He does good work but the design needs to be improved a bit. Throw a 100# wheel and tire combo on there and it will wobble and shake. Side view shows it really close to the rear hatch.
It’s not the final production piece but he is on the right track. Strengthen it up and make it bolt in and it’ll sell like crazy. Not sure why he’s shooting for $600 price point. His stuff is cheap, should pay himself more. This should compete with Rigid price wise.
It’s also not unique. 95% copy of IMP fabs setup.

I also would be worried about that spindle mount. A spare tire is a lot of weight hanging off the back, and the tires like to bounce and shake.

I agree. Don’t think that tubing will be enough. Idc how strong he thinks that boxed arm is. The pivot action will be too much.
Maybe he will hop on here and use our advice to make it better.
