Got some opinions on who makes the better tire carrier between the two? They come out to basically the same price w/ paint, Hi-Lift, and frame tie ins. Just curious who has them and what they think. Don't think I need the Jerry can option. So far I'm leaning toward the Jeeperman. Thanks
I got the Offroad Tech one. I was leaning toward the Jeeperman one and then I saw the Offroad one on 4x4rockshop's site. Started comparing them and went with the Offroad Tech. The deciding factor was I didn't like the length of the Jeeperman. A cool thing about Jeeperman though is that it's adjustable 1" if you have a body lift. I really like mine, and I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. They're both rated up to a 38" tire.

I ordered the jeeperman a few weeks ago. I liked the way it shut, like a car door. I also like where the hi-lift mounts. Expect a wait time of 4 or 5 weeks though. Also ordered the 3rd brakelight and the frame reinforcement.

K. The OffroadTechnology one is about $100 cheaper through Mike at Rockshop so I ordered it. Offroadaz has the Jeeperman too. I guess I'd rather spread the money and brand names around. Also his will rattle every once in a while 'till we retighten the bolts. We'll see which one is better in the end. Thanks for the info. And thanks again to Mike
maybe special j will buy my jeeperman bumpers so i can order the poisonspyder one when it comes out

Out of curiosity, what about teh length on the Jeeperman did you not like? The top is the same width as the body tub so it should protect as you come off a rock or log. The lower part of it is tapered at a 50 deg. angle to push the Jep away from that rock or log. Did you wish for longer or shorter width?
