Agreed! Great info. I eventually went for the tan color as my jeep, which is normally bright yellow turns a rather distinct shade of dirt tan color when I am off-roading anywhere near the Mount Shasta area. Might as well have the trasharoo be the same shade to disguise some of the dust.

Depending on the vehicle you drive you could do what @BillyBadly did and attach his to the rear hatch. Looking to do the same on my grand cherokee.

Tan, because it doesn't show the dust! I attach mine to the rear ladder.
That was actually @trikebubble who strapped it to the rear hatch on his Xterra, but I'll definitely borrow the idea until I get my rear swing out.

1. That's a sweet ride.
2. Those hot dogs looked absolutely fantastic.
3. This gives me ideas for a Trasharoo and beyond!

Don't mess with knock off cheapos Go with ARB.. all them folks down in the land of OZ can't be wrong.. or, do like I did, go with Christo Slee... either way, you're gonna get a high quality rear bumper/tire carrier that will more than likely outlast your vehicle. There are others, but OMG they are way overpriced.
I've worked with the folks at ARB in the past and almost pulled the trigger on a full set up for my Tundra, but - even with the discount I could have gotten (based on the work I did for them) it was still steep. But the build and overall quality is scary good.

IMO, black looks terrible all dusty, and it faded quickly.
On my second one, I went with green to match my other accessories [emoji106]

Glad you posted the pic of the Digital camo version. My wife has an Amazon gift card to use up, and asked me what color I wanted. I was leaning towards that. Think I will go tan.

I ended up with tan because I won it in a drawing at the north Texas overland roundup deal last spring. It matches the canvas from my tent and awning.
