Shipping took forever, I tried to cancel 5 times before they shipped anyway.

It took forever so I tried 5 times to cancel the order and then it moved like magic. Some other experiences with this seller made me doubt I would ever get a refund if I sent it back so I decided to keep it to myself. As for the product, it appears to be well built and was easy to install. Well packaged, otherwise everything ok with the order. if you are in a hurry can look for another source. Also, it seems expensive for what it is.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Rotopax Installation Options

I bought this for my Nissan Xterra knowing it was made for a Jeep. It's really well made and it would be pretty easy to install on a jeep. The Rotopax team informed me that other customers have purchased the mount and modified it for their vehicles. My rating is based on use for a vehicle other than a jeep that required some modifications. Modifications included cutting and drilling new holes. Because this bracket is so strong it took quite a while to cut out these new holes with a drill press!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some issues

Works well but rattles

Works well with 3 gallon Rotopax. External placement of the Rotopax versus the spare was good on the 35x12 tire. I modified the tire mount and bolted it to the tire holder to make mounting the spare tire easier. The only things that could be improved would be a tighter fit between the inner and outer tube combination and perhaps the use of a captive screw with a built in handle instead of a set screw. Update: After using it on the road with a washboard, I found that the set screw loosens after…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Modern

WILL NOT FIT when shipped, you have to do the machine work

How can these guys charge over $85 for a part that you have to drill yourself to mount the bracket? If I hadn't gone on a trip this weekend I would have returned everything. The insanely overpriced price for what you get and having to do everything by hand to make everything work is annoying. Oh, and as others have said, there is no documentation. It took an hour, a center punch, a few good cobalt drills. and put a lot of thought into making this "technical solution" work. It's still too far…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
