Default Video: Hard Labor Creek Tire Carrier Install on Discovery II
Here is the video of the Hard Labor Creek Tire Carrier video tour. I picked it up in person in GA and got to see Denny's shop. This thing is sweet and very over built. 2" diameter tubing. The spindle is hardcore and way overbuilt. There strong engineering behind this tire carrier. And I was lucky enough to get the 2nd generation

I am happy with the tire carrier. The bumper is about done and has taken me forever to complete...as in about 10 weeks on and off working on it. Now I think $1200 for a rear bumper is a fair price.
