- Join us for another day in "The Scout Life"! In this new series come alongside Sean as he gives you a raw look into owning a Scout, like most of you watching! In this episode Sean is joined by friend, overlander, creator, and 1972 Scout II owner Jason Denney of RIGd Supply! One thing we've been trying to answer for years is what to do with the spare tire in our Scouts. Want to keep it in the back? Just make sure its a 31" or smaller or you will start sacrificing storage space. Want to keep it original looking? Say goodbye to most of your exterior tire carriers. Just recently though we came upon our new friends at RIGd Supply(www.rigdsupply...) who create really awesome swingarms we just couldn't take out eyes of off! Why does RIGd exist? Heres their statement straight from their website:
"The UltraSwing is not a cheaper band-aid to a replacement bumper and swing-out. The UltraSwing exists because we wanted a rock-solid, lightweight solution for carrying a full-size spare tire, bikes, and other essentials like a camp table, extra fuel, and recovery gear. We couldn't find anything that met all these requirements and also weren't happy with the fitment of other hitch-mounted solutions. We have the philosophy that just because something is hitch-mounted doesn't mean it can't fit on your rig as properly as a bumper/swing-out. The UltraSwing is the ultimate combination of functionality and reduced weight to be your companion on the aimless journey."
In this video you will get a firsthand look into the fitment of a RIGd UltraSwing Hitch
Carrier on Sean's 1975 Scout II from someone who knows everything there is to know about RIGd! Let us know what you think about these videos, how we can improve, and what you would want to see next!"

That works great with the original step bumper. Happy trails
The stock step bumper is my favorite!
Solid solution to 33’s! That’s going to free up tons of space in my ‘73. Love the forward thinking & practical engineering. Well done!
I’m excited to hear that this product will help other people! I’ve had it on my scout for about two weeks and I love it! More pics coming soon
Bro, love the look...tv on the double shelf cinder blocks!
Simple, strong and stylish! And oh yeah! About $25 in materials!
CA needs a bigger Scout scene!
Awesome design. Nice and solid mounting to the truck and looks great. Any idea on the tow / tongue rating? Also is it bearings or bushings in the pivot point? Always great to see new products for Scouts.
Yes it’s really solid. I was impressed! Excited to see this start to get out there
wow this thing is great
Love this solution! Heads up that the first link to RIGd Supply is misspelled.
thanks for the heads up!
With a little extension on the threads you can at maximum fit a 35 inch tire. Without sacrificing too much of your view.
I don’t think a 35” will fit with the seat down…and that’s a big ole meat to have inside!
@@anythingscout my dad was able to fit a 35 inch mud tire, it's not entirely straight but it's pretty close. I was just throughing out an idea that has worked for us is all.😂
I wish my 33's fit inside, but the roll bar I have won't allow for that. I don't personally care for an exterior mounted spare, yet my J**p and Scout both have them.
Great videos and appreciate the information. Got any 800s you can do the same type videos on?
I saw that guy at overland expo
Way cool
I didn’t think a class 3 like that would work with the factory step bumper?
that his pretty cool looks ez for the average dude
Can the tilt of the tire be changed so it will be perpendicular to the truck?
I’m not sure. Jason talked about the engineering behind the tilt…helps center of gravity
Sorry if I missed this but how much does it cost and is it avaliable now?
doesn't look like iowa with those surfboards
Good catch! Trying something new for a bit!! ☺️
i see a vintage longboard in that quiver. i can tell by the fin and all the repairs
@@erinforsale hey! Yes mid-fifties Velzy 8’6”
@@anythingscout SWEET. Raaawkin board. Nice find. Put that on this scout and drive around or even better on an older 80 scout like my 65 80 doll up. Full retro viben
@@erinforsale absolutely! we may just have to do that!
Why ya in California
New space we are exploring…more details soon!
