If you've upgraded to bigger tires and can't find a place to put your full size spare, then your search ends here! This is a great alternative to a heavy and expensive full metal rear bumper replacement. At under 70 lbs. this high clearance tire carrier was designed to offer you the best in functionality without compromising aesthetics. Check out the features below!
Verified to Fit 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma. 4th & 5th Gen 4runner and more!
FEATURES
-Designed to mount up to a 35" tire. Height adjustable 1/4" steel tire mount.
-Auto latching hinge locator locks the arm in 3 open positions. The locator pin slides along a stainless steel plate with 3 hole positions. The locator pin can also be set to a free swing position. Keep your hands free and avoid the hassle of manually placing pins in the hinge.
-No extra brackets, mount your rotopax and license plate straight to the swing arm. Dirtcom's stainless drop down table will bolt right up too! Our Hi-Lift jack mount is on it's way.
-1,000 lb. rated latch to keep your gear secure.
-Stainless steel safety pin will keep the arm secured and rattle free even if the latch is accidentally opened.
-Anti wobble hitch mechanism keeps the tire swing from rattling in your vehicle tow hitch.
-Bottle opener is attached to the safety pin lanyard.
-Multiple mounting points. The vertical and horizontal 3/16" plates are laser cut with multiple holes to enable you to easily mount your own accessories with m14 and m12 nuts and bolts.
-Integrated License Plate Mount. Comes with an integrated license plate mount.
BUILD DETAIL
-1.5" .120 wall chromoly tubing for added strength and style. Chromoly has a higher strength to weight ratio than hot rolled and cold rolled steel tube. These parallel chromoly tubes are plated with 3/16" steel for added strength.
-2" Tow hitch receiver. Mounted up high for off road clearance using 1/4" steel.
-Dirtcom EPDM rubber pad will add extra strength and support. We located this directly under the tire to relieve stress on the hinge to withstand rough off road conditions. Strategically placed rubber stoppers are placed throughout to absorb vibration and keep your tire carrier rattle free.
-Tire mount. The tire is tilted to move the center of gravity over the hitch. Also it just looks better. The 1/4" steel used in the tire mount will ensure a strong, long lasting mount. Offered in multiple lug patterns. Contact us if you need a size that's not listed! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Rig welder here.... and that...is incredibly impressive.
Very well thought out.
Very well built.
This is my fav! can’t wait to get it for my v8 4Runner 2005 😍
Nice! Definitely will be getting one for my 4Runner in the near future.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Really good design!!
Can’t wait to get mine 🤙🏽🤙🏽
So cool!
Love the spring loaded cam lock twist lock plunger pin idea. I'm a mechanical engineer so I can appreciated all the R&D that went into this. And the price point your asking for this is fair if you compare all the features this has to the competition. Looks the best IMO and is practical and functional. Keep up the great work guys!
Awesome thanks! Your comment is very much appreciated! Check out the final production here! We made a few improvements th-cam.com/video/54b2ebDyVNs/w-d-xo.html
I think this the best design amongst its competitors. 💪🏼 🏆
Wow thank you! We worked hard with many versions before deciding to bring this one to the market. Check out our latest video clips offroading with the Trail Swing on Instagram @dirtcomplex
I need this for the Jeep Liberty!!😍
I need this on my Outback!
definitely nice
Very cool. I'm looking for a hitch-mounted spare-tire carrier for my 2014 Xterra Pro-4X because all the spare carrier/full bumper placements out there don't seem to address what to do with the two backup sensors that are set on central portion of the stock bumper. Would this allow me to retain the location of those sensors? I would hope so
Nice work but I would have concerns over the load now on the hitch when towing a heavy camper trailer with the extra load and stress on the whole towbar assembly.
can you do a 4runner update with a walk around and the current mileage?
Got one to fit a Samurai?? Nice set up.👍
This may be what I've been looking for. I have a 2020 Toyota Sienna awd GTRV camper conversion. I want to switch out my RFs with AT tires and get a spare.
It will fit the Sienna with a 2" tow hitch. Should look awesome with the GTRV conversion! Can't wait to see it!
Finally a new video woohoo! How’s the Runner doing? Is it at 500k now?
Miles are going up slowly but surely I'm still only at 485k
What size screws did you use for the rotopax and where did you get them ? Mine came with small ones that aren't long enough .
QUESTION...PROVISION FOR LICENSE TAG AND LIGHT???
I'd like one for a wrangler 4xe I just ordered .
Can this work with the camera Jeep mounts center of the spare ??
5th gen 4runners with back up camera still usable with this ? needs relocating ?
I wish I had a truck worth buying this for this is sick
Where can I purchase one of these for a 2014 Toyota forerunner? Does it only come in the center or can you get it to the right side?
Would this fit on a new Ford Explorer?
Can a 5gal jerry can fit behind the tire? Thanks!
Love this tire carrier but it doesn’t fit my SUV 😢, I don’t have access to my hitch receiver from the back to tighten the anti-wobble mechanism
Will this fit a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands?
Do you think it would fit a Ram Promaster van?
What other vehicles do you make this for?
You should do one more hitch receiver tube welded on the swing, so you can throw a bike rack or ski rack or other stuff that can also swing out with it
I'll do you one better. We have a bolt on accessory hitch that will swing out bike racks. Bolts right to the Trail Swing with no modification!
Will it work on a 4Runner with a Gobi ladder?
Murika! I need one of these. Hitch rating is still 7500?
Do you make these for tundra?
I have a Lexus GX 470 will your dirt com fit on my Lexus? Don
do you make one for a 2.5 Tundra..?
hello I have a question where I can put the license plate of my car
Only wish you would make one that is 1/3 of center .
Fits Jeep Gladiator?
How do i order one? The website doesn't work. Is this a bad sign that 5 months after this video goes up the website doesn't work?
What is the price on the trail swing ???? There's no price on the website
Is that weld cracked @ 3:21 ...?
I may have missed it, but is there a location where you could move your license plate and add a light to illuminate the plate at night?
Yes! Check out the picture on www.dirtcomusa.com
It would be awesome to mirror this to a drivers side swing mount so it can swing opposite the new Bronco swing gate. I know the Bronco has it’s own tire mount, but it only holds a tire, when there are high lift jacks, gas cans, and other things to consider.
We actually are releasing a driver side swing out version! Check out the latest video to see the up close details of these production version!
Production version up close details >>> th-cam.com/video/54b2ebDyVNs/w-d-xo.html
There’s a crack on the vertical lap weld on the hinge mount plate.
How can I get a hitch Mount like that?
How can I order one for my 05 Tacoma
3rd Gen 4runner?
cost the same as a whole rear off road bumper ?!?!?
Would you be able to mount a high lift jack under the tire? Or is there another place to mount it? Thanks
We're working out the best spot for the hi lift. It will fit under the tire as well but you'll have to offset it to the left to clear the latch. Vertical or angled is the other option. With all the holes in the plate someone can easily do a diy mount. We'll also offer an off the shelf bracket option.
Rigid is a awesome hitch but it is a lot heavier. Know several folks that have them but have to beef up the rear suspension to keep their rig level.
Looks good but for the price I will just get a full rear bumper with swing out. Looks nice though
Rear bumper with swing out is going to be $2200 +
Isn’t that how much this is? $2222 before add ons?
Please let me know when will you manufacture for a 2018 Chevy Colorado .. Mahalo
Hey they should fit the Colorado according to our measurements. We will have pics of one soon, our instagram account @dirtcomplex is usually the most up to date with pictures!
@@DirtComplex thanks
Where do I purchase?
Price??
Tag relocation? Tag Light?
Hello thanks for watching! The production model can be seen in the following video. Comes with both license plate bracket and light! th-cam.com/video/54b2ebDyVNs/w-d-xo.html
Will these swing wide enough that we can still open the doors on a Ford Excursion?
We have a larger full size version releasing soon
@@DirtComplex great
Hi I’m interested in buying one of these when would they be available and how much
These are available now. V2 has lots of upgrades and updates.
Email dirtcom@mlsalesinc.com
Thank you!
Will this get in the way when I tow my boat? I have a 4th gen as well.
We haven't officially published tow ratings yet, however if you look at rigd (10,000 lbs) and wilco (7500 lbs), our tow hitch is reinforced even more than theirs with our extra gusset welded on. We are using .23" steel at the hitch. However, please keep in mind to never go over your vehicle's tow rating.
Thanks for responding, I was just concern if the bow of boat will hit the spare. Will be ordering the awesome looking tire carrier.
@@bokhao8906 I feel like there should be plenty of room. From the hatch to the furthest part of the tire (at the center) it is 20" and at the bottom (because of the tilt) it is closer to 25" This is with a 35x12.5x17 tire.
Here is my rig. A 2005 Lexus GX 470 do you have something that would fit?. Don
Yes we do! Check out the Trail Swing LH (left hand swing) on our website at dirtcomusa.com
Will it fit on an FJ Cruiser?
We never thought an FJ would need it since the spare is mounted on the hatch. I would recommend our driver side swing for an FJ.
License plate location????
How can I order one of these
Order on Dirtcomusa.com
Since this video we have made lots of upgrades and improvements!
I'd be interested in knowing a price point
Check it out on www.dirtcomusa.com
How much is it going for with coating
Dirtcomusa.com
Check it out on www.dirtcomusa.com all the info is there!
It comes powder coated.
How much, where to buy?
Over 2k
will this work with my gobi ladder installed?
How many inches does the ladder stick out passed the tailgate the hatchback? Which vehicle? Thanks!
@@DirtComplex it’s my 4th gen. Maybe 4 inches out from the trunk hatch
@@SrFive77 It should fit! I will double check measurements on the 4th gen tomorrow. Wheel/Tire is 17x8.5 +0 35x12.5r17
@@DirtComplex running the same wheel specs with 285/70/17
@@SrFive77 Forgot to get back to you on this! Tire is about 7" from the hatch so that should clear just fine!
Will this fit a 100 series landcruiser?
You'll have to measure from the center of your tow hitch up vertically to the rear tailgate when its open. Do you happen to know the measurement there? Also, what's the total width of the tailgate?
Could you guys make something more affordable made out of a different cheaper material 2k is way to much
Whats the lead time?
Hey thanks for checking it out! Lead time is about 4-6 weeks! Which vehicle do you have?
@@DirtComplex subaru ascent. I actually already ordered today
@@DirtComplex 4 to 6 weeks is not bad at all. I have been looking for a short time at others and when I saw @jondzadventuring I loved your design.
Sponsor me for my Honda Element let me put one on send it
major issue for Tacoma!!!!!
Tailgate hits on the large bolt where the swivel is located!!! Will dent and scratch your tailgate!!
This needs to be fixed and then it will be awesome!
It looks pretty cool but it’s too much for a tire carrier.
RIGD supply has this beat by years
Wilco Offroad has Rigd beat by even more years. I would say Wilco popularized this concept first. We are just offering more style, more features, and more offroad clearance. Here's the production model th-cam.com/video/54b2ebDyVNs/w-d-xo.html
Crjj... what does that even mean? Does that mean that Henry Ford has every automotive company beat?
@@DirtComplex Hey man just to compare, is the Wilco solo also compatible with the 4th gen v8 4runners like with yours? I'm leaning towards yours but I'm making comparison notes. Thank you. Great product!
$1,350 for that? I can go get a full swing out bumper for the same price
I’m confused, is it $1350?? I’m actually interested at that. I thought I seen $2200?
@@chadwickwicky67 it was 1300 but within less than a year it went up to 2k if it was 1300 I'd pay for it.
BRUH $1700?!?!
...am I the only one that caught the cracked welds at 3:25
Hey thanks for watching! We've had 100 units welded up since this prototype. Check out the final version we made many improvements! What you are actually seeing is a direction change in the welding process and a bit of dirt trapped in that area from a few offroading trips.
th-cam.com/video/54b2ebDyVNs/w-d-xo.html
my fav part of the video is when you shake it and it moves inches back and forth and you say "it doesnt move at all. its funny shit dude. you should replace joe biden
It’s great design but 1200 bucks is out of my range...
Thanks for watching! We all have different budgets and needs for our rigs and we appreciate you checking out the video.
@@DirtComplex I get it R&D is a little pricey, but for the everyday person 1200.00 for a spare tire carrier is not an easy purchase. Especially where your competitors are sometimes down around half. Just my two cents, I’m not an expert By any means and I can’t just buy what I want, I have to plan. I can just say I have other things that would get precedence over this.
Brandon Pettit what competitors are half price?
@@kshine420 There are no direct competitors with direct comparison to the features we offer that are half the price. Closest comparisons would be the Wilco Hitchgate and the RIGD Ultraswing.
Jonny Rich Music lol u can't compare that design to the dirt com.
Get a real job your tuber thing has been done 1000 times and you have no content.
It makes me happy that you have no idea what you are talking about. It's really great! Makes me smile. Thank you for giving me a great laugh tonight!
