Great, that feedback is now coming in. Can you tell me which alternative
are you experimenting with. Unfortunately with high shipping costs to get
stuff downunder (I am in New Zealand), I can't experiment that much or that
frequently.

Do you have their fax number? I have chatted with Eddie and he is only
helping LoD (doesn't sell them himself as such). I do love the price, it
half of what I have seen for other products.
I don't mind the wait for an order to arrive as my current setup is
surviving for now.

This is brilliant, so Warn is now out of the picture. I might have a look
again at Wilderness tyre carrier.
BTW, I have bumped a couple of trees and a concrete pillar with my factory
stock front bumper (minus the plastic end bits) and it is still in good
shape with no damage. I did crack my fibreglass fender flare in the process
though.
Thanks
