Let's add another one to the list!
Trail Swing by Dirtcom Inc.




www.dirtcomusa.com
This is from Dirtcom Inc built with 1.5" x .120 wall chromoly tubing with 3/16" steel plate for added strength and multiple places to mount accessories. Rotopax will bolt directly to the vertical plate.
The tow hitch receiver is lifted up higher to help with departure angle. Also the entire arm sits up pretty high on the 5th gen. I will be posting a more detailed thread soon with discounted prices for you guys here. If anyone is in the SoCal (IE) area and would be willing to let us mount one on your 5th gen for a few pics, it would be greatly appreciated and we'll make it worth wile. In the meantime here's a video link First Look! Dirtcom Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier! - YouTube

【44】Swing-Out Rear Tire Carrier Hitch Off-Road | Install | 5th Gen 4Runner Mod [4K]

I bought a Detours of Maine rear hitch tire carrier. I like this one because the tire is angle mounted and it's close to the rear body of my 4runner. Other brands are so far away from the body that it's ugly imo. anyways, I made a video of the tire carrier.

You ever had any issues with the Rotopax leaking since you have it mounted flat?

I do like the positioning on the Detour's of Maine. But yea, kind of a hassle to get it powder coated. I guess you have to take all the parts off and then get everything power coated.

I also checked out the dirtco one and looks pretty sweet. I like how you can mount a Rotopax to it as well. I assume you can push the tire in more towards the bumper if you do not mount a Rotopax on it?

YouTube video of the Dirtcom one. The more I look the more I like. $1100

No issues with rotopax. I only fill it up when I go off-roading so it doesn’t wear down as much.
I like my detours of Maine tire carrier. Lots of other options for different needs. Mine has a similar tire profile look as the CBI dual hatch metal bumper(angled tire mount).

We were conservative in our initial clearance measurements with the one currently pictured. Now that we have real world tests we were able to add another hitch pin hole to move the entire assembly 1" closer to the bumper on the 4runners. It will look closer to the bumper like it is on the 3rd Gen Tacoma pictured on the website Offroad Automotive Parts and Design
– Dirtcom Inc.


Yes it, will still be able to fit the popular 2 gallon and 4 gallon rotopax.

Let me know if you have any more questions! Group buy will be posted soon!

Wilco has had this for multiple versions of their hitchgate setup.

Overall I decided to go with the Rigd unit because after powdercoating the DOM unit the price difference is little. I also like that I can mount my accessories easier with it. Quality piece.
I'm diggin your setup, what did you do about lighting and camera situation?

I'm really liking how the options are playing out with this one. I sent out an email for ordering information.

As a follow-up to the Dirtcom Hitch Swing Tire Carrier, I reached out to the distributor for pricing. This is the price quote for just the Standard Size Trail Swing that is the offered model for a 5th gen 4Runner:

"Standard Size Trail Swing (DCTS10-1) $1750
Free set of locking lug nuts included."

It looks like a really nice product. But, at that price point, it's hard for me not to just go ahead and consider a bumper replacement with a tire carrier.

I think they have 200 dollars off. Still kinda pricey. But it looks like you get all the extra stuff other manufacturers make ya buy.

Holy crap that's absurd. I paid $667 shipped for my Detours of Maine two years ago and I thought that was expensive. Welded on a $40 Amazon Hi Lift carrier, spray painted it for $20 and have had zero problems or maintenance needed in the last 2 years. There is no reason a hitch mounted carrier like this should cost nearly the same amount as a full sized metal bumper.

Totally agreed. I’m 8 weeks into my DOM RidgeRunner order.

Have any of you guys had issues with the DtM carrier anti wobble device getting loose?

Mine wobbles around like crazy now and ended up stripping the hex key it came with trying to retighten the anti wobble device…

Damn thing doesn’t sit level either when you open it nor can you easily mount a table to it

Bunch of other issues too. Going to put the Wilco back on and toss the DtM in the dumpster if there’s no other way to fix it
