Default Detours Off-Road Tire Carriers

Has anyone here bought one from him? I ordered mine a month ago and still nothing. I email once a week to check on it and he still hasn't finished it. If anyone has bought one from him how long did it take to get yours? He said when I ordered it it would take no more than 12 business days. So...

Can't speak specifically to the Tire carrier, but I ordered a set of Slyders from him last year, and it did take quite a while. I think I was waiting about 10 weeks, give or take. The quality is solid, and I wasn't in a big rush, but as I recall, when I called him at week 8, he still hadn't started making them. I don't think I ever actually got an email response, but he answers the phone, and if you don't get him on the phone, leave a message, he called me back every time. Helluva' nice guy, does top notch work. For me, it was worth the wait. Good luck!

Well when I email him he usually gets back within a couple hours and says he's still working on it. Oh well. This Monday will be a month since I ordered it.

A lot of these small companies probably have a day job so it takes time for them to fill orders when they can.

I bought his light bar a while back, he had to make it (wasn't in stock) and it did take a while to get it. I e-mailed him once or twice, then didn't want to bother him anymore. I knew he would ship it once it was don't.


hang in there, it sometimes take a little time but 1000% worth it. Wish I knew about him when I started my build instead when I was just about done....

Yeah I'm being patient. I just don't know why he quotes 12 business days when he knows it takes way longer.

Well if finally came last week. Guess it was worth the wait though cause it's built pretty well.

Just a heads up if this is the tailbone carrier , I have over 80,000 miles on it with 3 different jeeps, all its needed from time to time is paint and grease it's never failed me with a 265/75/16 and a 315/75/16 no squeaks no problems at all.

I had his original prototype he sent me for an expedition vehicle I mounted it up and threw a 1500 mile trip on it.

I have a tailbone and I would say that any of his products are well worth the wait...you really dont want to know how long i waited to get a tailbone but after seeing one in person and the factory look I started searching.

This one is the knucklebone, I think that's what he calls it. Yeah it was definitely worth the wait. Went wheeling this past weekend and went through a whoop section going about 45-50 and it stayed solid. I was afraid it might come undone but the latches he puts on are pretty damn strong.
