I gotta say your microphone is super clear!

wow, this is great. buying this over the wilco carrier now. thank you

That does look great. The issue with hitch mounted accessories is that they reduce departure angles, i.e., makes it worse. So, depending on the type of trails you travel, this might not be an issue. It's definitely easier and less expensive than the alternative, but at the expense of departure angles. Thanks for showing us this swing arm.

Strongly considering getting this. Thanks for the video. Subscribed!

Great review!! I need one!

Hey I just recognized you on Route 17! This beast caught my eye on its own and then I noticed your logo stuck to the back! 😎 👍

Seems gross. Using a cutting board left out in the open.

I understand what you mean. I just installed my bundle on my Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk v8.. looks great.

Seriously, it just looks great and fits perfectly. RIGd did an excellent job making this. There was only one downside, the instructions for the table did not match the mount I received - it was easy to figure out though…

So cool!

When you first pushed open that handle. I was like ouch. I feel like with time it’s going to get harder to open.

Yeah… it’s not that bad once you get used to it. But in the 10 degree weather over the last month - it has been pretty difficult to open. I had to blow torch the pin one time. So not the best for cold climates

something no one talks about is what happens to the rear camera with these

Love the video! Fantansic review...Hey quick question. Where did you get those after market handles? And do you like them...I wanted some black ones; however, skeptical on their strength and attachment.

Looks like it’s a Venture model. Comes that way with the black rear scoop, and black mirrors.

Nice! What size tires are you runnigyand did you have to upgrade to a heavier springs in the rear? Thanks

Does it help or hinder angle of departure given the added length of the vehicle?

Any issues with rust on your tire carrier yet? Im in upstate NY and rust happens even if you wash it off every day.

How far does that thing stick out from your bumper? Thanks from Ulster County!

i have pretty much the same setup, and I hate the Rigd handle. It scratches the hatch door when not fully pushed back. I have replaced the rigd handle with a PNW bike grip which is longer and silicone so it no longer scratchs and is easier to open and close. I really wish they put the handle on the outside so that your now pushing your hand into the hatch.

That’s what I noticed too. I don’t like that design at all. I think there other models all have it on the outside

really like your truck, I just inherited a 4runner 2011, did you have to raise your truck for those bfgoodrich to fit?

Yea! Did a 2.5” lift

how does it work with back up cam? it blocks it completely.

Does it block your backup camera? If so any solution?

Where did you bought it

1.) Did you relocate the back-up camera 2.) If you did not have you found it to be cumbersome at all? I drove without one for years but do like the feature and not sure how visibility with a tire in the rear will be. Thanks from Colorado.

@@brandocommando6593 that’s cool… I kind of want one for my sprinter van to have access to the back while having a lightweight bike and kayak rack attached, but not sure if opening it up every time I want to access the back doors of the sprinter would be a hassle or not.

Method!

I found that mounting my spare tire underneath or on the roof so much easier, so much cheaper, and there's no interference with the license plate, the backup camera, and the rear door and window. Also I don't have to worry about backing out of tight places such as parking lots. I place a lot of value with the rear sliding window when I am hauling things like lumber or anything longer than 6 feet.

Yes that rear window mmmm baby. That is the icing on the cake for the 4runner. If they loose that feature in the 6th Gen like they did on the new Sequoia that will be very sad.
