    Solo HC horiz. support arm rises 4.5" inches above the top of the inside of your hitch. Looks like it would be VERY close.

    Maybe we should raffle it off? Let me see about getting a return label to have it shipped back.

    New single sided Rotopax Mount installed for the 2 gallon Rotopax Gas Can. Looks sweet, brings it far away from the tailgate. Now just waiting for the dual mount so I can use the 2 gallon water can

    Sorry if this was covered previously in this thread - but does the hitchgate solo lock open either at 90 or 180 so it doesn't swing back if you're parked on a slope?

    Also, are any options for adding a flip down camp table available?

    Nope does not lock in any position, but I have been camping and swung mine all the way open. And it stays where you put it.

    If you want the lockable option, you'd need to opt for our Hitchgate Max...to keep the Solo priced as low as possible, we had to keep the frills down. As @Unchained 5150 pointed out, put the proper tension on the pivot bolt and it will stay put with the help of the self-lubricating delrin washers.

    Flip down camp table? Nope. Not yet anyway.

    Got mine mounted and threw on the spare quick - will be striping/painting the spare, painting the chrome lugs, and adding the Hilift mount this weekend when I have time.

    Hey man! Looks awesome. The Solo Standard is the PERFECT call for the custom bumper. So pumped to see this.

    Yeah there is about 1.5" clearance when the tailgate is down. Once I get it all finished I will get a quality photo for you guys.

    Who is the best place/ vendor to buy these through? Wilco is the most expensive, 4Wheel parts is better. Any other vendors do good deals on the Hitchgate max or Solo?
