Default Dirtbound Tire Carrier

Well i finally got my Dirtbound DIY tire carrier kit for my mojave cut and fold bumper...Now, basically all i got is a pile of metal in a box. which is fine, however it included no parts list, to make sure its all there, and no form of diagram to go by.
I tried getting in touch with Max without much luck, i guess he is relocating shop lately.

Anyway, has anyone built one of these? Any advice or description of what you received in parts would help.

Thanks.

That's a real bummer with nothing to go by and even see if you have all the parts, much less how they go together

I have had to work from a just picture of something and jigsaw everything out on a driveway "Layout" until it looks right.

Yes, Max is currently relocating halfway across the US. MN to be exact. I did some business with him in person just before he left CA. Cut him a break, he's relocating an entire fab shop halfway across the country. I'm sure he'll hook you up as soon as he is able. He's a great guy, and extremely knowledgeable and helpful, my advice is to keep trying to get hold of him, I'm sure once things calm down a bit he'll be on top of it.

snopro700 - were you ever able to get your tire carrier built? I recently received mine and it's the same story - pile of metal, no documentation, and no returned emails or phone calls.

Yes I did awhile back actually...max sent me some more info on it once. These are the best pics I have of it, I added the hi loft mounts. I may have a better pic of the frame somewhere. Will post if I find it.
