What exactly are you looking for? I still can't do anything with my site, but I have a butt load of pictures, so if you need something specific, I can look and email them to you if you can get me your address. I even have pictures of my 35" MTR's from my cherokee mounted on Ted's carrier just for fun and design idea purposes for our SFA conversions. Wally, JJ, and Seths SFA's have my rear bumpers two of them with my carriers, and both of those were first and second prototypes before the carriers were even in production, so how they are holding up to 35's, I don't know and it won't help knowing anyways since the production models aren't anything near those two prototype designs anyways. In all honesty, I feel comfortable saying my carriers in current form will handle 32's easily, but that is the limit. Can they handle more, I'm sure they will. However, for SFA KJ's going 35" tires, I recommend the setup built specifically for the 35"+ tire. Ted and Troy and getting their rears replaced for these. These are custom bumpers and carriers, and although they will look almost identical to production models, they will be extremely reinforced internally, have 1750lb spindles instead of 1000lb, and the tire carrier will be angled to match the angle of the rear window for better departure angle and put more weight of the tire directly over the swing arm intead of out away from it. The SFA jeeps will get beat around a lot more and the weight of the 35's on steelies will take a serious toll of the rear bumpers/carriers, so they will be made indestructible. We aren't playing around out here. :twisted: With $15000+ in parts per KJ, better make them earn their keep.

Don't take this the wrong way, I was just curious about the rear tire carrier and I'm not buying a Komodo but having a custom tube one built next week. I just wanted to see how the swing away sat against the back of the jeep. I was curious about how low the bumper sat in relation to the gas skid and how low the carrier was with any size tire on it. Also without the swing away.

Oh, and do you answer PMs? :?

No offense taken, I know you are having a tube one made, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I try to answer them, if I get to them before they get pushed out by all the other pms they keep flooding in. Did you send one? Sorry if I missed it. Try again, or email, or call, or all three and I will usually get to one of them that way.
