Rigd Ultraswing Review

It does not hit it at all

 

You guys grease the secondary pin at all to make it easier?

 

I haven't

Nice photos and review.

 

Hey FYI - I just learned with my order from Luke at Rigd that "We have moved on from the bolt-on bracket and now only use our VHB version" for the camera relocation. So seems like no more drilled holes.

 

Glad I got one in time thank you for the post

 

Still happy with this setup Rick? Looking at this for the GX. Rear bumpers are fairly big and ugly for the Lexus lineup.

 

Yes I love it zero complaints

 

If anyone was wondering the victory 4x4 dual Jerry can holder bolts right up to the ultraswing in place of the tire carrier. Did it on mine. I have the 4Runner specific ultraswing but I imagine the bolt hole dimensions are the same. 3” left to right. And 4” top to bottom.
One thing to note was I did add some L brackets to the bottom corners of the DJC carrier bolted to the sides of the ultraswing main tower for extra rigidity. I have stress tested this setup now on a 4 day Death Valley trip with lots of washboard and whoops at higher speed (30-40 mph) with two full 5 gallon Jerry cans and it has held up like a champ. I also did some pretty technical terrain with it such as Mengel Pass and Chloride Cliffs (past the beginning). I also notified Rigd of this but they didn’t seem to care lol.

 

@Unchained 5150 hey man, kind of in reference to your earlier post but if you have a few moments may you do me a huge favor pls and measure from the top of the hitch to the top of support arm, like in this pic here.



my new bumper has the hitch placed higher than stock so i think the tailgate may hit the support arm when its dropped down

Damn, I had no idea. May he continue to rest in peace. Thanks for letting me know.

 

Are you still liking it?

I had one for a while and my annoyances with it grew over time. Pain to access the tailgate, ended up dropping the gate on the license plate relocation bracket due to not having it open wide enough. I ended up finally removing it as I was maybe an inch of clearance front and rear in a garage due to the length of this with the tire. Noticed better ride on road without it, when I would go over bumps with the tire carrier it seemed to shake a bit even though everything was tight. Ended up selling for a 1up rakattach, much easier to access the swing locking lever and can always access the tailgate immediately. Not for everyone I suppose, definitely not for me.

 

Still love mine even though I sold it to get the Bruteforce dual swingout

My old setup:



Two 4 gallon rotopax and one 5 gal nato water can fits with no issues

 

Can you post a photo of how you mounted the dual Jerry can holder to your Ultraswing? I want to do the same and keep my spare in the stock location.
