Shoot me over the code as well. Want to check it out.

 

Is there still a valid discount code? If so, please PM me too. Thanks!!

 

My Wilco has been attached to my rig for a few months now and I’m a huge fan.

I have a 2 gallon water rotopax with a spout mounted and a hi lift. I also added a tow hitch receiver recovery point.

I have a tire mounted to the back of it, with a TruckRuck that stores my HiLift base, trash bags, shaker syphon and rubber gloves. I also have a Front Runner Braii Grill that fits over the spare tire that's an awesome piece of gear.

The Rotopax is great, I mount it upside down when stopped and the spigot makes getting water out super easy. I'm considering seeing if I can fit a 3 gallon one on there - I'm pretty sure I can.

My biggest complaint is how you need to have the swing army positioned just perfectly to fit the pole through the hole and secure it. Their method of securing it close is stupid simple and lightweight, but it's not super convenient.

It also wrecks your departure angle - I slammed it several times on the whoops on the Mojave Road but to its credit it has held up great.

 

Nice pooch! Looks like this is a good way to fit the extra tire. Is the hinge set with a bearing, or just a basic tube, and is it greased and well protected from dirt?

 

I've got a Hitch Gate Max on my Tacoma, well to be honest it's on my garage floor until the salt is all off the Roads. Wilco was great to deal with, yes the Max and all there products are pretty expensive but... I think a very fair price for what you get. To be honest what sold me was the ability to A) Move it to a new vehicle should the time come, and B) remove it all together for winter when it would be bathed in NY salt. Great product I have the Horizontal "Dan Mount" HiLift mount for mine and actually emailed the Wilco Guys about a week ago about the dual roto-pac set up that's supposed to be coming out but haven't heard back yet. Oh skip the license plate relocation bracket IT SUCKS, at least with the MAX, I probably should have returned it but I didn't bother. I'll attach a pic to this thread from my phone showing it on my old truck (See point A above lol)

Did you not go with their high clearance option?

 

Need to know this too- found a standard one locally and wondering how much higher that would be to make it worth the difference.

 

The High Clearance is 4 inches higher and make a difference with Wheeling

 

Yep, like rick mentioned, 4 inches higher, definitely makes a difference. The lowest point is the receiver hitch

 

1st pic is of the Regular Solo they gave me, 2nd pic is of the High Clearance they gave me.

 

Plate looks a lot lower in the pic than it actually is

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the input and time posting the pics!

Ok, so which model is this, and how much higher is it compared to the high lift?

 

That's the standard, not the High Clearance

 

This is the High Clearance
