Rear bumper stuff….

>>a provision to hold it inplace when open?
Dont know about others, I was considering offering it. I know exactly how I would do it and have all the parts here already. It would add about $20 to the price.

>>Also, any provisions (like a pre-drilled hole) to mount a CB radio antenna?
CB antenna mount is planned.

>>to mount jerry cans?
We decided against offering a Jerry can mount. I’d planned to offer one tucked next to the tire somewhere, but it turns out that the only way to do it is behind the tire. Doing that you end up with the tire hanging way out back and compromise too much on departure angle for my taste. It’s going to be more of a lean, mean & bullet-proof strong approach rather than a carry everthing and the kitchen sink approach.

It will have provisions for carrying a highlift jack.

It will not wrap around the sides. For me offer this, it would have to offer real protection, bolt on, and not cost a fortune. We didn’t feel it was possible to meet all three design goals, so we scrapped it.

It will have a receiver hitch, frame stiffeners and 1” thick steel recovery points for ¾” shackles, one hand easy open/close and 2” body lift adjustable.

>> It would be nice if the carrier was removable
It will come off with one bolt.

>>How much is the rear bumper w/tire carrier gonna run??
Not sure yet, but I’m trying to keep the price lean & mean too.
