So, I got a phone call this morning from one of the former OR-Fab employes. He told me the entire story about why OR-Fab failed, why they never opened their doors again (like they claimed they would), etc. Anyways, this guy was very nice and we talked for an hour or so. After OR-Fab went out of business, he started his own company building parts for Toyotas and Jeeps.
He told me he has been monitoring this forum a lot, and sees the OR-Fab tire carrier being mentioned often. I told him that a lot of us would really like one. He said that he plans on producing them again and has for a while, but in order to do so, he needs an OR-Fab tire carrier from someone who either wants to lend him theirs, or someone who is selling one (he is willing to pay).
Once he gets ahold of one, he is going to spend several months reproducing it and getting it right, and then he plans to make a hundred or so for an initial run. I told him that if this comes to fruition, I think we could probably organize a group buy, as a lot of us have interest.
However, before this tire carrier can be reproduced, he needs to find one for sale so that he can copy it.
Anyone know of one for sale?
