I'm keen to know if anyone here has fitted a FR rear wheel carrier? 
I know some fitted the one from BRS...
Want to know what the quality and fitment is like for the 2 types/
Also what are you guys with carriers' experience been like thus far? I'm TorqTuned

I haven't seen the FR one , so I can't comment on that - but things I don't like about the BRS one are the fact that you lose one of your PDC sensors and it is also very wobbly. Having said that it seems strong enough - but Karl was bitching about how long it takes to fit

Mine is self made, but you will never get all the wobble out when off roading.
Because of the way they have to be designed and mounted. D3 bullbar-spots-roof rack with spots-ladder-long range tank-swing out spare wheel carrier- upgraded tow bar-dash console-internal water tank-duel awnings-drawer system & T T.

I also have the BRS one like Heine, and its good but yes its a little wobbly. It has been tested offroad in Bots & Nam, and so far so good. I did a mod to it to decrease the wobble - Heine will show you how to do it when I see you.
That said, I have had a good look at the Front Runner one on and off vehicles, and their latest iteration is very very good. Its made of a huge box-section and is a lot firmer than anything else I have seen, as well as having a much better latching system.
It does interfere with one of the PDC sensors though, but I was discussing with them this morning how they could overcome this by just bending the handle a bit.
Chat to Wayne, Louis, or Monique at FR
