I ordered thru extreme, but DV8 drop shipped it from their place in Rverside.
DV8 told me that sometimes they drop ship directly to customers but mostly ship products to the extreme warehouses.
 
Well what do ya know.

Right after my last post a big box showed up.

Lots of spray foam.

Feels heavy duty. We will see.

Mine shipped from “Turn 5” warehouse. I think may be a sister company to Extreme.
 
Let me know how the install went... especially the drilling.

I ended up going for the exogate... but really wanted the dv8.

I am most of the way through the install. Have all brackets installed and tailgate reinstalled and aligned. Just need to mount carrier and tighten everything. Still have a few more holes to drill but will wait till the end for those. It is a bit time consuming. The directions pretty much suck, but the install is pretty straight forward. I had to cut the large hinge bracket in half to clear my flush LED tail lights. Time will tell if that weakens things or not.

I will have to order one for sure. I think I will upgrade the locking latch, just because. I am still debating on whether or not to sell the TJ, but the tire carrier will always be a plus.

I wish! No, keeping a JKU as the main/Only vehicle. With the divorce and all. If I can finagle keeping two vehicles I will
Been there man, divorces suck. My ex tried taking vehicles I had prior to the marriage. Not fun.
 
Not being a downer. Lets see some Jeep porn!!

I will probably do something like this. The JK will definitely get one some time down the line.

Have these saved as an "upgrade" for the ones that come with the carrier. Not sure if 600lbs will be enough holding, or if bigger will be necessary

Latches
