In the far reaches of the south hall, we just happened to come across this Jeep JK Wrangler at the 2013 SEMA Show. While there were no signs for it, I think it's safe to say that it belongs to Knuckles Off Road...

That bumper tire carrier combo is kinda insane! :crazyeyes:

Seems a but much for me. Still a very interesting Jeep
 
Wow, glad to see Dennis at least got his jeep there! Things didnt go as planned as far as the build, but loving their bumpers!
 
As a concept I think it looks great...but the execution isnt quite what I would want it to look like. The paint scheme for the hood/body is too busy and takes away from their products :twocents:
 
I have never understood the design/reason for the rear tire carrier. Why would you want to place your 100+ lbs of tire and wheel that high up and on a crazy angle? Makes no sense, not very functional :thinking:

It's a design idea and that's what SEMA is all about. However, even for a guy GCM2's size, a solo tire change would be difficult. OK, so I'm 5'5" and I've got a flat on the freeway. I'm F*#KED!:mad:

While it is Sema, this has been their main seller for tire carrier for a couple of years now. I like the "out of the box" design and thinking but, being practical, its not for me!

Lol I helped lift one of their 40" tires on their carrier the other day. Geezus 40s are heavy! No way in hell can I put one on any carrier by myself.

But I'm good friends with the guys and they are just exploring options. It's actually adjustable to 3 different positions, straight up and down, slanted as seen above, and has an option to lay flat across the cargo area if you have a bikini top.

From what I was told, the slanted and flat across the cargo area options are mainly for rigs with wider wheels (15.5") to help departure angles. And to offer customers a different look that's adjustable.

You and me both. All that weight up high like that and just in the rear. I can't imagine how it would behave driving hard and fast through the desert. Still, there are a lot of guys that like it - to each their own I guess.

Start doing dead lifts.. Lifting that 40 will be a lot easier. :cheesy::rock:
