts. It's suggested to only mount on the passenger side, but you are able to mount on the drivers side. LōD sent me two mounts as well :thinking:
Well, who knows. It could be just fine. Would be interested to hear if you spot any issues down the road.

Here's the thing. I don't plan on running RotoPax or even the mounts year round only for trips. So maybe I will test them with my mall crawling trips :cheesy:
I hear you. Unless I need it, all the rotopax stuff and the trail jack live in the garage.
I had spoke to LOD about this too. If your are running slabs and going to order a bumper call them and ask for the TJ bracket. The TJs tend to run backspacing in the 3's. But as per your fix, you just need cut the thing shorter so that the tire butts up.
However, right now I'm running my 35's on method wheels. They butt up nice and tight. Still have the jiggle though.
As for the jack and glass hitting, I took my base off just in case. It's a real close fit on mine.
