Another Dirt Road Fab happy customer!

Too bad that bed extender/spare tire carrier didn't come in a version that isn't a bed extender and keeps the tire tight up against the rear of the machine. That set-up won't fit on my trailer with the rear ramp up.

I had similar issues, I couldn’t move the Talon back far enough to control tongue weight.

Proper tongue weight with only the Talon loaded -


So I extended the ramp holding straps. I’ve since cut off one hole, 3 extra (total 4) leaves me one spare but I didn’t know that then.


Way more than enough to compensate for a full fuel load up front.

I would definitely buy this extender if I had a Talon.

Yeah it's nice, but I guess you need more then just a spare tire when you ride a KRX.........😂🤣😂🤣😂

Not sure if there is actually a KRX involved here, but if so we offer one for the KRX as well 😁

I just looked it up. Looks sweet. I was looking about 6 months ago for a bigger extender than the one i have for the krx. Didn't see anything then. I don't know if that will work with my emp receiver hitch/winch mount. I definitely need that extra extension that yours has.

Looking at the hitch it should work. What is the dimension from the center of the bottom bolt and the bottom of the first bend.

It would probably work with the hitch with no winch mounting plate. But mine has the big plate on top. Right in the line of those 2 support arms.

Don't know where you are in the northwest, but i spent my time in the woods on the soggy side. Love the look up there, weather down here is better for me!

I’m on the west side, close to Seattle. But we are ready to get out of here. But it might snow here tonight. So fingers crossed. There may be SXS videos of me in the snow. 😂😂

I just ordered a DRF extender and I'm pretty sure I'm going to run into this as well. Big Tex 60PI 12'. I'm hoping it will fit with the spare removed, and if not, I can back it on the trailer instead. Don't really want to back it on, as this will change the tongue weight and I've spent a metric assload of time getting it so it tows sweet. Time will tell, I'm only 3 weeks into the waiting period.

I had to do it, regardless. They just look too nice to settle for anything else. I also need to get the center of gravity moved back to make up for some of the chassis shortcomings.

Figure out a way to lay the tailgate back like I did in post #21.
