Possible new product?

I posted it on the TTORA board but I wanted your guys input also.

Who would be interested in something like this.

It's a tire carrier/bed bar, that folds up to use the space underneath it for storage.

The reasoning behind it is simple we have had a few customers come to us for a double bed bar tire carrier. The problem is your rear view mirror is use less when you have the tire there.

This little bed rack thingy mcbobber would keep the tire low unless you wanted to carry a load, then the legs fold down and you can use the space under it for storage i.e. gas cans, ice chest, bags?



The bed bar holds the jack and a few light tabs and other misc antennas. I could do some bung inserts on the side rails for a shovel and or axe type equipment?

Looks good, put one on project x. Or is it project y this year? Whatever, it is badass, allows more use of the bed, etc.

I like it, but I would really like what you didn't. I would want it to be part of a regular roll bar so that when it flips up I have more room. Now that I would buy.

not to turn it into some crazy contraption

but would be even sicker with a jack and shovel mount, as well as taps for offroad lights maybe?

having a pair of light there to shine backwards or off the side might be real useful

just my .02 cents
