Cool, I've searched and haven't found anything else that looks as convenient.
I completely agree, I just can’t get over the leverage that a 50-60 pound tire out there a foot will have on that bracket (perhaps even the cage tubing) when you’re bouncing off rocks, creek crossings and the occasional bottoming out flying down the trail. I’m looking forward to more reviews personally, like ucon411 posted hopefully.

Wait a minute Todd, I think you misunderstood, I didn’t order one, I encouraged @Sparky74 to order one because I need more reviews before I can order one. :D

I did misread your post. I'd like to see a mount with 2 clamps but nothing is available right now.

I figure this thread deserves to be brought back up since I finally bought the Dragonfire mount and added a spare tire. I set it up for either 4 seats or 5. I definitely like the 4 seat spot more but Dragonfire made a rock solid mount and I'm confident either position will take the abuse I put it through

Heres a couple photos as a 4 seat mount. It's a bit high but doesn't affect bed space and let's the bed dump. I'll run it here most of the time. The mount is solid clamped in place and you can yank the machine around with it.

Or off the back so all 5 seats are available. This hangs off a bit more than I would like but it keeps the taillights visible and doesn't obstruct the bed or tailgate

Any more updates on durability?

As mounted above ^ with the tire behind the bed, how much does it protrude outside the rops? Looks like quite a bit. Sure would seem to be easily hung up on trees and rocks. Any pix from that angle?

I have this mount and I have been happy with it. I run it in the 5 person position and it has been rock solid so far. Sticks out about an extra foot and sticks out the side of the machine probably 3 inches but im yet to snag it on anything. Time will tell, but I usually do not ride in really tightly canopied areas. This mount is solid as hell tho...

Digging up this from the past... sorry newbie here (better to search than ask the redundant question... right?)

I ordered one - any more updates - anyone break it yet?:D Only the 1.75 model was available for order

Boys you don't ride in the hills/mountains of the Ozark's, we make big breasted women lay in the floor board on off camber sections around here, spare tire over your head, not going to work around here.

What tire is this? 🤔 It looks like a good all around donut.

Ive had mine for about 6 months, but only use it on trips. I take it on and off as needed.

Ive never been to the Ozarks, but I’m confident that gravity and the mountains in my haunt areas (Rockies/Black Hills) are similar 😎.

when I don’t have my tailgate extender on (Family day trips) I’ll either ditch the carrier or lower it below the tailgate. Even with the extender on, it can be lowered and just hang off the side.
