![]() The ORFAB tire carrier is mounted to the frame, through the tub and down onto the frame with brackets inside the light wells in the back corners. It has places for antennas, although I don't want to place an antenna below the roof rack, just wouldn't transmit well. I'm adding a propane tank carrier (because we are going on longer run over a week and don't want to carry that many of the smaller fuel tanks). ![]() The ORFAB Tire Carrier carries my 33" Mickey Thompson Baja MTXs, two 3 Gallon Rotopax fuel cans, my Hi-Lift jack, and Trasharoo. I bought the one with the two three-gallon Rotopax fuel cans. I cut off the tire carrier and replace it with an ORFAB tire carrier. I really like them, but the rear bumper had a swing out tire carrier that rattled constantly on the trail. When I bought my 2011 JKUL it had the Smittybilt SRC bumpers and rock rails. This will help you learn thru someone else's experiences, and you learn to work as a team.īe happy to share my knowledge and experiences. I would recommend that a group of you get together and review and actually try some of these methods before you need them. If you are just starting out, you can use a rock, or dig a hole perpendicular to the line of pull and use a log, rock, spare tire, or other long item to pull against. It works every time, and it is easily recovered. A after a lot of research, I chose the PullPal. Now for the anchor: there are a lot of choices. Fortunately, most off road wheels have spokes, so you can make a windless for a short pull out. If you don't have a winch, you need to be able to use you wheels. A rope can be tied into a knot and continue to work. If you break a cable, you probably won't have the tools to slice it. If you have one, it should have rope, not wire cable. If this works, you just drive up and out. But the PSP (pierced steel planking), and sand ladders work well. There are several good tracks that you can put under the wheels in the direction you want to go. Every overland vehicle should have axe, shovel, and hi-lift type Jack (if you're in sand, you'll need a base for the Jack). If you are not too deep, try digging out. I have seen hitch shackles breach and go flying into a windshield. You will need a solid anchor point connected to the frame. This can be a simple pull, but you make have to use a kinetic strap. The best way to extract is have someone else pull you out. I live in Nevada and there are a lot of desert runs, meaning no trees! So if you run out here, and get stuck, you had better know some of the different methods for self extraction. There are a lot of options for land anchors.
