That does look great. The issue with hitch mounted accessories is that they reduce departure angles, i.e., makes it worse. So, depending on the type of trails you travel, this might not be an issue. It's definitely easier and less expensive than the alternative, but at the expense of departure angles. Thanks for showing us this swing arm.
Seriously, it just looks great and fits perfectly. RIGd did an excellent job making this. There was only one downside, the instructions for the table did not match the mount I received - it was easy to figure out though…
Yeah… it’s not that bad once you get used to it. But in the 10 degree weather over the last month - it has been pretty difficult to open. I had to blow torch the pin one time. So not the best for cold climates
i have pretty much the same setup, and I hate the Rigd handle. It scratches the hatch door when not fully pushed back. I have replaced the rigd handle with a PNW bike grip which is longer and silicone so it no longer scratchs and is easier to open and close. I really wish they put the handle on the outside so that your now pushing your hand into the hatch.
@rachel7550 yes, I needed to clean it then spray it with bed liner. It's been great so far. They did have powder coat issues on their first go. I think they since use a different powder coater and are good now
@@brandocommando6593 that’s cool… I kind of want one for my sprinter van to have access to the back while having a lightweight bike and kayak rack attached, but not sure if opening it up every time I want to access the back doors of the sprinter would be a hassle or not. Does it feel easy to open? I would just get a cheaper plain swing arm but none of them seem durable from reviews
@@rachel7550 nit a hassle to open at all. I have this in a 4runner and love it. I'd highly recommend getting the table with it. I also carry two mountain bikes on it and no issues.
@@brandocommando6593 that is awesome… I really want it but nervous to pull the trigger since I’m stretched w the van build & still wanting to have money to travel lol. I’m glad to here it’s held up for you and that it’s not difficult to open… I’ll keep you posted on whether I end up getting 😆😅
1.) Did you relocate the back-up camera 2.) If you did not have you found it to be cumbersome at all? I drove without one for years but do like the feature and not sure how visibility with a tire in the rear will be. Thanks from Colorado.
Love the video! Fantansic review...Hey quick question. Where did you get those after market handles? And do you like them...I wanted some black ones; however, skeptical on their strength and attachment.
I found that mounting my spare tire underneath or on the roof so much easier, so much cheaper, and there's no interference with the license plate, the backup camera, and the rear door and window. Also I don't have to worry about backing out of tight places such as parking lots. I place a lot of value with the rear sliding window when I am hauling things like lumber or anything longer than 6 feet.
Yes that rear window mmmm baby. That is the icing on the cake for the 4runner. If they loose that feature in the 6th Gen like they did on the new Sequoia that will be very sad.
I gotta say your microphone is super clear!
wow, this is great. buying this over the wilco carrier now. thank you

I understand what you mean. I just installed my bundle on my Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk v8.. looks great.

I always have to ask, is there anything to deter anyone from stealing the spare tire?
Put a locking lug nut on does the trick.
Nice! Love the slide out cutting board.
Lloyd! Yeah - we’re going to have to test out that cutting board at the next tournament!
Seems gross. Using a cutting board left out in the open.
Great review. Yes, it looks amazing in your rig. Question…What is 27KS?
When you first pushed open that handle. I was like ouch. I feel like with time it’s going to get harder to open.

Doggie was like hey this is a good spot!!
Hahah

That’s what I noticed too. I don’t like that design at all. I think there other models all have it on the outside
Hey I just recognized you on Route 17! This beast caught my eye on its own and then I noticed your logo stuck to the back! 😎 👍
AWESOME! Yeah she's a noticeable beast! I Have some more content featuring this truck on the way! Thanks for watching!
I also have an ultra swing. Unfortunately mine rusted out in a few months.
The whole thing did? That’s crazy

really like your truck, I just inherited a 4runner 2011, did you have to raise your truck for those bfgoodrich to fit?
Yea! Did a 2.5” lift
Strongly considering getting this. Thanks for the video. Subscribed!
So cool!
Great review!! I need one!
Nice rig, may I ask what lift and rims you have there? Thanks
Method Rims with BFG mud terrain. 35’s I believe. Working on a new gladiator build coming soon!
Any issues with rust on your tire carrier yet? Im in upstate NY and rust happens even if you wash it off every day.
What roof rack is this? Thanks for the video !
Prinsu

Rig'd sells a backup camera remounting/routing kit.
Love the video! Fantansic review...Hey quick question. Where did you get those after market handles? And do you like them...I wanted some black ones; however, skeptical on their strength and attachment.
Looks like it’s a Venture model. Comes that way with the black rear scoop, and black mirrors.
how does it work with back up cam? it blocks it completely.
Nice! What size tires are you runnigyand did you have to upgrade to a heavier springs in the rear? Thanks
Does it help or hinder angle of departure given the added length of the vehicle?
Where did you bought it
something no one talks about is what happens to the rear camera with these
what wheels?
Method!
Does it block your backup camera? If so any solution?
How far does that thing stick out from your bumper? Thanks from Ulster County!
Are you running 285/70/17? Looks great! 💪
Yes! 285/70/17! With an icon stage 2 lift. I love this truck. It performs perfect for what I do off-road
@@StixOutdoorsOfficial thank you replying boss! Guessing 2.5” front/2” back?
Thank you for the video! What is the offset on the wheels?
