Damn!.....thats nice man, you gona sell those.

Not sure the amount ot time that was spent on it is a ass kicker. If we did they would probably fall into a $300. range but I will think about it after My rig is finished.LOL the nice thing about them is storage on top and the tire off you tailgate.

Such nice fab work!! Why 45 the back corners? It looks very cool but 90s would give a bigger platform... no matter...SWEET

Dude that is way cool! Nice job. I like the floor and the tube look of it. You could definitely sell a few of those.

Well being that I way over think stuff, I know Koko will eventually go with a cage, and if it were 90deg rear it would be in the way of the cage down tube so thats why. I also wanted to keep it as close to the tailgate as possable. Even after a cage is installed it will not be able to swing 100% up but it still give you the access you need.
thanx for the comps...

I wouldn't say you "overthink" stuff. You're just truly take into consderation what the end-user wants/needs. Then you apply that to your product while producing it. The end results are products that I've never seen or heard a complaint about. The only product I have of yours are the toy adapters and they are top notch. I can wait to get this carrier in and mounted.

Is that Rock4xfab toilet paper I see? When is that coming into production and how much? I'm very interested in that stuff. A must have off-road!

Right now we are just posting the pics to get a feel for who is going to want to use this. pricing will be in the $275-$325. range considering a tire carrier runs dam near that. and this gives you cargo area on top + keeps you COG LOW and off the tailgate to get rip'd off

The Haynes manual only costs like $10 , that's what most Zuk folks use for "trail paper" .

I think Scott is staying up too late at night . He not only missed your quip but posted a reply twice , lol . Speaking of "trail paper" , I wonder if Rob still has the bumper dumper ??? Maybe Scott could work on a new all-steel prototype ....

No I caught it, I thought everyone had stock in it... LOL anyway things have take a change today my partner lost his job.. no warning at all. SOOO Rock 4x is moving forward in the next few wks to see about a buisness plan, tax shelters and all the other rigamoro. To see if we can get financial backing to go full time, keeps us in your thoughts. I realy would like to make a full go at this..

 

[Sarge]

Too bad on his luck , that sux . Seems like there is no "lifetime job" anymore . If we all lived closer together we could do a huge joint venture , make a little of everything . I'm working on other markets , Jeep Toyota and some of the Euro cars to start with ....

Scott,

Give me a call tonight...has nothing to do with the tire carrier. Strictly business related.
