    We have a few new options getting ready to drop. The idea is that we'll likely make these available to TW before they hit the market.

    Any idea how long this is going to take to come to fruition ? With the current lead times and how long it is taking for a group buy discount to come together, I may just go ahead and pull the trigger outside of this. I have another trip in about 16 weeks and the hitchgate is a must before that trip.

    We were ready to drop an offer but had a wrench thrown in the works last week. I hope to have it up here this week.

    I would say 1-2 weeks until we can make the offer on all our newest stuff. My best guess at this point, from there, we could fill the orders in 3-4 weeks.

    We had one of the biggest volume months of our history last month with record orders...what this means is record numbers of gear needing to get welded! =)

    But with this new stuff, we HAVE to make sure it's spot on before we let the fine folks of TW put it on their exquisite machines.

    Unchained or myself will update you as things happen. Hoping to under-promise and over-deliver for you guys...especially in the quality and value department.

    Thanks for the patience gentlemen...and women?

    Almost any/every Hitchgate will block the rear view camera.
    How blocked it is will vary greatly depending on:
    • where your bumper is
    • where your camera is
    • how big your tires are
    • who won the superbowl
    This Suburban owner running 35's is going to have to relocate a camera to his Hitchgate somehow to get vision back...if he has a camera. His hitch sits very high compared to most cars.

    This new style Hitchgate does a great job at securing big tire...but you can see that while you have a spare in case of a problem...you'll have to make a concession.

    If you have a big van, you may have great vision using a new single sided Hitchgate. Here's a prototype we're developing.

    Thanks for the pics!
    Figured I would have to do something about the camera.
    I don't rely on it much. It's just there, and then you start to use it...
