Updated some of the available add-ons as we get closer to the production model. Some were dropped due to lack of interest and others were modified or added. Thanks!
Edit: Updated post 38 with pictures and instructions on opening. Go to post 38 to view.
As some of you know (who got to try it out) from SedonaFest Lucrum is coming out with a new Multi-Function Tire Carrier for the FJ Cruiser. The prototype was displayed and I have attached pictures below, here is the 411.
The Tire-Carrier will be compatible with the following bumpers; WARN, ARB, ALL-PRO and Stock. We will try to make it compatible with other popular rear bumpers as they are released. The Tire Carrier was designed to be modular and will be offered "A la Cart" (if that’s how you spell it). What this means is that you get to decide what you would like on it and how it comes. For example if you have a WARN rear bumper you will order the "WARN fit kit" and the "Tire Carrier" as two parts and then order any add-ons you want below. We will offer different add-on parts for the Tire Carrier so you can build it and have it the way you want it and if you don't want everything you DONT have to pay for stuff you wont use.
Here are some of the available add-ons;
1. High Lift Mount
2. Axe and Shovel Mount
3. 1 CB antenna antenna mounting kit. (with grounding wire)
4. 1 HAM antenna mounting kit. (with grounding wire)
5. Telescoping (height adjustable) Cargo Rack
6. Jerry Can Holders with lock
7. Back Up Light bracket kit
The standard features will include;
NEW! Ammo Can Mount now included as standard equipment
1. 2"x3" .250 wall steel arms with Proprietary lock developed by Lucrum
2. Tire Carrier arm that can accommodate up to a 37" Tire
3. Gas Can arm that will hold 2 jerry cans
4. Rebuild able high strength pivots
5. License Plate relocation kit
6. Light for license plate
7. Black powder coat
8. Lifetime Lucrum Warranty we are known for!
To use the Tire Carrier you simply pull on a easy to access latch on the left side of the carrier next to the Jerry Can mount and then pull the tire arm open, the attached gas shock swings out and locks the arm in place. To open the jerry can arm you simply open the back door. The Jerry Can arm is attached in a NON-Weight bearing method so that the forward and back position are proportional to the back door eliminating the need for another latch or awkward multi-swing out positions to open the back door, so easy anyone can do it!
To install the Tire Carrier you will need to remove your rear bumper and align the brackets to the frame that are included with your fit kit. The instructions will also give details on where to drill holes for the axles to pass up though the bumper. Then you will put your rear bumper back on and then the Tire Carriers arms and axles in the brackets dropped through the bumper. NO welding required!
