That is nice install. Very clean carrier. Since they are not in production, would you mind taking a couple of additional pictures? I would like to see how the arm sits when closed. and do you know where the latch was sourced?

Thanks,

Mike

I'll post some more detailed pictures this weekend. Here is the list of the components and where to source that make up the carrier. Everything else you'd need will need to be fabricated from raw steel:

>> Wheel studs: http://www.atozfabrication.com/store...-Stud-KIt.html

Below are some pictures from the original prototype the guy on lrrforms took showing the latching mechanism:

Very nice. As everyone says, very clean. Looks very professional and sturdy.

My buddy just finished a swing-out for a P38 and it takes SOO much time to fabricate parts.

Hopefully see it in person at an NCLR club event. We are headed to Death Valley tomorrow.

The big honking piece of bent steel bolted and welded to the rear cross member (or whatever you call it on an LR3) in the pictures in the first post.
