I made my own hitch mount spare tire carrier.

Hey everyone!

We are getting very close and are working on finishing up everything on our end. We will be reaching out to the original designer to finalize the details.

If you are interested and are planning on purchasing this, please let us know. If you have friends or family that are interested, have them let us know too. We are trying to estimate the true want for this hitch tire mount before we begin setting up the production side. Thank you everyone for being patient and we will bring you another update as soon as we have it.

maybe itll make it to the Armageddon armor side too?
 
Update!

We are working on getting all our pieces cut and pressed. We are changing a few parts of the process to help speed up production. Once we have the initial set in, we will be able to release the final pricing. We are looking at having that information out next week. Thank you everyone for contacting us about your interest and we can't wait to move forward with this.

At the release, this will most likely not be a AA product but I will see if that is in the future.

This is good news for the T4R community. If the SSO version is built on par with CTNewman' Carrier, it will be top notch. I still get asked about mine!

We will be reaching out to the original designer to finalize the details..
I hope you have reached out to [MENTION=602811]ctnewman[/MENTION] to finalize the deal since you are actually in the final processes now.
 
One question I have. originally didn't CTNewman offer both centered and offset?

If so, will these be offset or centered?

I think I'd prefer the offset, but just curious.
 
Let's try this again, first test swing arm is being made.

Apologies for any confusion my earlier post (now deleted) may have caused regarding SSO's interest.

I am REALLY psyched about this!

I have only one gripe, and it is that the location of the backup camera prevents you from putting the rim cap in place on the spare, but such is the nature of the beast. I am looking at the camera that goes up on the spoiler as an option, but I think the view from the spare tire location will be much better.

Either way, one of these is getting on my runner!

Thanks, CTNewman, for an amazing job!
 
I know this is a pretty old thread but I just managed to pick up a second hand SSO carrier and couldnt be happier, i have been following since the originals were made but unfortunately missed out on getting one. Was super excited when SSO started making them until i saw the price.. but luckily patience paid off and i found a used one for half price and jumped on it. got it installed last night and it looks even better in person! still need to wire up my backup camera and plate light.

What do I have to do to get one lol. Been searching for months.

Good luck on that! I've got one of the original "Pre-SSO" carrier and not planning on selling any time soon.

For those that are curious, I've done multiple trips both pulling my excursion trailer and not, some with seriously sketchy offroad segments and the carrier is still going strong. The thing was designed and built like a tank!
