Spare Tire Carrier Option

For anyone looking for a spare tire carrier solution. Our UltraSwing is ideal if you want to keep the rear end of your rig light and have the ability to swing out a spare tire and bike rack, as well as mount options like a camp table, Rotopax, Hi-Lift Jack, or anything else you can mount to our molle panel.

To see a basic feature overview, watch this video.

To learn about the features and accessory mounting options, watch this video.

To be convinced that our hitch-mounted UltraSwing doesn’t wobble, watch this video.

The UltraSwing is 100% made in USA

Quite literally 10 years late to the party.

theres also DETOURS OFFROAD of ME



kickass products at great prices



If all you will ever need to do is carry a spare tire. We really love bikes, so that’s a huge reason why the UltraSwing exists. It can swing both.

Just find a local fab shop, they can build one to your specifications for less money.



And please let us know when you find one that can include our features, quality, and lead times for less money.

We’ll hire them.

I thought I seen yours was $800 is that true?
Then add shipping on top of that for what another $100?

I had mine custom made, to what I wanted, not what you think I may want.
I paid less than $700 for mine OTD.
Mine doesnt rattle or wobble one bit..
Mine was done in one day.
 
The only thing bad about those (other than how far they stick out the back, looks pretty bad) is that they destroy departure angles. I hit my shackle all the time, let alone a massive carrier that sticks out like that.

Exactly why, I went with a local fab shop. Got exactly what I wanted for less and NO wobble or rattles.
:clap2:

i deleted my comment. good luck with your product! it does seem nice.
 
YOU GOT ME THINKING,I'M GONNA FIGURE A WAY TO USE THE TIE DOWN RINGS IN THE REAR TO STRAP DOWN THE SPARE.THANKS

I use two HD ratchet straps to the cargo tie down rings crossed over to hold the tire down. Think of it this way, if you can pick your truck up , turn it upside down and shake it.. what would move or bounce around.... make sure that doesn't happen hypothetically and you should be good.

Ours is actually $1,100 + $100 for shipping.

Glad to hear you found a solution you’re stoked on.

Rear bumper/tire carrier is the way to go if you are going to drop $700 on a carrier. You might as well go all the way for twice as much.



That’s entirely dependent on your priorities.

I was already a C4 Fab dealer and installer when I designed the Ultraswing, if I wanted a complete bumper and swing out there was nothing stopping me. On my 5th Gen I didn’t have any desire to add 250+ lbs to the back of my rig.

For a massive amount of 4Runner owners, that level of weight addition and commitment makes no sense. It’s not about price.

Departure angle loss is 6” total in a straight line compared to a factory hitch.

If your really wheeling hard, and that’s the priority for your rig’s performance over general uses like daily functionality, bike riding, or going fast off-road, than yeah, get a replacement bumper.

Looks like an ok alternative to a new bumper/carrier setup. However like some of the negatives already mentioned, not sure that I want my carrier hitch mounted. Seems like it would have some tendency to flop around and make friction noise as well.



Thanks for commenting, please watch our video addressing the wobble question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofzdsch9Ybg&feature=youtu.be

THANKS FOR ALL THE FEEDBACK GUYS.AFTER LOOKING MORE INTO THIS HITCH MOUNTED CARRIER AND THE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE,GUESS I'LL KEEP THE SPARE INSIDE THE CARGO AREA FOR NOW.THE WIFE LOVES THAT!!! (LOL):biggrin2:



Sounds like the safest bet. Wives also love tire carriers that drop straight down and require them deadlifting the tire up every time they need to access the rear hatch. [emoji106] Just tell them it’s free CrossFit

Damn, no love for these guys. Can’t we be nice to the vendors anymore? Lol

Once you’ve gone beyond custom fab in your garage to being a small business (4 people to be exact) you’re now the enemy of the forum. I guess we’re sell outs.

I been watching your earlier design to latest test youtube videos and your design is great, if I replace my Runner I will look into your rear tire carrier option for sure. Thx

I wish your option was out back when I had to deal with the only options.

That’s simple but gets the job done, at least you have a spare. I managed to get a good deal on the Ultraswing from a forum member. I am still waiting to pick it up as he moves cross country but I am excited to add it to my build. The one I’m getting has the Rago plate and the camp table. It’ll be lots of fun next summer fishing with my kids! Plus I’ll have a full size spare (285R70/17 AT3W), which I currently can’t comfortably lug around without sacrificing cargo space. Will update when I have the product.
