Hi all. Sorry about not posting a lot. Busy busy over here and saker is doing a great job being my PR manager.
As far as the tab is concerned, the reality is that you can probably get away with just two mounts but the third mount will be extra redundancy.
I’m on mobile but I’ll do my best to describe how the bolts work:
Bolt 1: grade 8 socket head cap screw. Threads into a “nut on a stick” on the inside of the hitch inserted from the rear. You don’t bottom out the head of the cap screw. The threads that stick out from the opposite side of the nut get a very tall nut/washer/lockwasher that pulls the carrier sideways - tight against the receiver. Here are some pictures, sorry I don’t have pictures from the “nut side”
These are the “nuts on the stick”
Bolt 2: is coupled with a stainless “yoke” that pulls the carrier hitch down - right against the bottom of receiver. I upgraded the yoke plate to 3/8” from 1/4” because I bent one of them (of course I was hammering on it with a snapon impact)
These two hold it super rigidly so the third bolt is really just extra security. Pretty self explanatory with this one, weld it on once the other two are installed and tight:

Relocating Camera Harness Connections
Hope this helps someone!
I am posting this for those that want to make their own camera relocation harness and reduce the amount of connections (IE: Butt connectors and/or wire splicing/soldering and heat shrink.)
Pull your wire first, then make up the terminals!
Yes, you can buy a Toyota harness (Wire, Back Door) 82189-35020, cut it in half or cut your OEM one and make an extended harness.
You can make up your own harnesses:
Here is a list of items for wiring of the license plate lights (2) wire connector and camera relocation (4) wire connector.
The connectors come in sets of 5, but seeing they weren't that much I decided to purchase them and have extras.
I also bought the electrical wire that matched the same color as the OEM camera harness.
20awg Silicone Electrical Wire Cable 7 Colors (23ft Each) 20 Gauge Hookup Wires kit Stranded Tinned Copper Wire Flexible and Soft for DIY

Split Wire Loom and some heat shrink tubing is also good to have.
So, If you want to make your own Camera Harness using the connectors purchased separately and omitting the splices at the camera wires, you can purchase these items highlighted in red below.
Items found at > www.cycleterminal.com/ts-025 sealed series
They also sell the crimping tool.

So I thought I would drop this photo of some wire tabs.
Installation of the zip tie should be as shown.
Through the tab and not over the top.
Of course wire looms covering your wires would make it look xcellent!.
Thanks to
@ ctnewman
for supplying the photo.

Man, I wish I would’ve seen this earlier! This is exactly what I’ve been wanting. The big gap on all the popular swings is why I haven’t pulled the trigger on one. Any way I could beg and plead enough to get one off centered?

I am also interested in a tire hitch carrier if you decide to make more after this batch.

That could possibly be option if someone like
@ SouthernSS
would build it with quality if ctnewman decided to go in that direction.
That’s the main reason
@ ctnewman
didn’t want to farm his work/design out.
