Wilco Hitchgate Solo

What do you mean by that? Mine are worth a lot more than stock Off Road wheels? You would make out on the deal not me.

 

I don't think that is such a bad trade.

 

Me either he wins but okay

 

I thought so too.

 

Ok, ok, ok. Everybody be cool...

I concede, and no disrespect intended.

I didn't go back to look what you were running until now. I still prefer mine, but it's a matter of taste not value.

 

Has anyone used one with a pelfrey or allpro style bumper with the integrated hitch?

Wondering if the standard will still clear the tailgate

 

I would think most Pelfrey or Allpro owners who want a tire mount are just getting the swingouts as part of the bumper...

 

I got my bumper second hand, no swing out

EDIT: Found an example, post 254

 

I thought of that just as I posted. Can it be retrofit?

Either way, the horizontal mounting post is pretty deep, and has two hitch pin holes for some adjustability. I suspect it'd work ok, so long as the integrated hitch isn't too far recessed.

But, having not seen the bumper, I don't know.

 

Fairly recessed, found an example on post 254, cant tell if it clears the d ring mount or if he cut it off though

 

Whoa! Permission to share these sir!? You on instagram too?

 

This guy didn't. He added ours...cut off the d-ring mount to make the Solo work.

 

Of course! And yes, but haven't been on in months, same handle there, ROCdermody.

 

Thanks!

 

And here's what your back up camera sees with a Solo HC installed....enough to not run over a skateboard, child, Prius, bicycle, etc.

 

Not mine yet as my Rotopax Gas Can is in the way

 

Mount your new Roto mount to the driver's side if you're able...that'll help out most I *think*.

 

I want a HC rear bumper and I think the hithgate would be perfect for me. The integrated swingouts cannot be removed easily and it exposes some parts to the elements. Whereas when I'm hauling my two dirt bikes to race weekends and have to keep the tailgate down while driving I can just remove the hitch gate. I may see if I can get them to just not add the passenger side D ring when they build it.

Also I think my cargo basket may still fit into the hitchgate!

 

Note, if you go with the aftermarket bumper, you'll likely need the Solo Standard instead of the High Clearance.

 

I just got an nfab but it takes up soo much space in a short bed and renders my bed tent useless. I must carry a spare however so im considering a solo standard. My pelfreys dring mounts are lower than the all pro so hoping itll clear without cutting the dring mount off
