Tribal Jeep...wouldn't you be over the $1000.00 National quoted me after you have the carrier shipped here? If not, then what do you think you will be at cost wise if you go with Quadratech?

Shipping, duty, and brokerage would put you just over 1100 from quadratech.

899 converted = 946
shipping 100$ (minimum)
GST 52
brokerage 55

total 1153

try to get it from National for $1000 to $900... Try to deal with them... I usually try to build a relation with a shop and you'll see good deals coming across

Thanks for the info guys...those that have this carrier, do any of you have the jerrycan carriers? I'd like to know if I need the basket to mount them or if the can carriers are mounted on the frame of the swingout itself? Also, did the weight of this unit cause you too lose suspension height? Did you need to add a coil spacer to restore ride height? Thanks.

I looked @ the garvin before I built mine

You don't need the rack to mount the jerry cans but if you have a hard top make sure you get the swing away passenger side can mount or you won't be able to open the hard top glass If I had bought the garvin I was going to add a grease fitting to the hinge and change the screw style latch to a cam lock style 

But why spend a grand + than start cutting and changing it so I built from scratch

As for weight I find that it evened it out with the winch on the front
